After participating so much in this board for the past 3 months, I have come to the following conclusion.
Most people in this board are very smart, wonderful, very good people basically.
So why is it they are suffering so much? It is all becuase of unjustified guilt and shame and taking things upon themselves which they shouldn't be doing.
People in this board and just trying to be more good than the others, more responsible, and more nice than people I meet in real world. And it is precisely this quality that makes them suffer mentally a lot more.
Lots of us have taken more responsibility than we should, more blame on ourselves, more guilt on ourselves. And undeserving of good things.
More than any particular trait, I see this in lot of people.
I think when people go beyond their limits to judge themselves, criticize themselves, and take more guilt and blame - that is when we get really depressed.
Any thoughts? People agree?
