Last question was a mistake 🙄 I meant to ask... do you ever find yourself feeling guilty for not being perfect?

I don't know how to stop beating myself up whenever things don't go right...or if I've made mistakes.

I do actually. Though I don't only beat myself up because of it. If my mistakes or imperfection hurts someone, I tend to cut ties with them or distance myself from them because I know they deserve more than this.

I've never done that.. but I know some who do. Had it done to me too, lol.

@UnicornSparkles: Sorry to hear that, you deserve better.

Cutting ties isn't that great for both parties involved. The people we're close with are hurt and it hurts us even more. I've cut off ties with a handful of people in my life - some I regret, others I don't - the rest I just distance myself away from them.

"I don't want to hurt you." It's the kind of thought that goes through my mind every time.

@GreyWorld: ironically the cutting ties part hurts most of all.

@UnicornSparkles: Yeah. It hurts. But to mend a bone that didn't heal right, you have to break it.
