Guilt is a crazy monster. It’s consuming and it can make you act in all sorts of ways.
When I was younger, I didn’t come to terms with my own guilt and instead it made me act angrily at other people.
It still happens occasionally that when I feel guilty, I act out angrily towards other people. It’s just one of those matters of projection. I wish I could say it doesn’t happen now and that I deal well with my guilt, but that’s not always true. Sometimes it’s better to just feel sad and upset about my guilt and not take it out on other people.
In comparison, I think that’s a lot better, there’s no need to hurt or get angry at others for my own guilt.
It’s something I hope to be a lot better at in the future.
I suppose it’s always best to just deal with the guilt and try to resolve or make peace with it. But as we all know, that’s quite difficult to do. I’m sure many people have been hurt or angry and taken it out on other people. If we were all perfect people we wouldn’t do that, but we’re not. I’m certainly not, but would like to be better!
