I always hesitate about going out and having a good time. This happens when I'm about to go to a concert or make a big purchase. Why? I don't feel like I deserve to. I don't feel like I've accomplished enough yet.
Are you like this?
I want to enjoy my time, but I can't seem to shake that feeling of guilt.
I used to feel this way in school cause I would time spent having fun could have been time spent studying. But then I started ignoring that feeling and my life became much more balanced.
I would when I lived with my family and still occasionally do now on my own. I felt like I should have stayed home in case something happened, a fire, an intruder, the end of the world etc almost as if I have to be there guns ready while they sleep because my mind thinks of the worst scenarios involuntarily. Investing in cameras, motion sensor lights, a strong gate and guard dogs gave me a little more peace of mind but not enough to make it go away forever
Not necessarily but I usually catch myself out of the moment and thinking I could be doing something else
