the constant feeling of never being able to measure up.. never having the right personality/the ability to fake things/put on a show/keep up a good reputation for my mother..
it's like the guilt.. the feeling of being a bad person is still there..

I was thinking about this... Do you reckon that the mindset of never being able to measure up gets somehow entrenched in us and results in a general lack of confidence?

And it was interesting what ExPentecostal wrote about whether you perceive the guilt as coming from people or from God... I think mine comes from God and therefore might be harder to shift?
