Been there done that, got the T-shirt!
If I was around a friend, work colleague, actually anyone that I may have interacted with and they seemed a bit off. I would quiz myself on what I could of possibly done that could make them behave this way. I took it upon myself to look at 'me' instead of 'them', or simply accept that they may just be having an off day! I would feel tremendous guilt and worry what I could of done wrong. It is a horrible burden/feeling and can tie you up in knots.

I believe a lot of this for me goes back to my childhood, guilt was used as a form of punishment! My mother would make me swear on her life or my little sisters life if she thought I may not be telling the truth, and would remind me that if I had lied and one of them died it would be because of me (blimey, I had forgoten about that little trick of hers until now!).

Guilt is such a wasted emotion and it diminshes who we are. I am working on feeling gulity free. Life should be about accepting responsibility for our actions and learning to make good/better choices, NOT constanlty whipping oursleves with the guilt-stick!
