I find myself sceptical of whether this is altruism, or a justifying righteousness to explain fear of embarrassment or rejection.
- _bxg1 7y agoIt doesn't have to be either/or. I myself have dealt with a crippling fear of being a bad person in other arenas. It's a cyclical complex of self-distrust with a sense of righteousness as the driving force pushing you downward, which makes it very hard to uproot. On that note: therapy is great, too.
