What /u/mandmandam says below. But life is brutal and unfair. If you try to do too much to "give back" you sometimes end up doing more damage than if you did nothing. Brother, it's just hard to be a good citizen these days. Try to stay employed, try to keep your kids out of trouble, try not to suckle too much at the public teat if you can avoid it. If you do those things most of the time, as far as I'm concerned, you're golden. Also, does it help to judge yourself with no more harshness than you do others? Do you feel the people around you who don't have the same self-doubt as you are being unreasonably destructive? If so... maybe give yourself a break.
