Sometimes even if i push or touch others accidentally, i immediately feel guilty and ask for forgiveness as a reflex reaction. It's like touching things that don't belong to me is a kind of civil crime that will cause a damage to my image and character. Need some honest comments on this. Reply to this Question Share |

Hi,
I thought I was the only person that felt like this, so its some relief that there are others.
I have asked my mates the same question about myself. And they think its to do with my childhood. I was not liked very much by my mother, and was constantly trying to seek approval from her. It made me a very insecure person, and I have found it extremly hard to deal with at times.
My mates said that I should stop looking at it as a negative thing. There is nothing wrong with having good manners, or feeling guilty, if you hurt someone. Its normal, and we are just a bit more sensitive.
I bet on the plus side, you have loads of really good mates. And they all have nothing but good to say about you.
So what if we say the wrong things at times, we are only human, and thats our type of character.
