<font color="green"> I think that for me the biggest one is # 10. After years of being told I was responsible for everyone in our family I just moved on to feel responsible for the world’s woes. Ala ‘the butterfly effect,’ if I don’t do enough or I do something wrong then whatever bad happens next is my fault. I cannot see someone around in pain without feeling responsible for causing it and for relieving that pain.
I am working hard on recognizing my limitations – i.e. I am not capable of total world control and my boundaries – i.e. I am not responsible for the actions of others. I find it difficult to say I have done what I can and it is up to the other person now. That is a big goal for me to be able to say I am not responsible for the actions of others.
