You knowing sky better does not change things for me, nor does the fact that your knowing her better, gives me any more insight and/or knowledge whatsoever, that there was no intent of animosity.

Guilt means you DID something WRONG. It means that you didn't take the situation into account nor try to make a good decision, or just preferred to do something wrong.

I will re-iterate once again, there are time when ALL OF US feel guilty for rather "silly" things, like I expressed in my first post and like the "silly" things that another poster replied to.
To accuse me of doing something WRONG or preferring to do something WRONG (like pulling a weed, in this case) is,
"I.M.O." ludicrous.
Finding humour within the pain I struggle with is cathartic to me. I like to laugh; It is an escape for me and I learn alot by seeing how "silly" I can be in my thinking patterns through comedic interpretations.
Apparently, it seems like the same people (over and over)do not share my sense of humour here, but that's ok. I'm still going to laugh at myself for some of the "silly" things I feel guilty about.
Both you and sky can continue to "feel" that guilt is NOT FUNNY from any perspective.
I'm curious, is all your guilt justified? DID you always do something WRONG for all the guilty feelings you felt throughout your entire life? Have you never transferred onto yourself, others' guilt? You mean to tell me that
every guilty feeling you have or have had is based on rational thought? If so, then
please , accept my sincerest apologies.
And may I suggest that in the future, to just stay away from my postings, because they
WILL have humour at times and I would hate to feel "guilty" for expressing myself in a manner that you cannot possibly understand.
By the way, good catch - emnity was indeed included in my response to reflect MY anger.
One more thing, how can sky have a truly "knowlegable opinion" when she cannot relate? Not everything out of a text book applies to all situations, nor is it all-inclusive as respects all situations. Therapists even know this one (and are also aware that they can only
speculate about what we feel, by virtue of their training, unless of course, they suffer the same illness(es) we do)...
Just because one can endeavor to "walk a mile in one's shoes" does not mean they will truly understand. They may be able to empathize more easily, but to truly understand?
I don't think so...
I.M.O!!!
