I read somewhere in a book (I can give you the title if you would like) something like ''I will keep on doing my best even if my ''best sucks''..... (who says or has said that our ''best sucks'' or that ''we suck''
In my case the family of origin was neglectful, pathologically mean (but affluent) and abusive and chronically ''disappointed''
I agree with the other poster about how often this feeling of guilt and hurt originates from abusive and/or neglectful parents/families and then messages from society can reinforce this. I would like to add that nearly always those negative, blaming messages are WRONG.
