Catholic Guilt….Hint: It’s not just for Catholics

This post contains affiliate links.

I feel guilty all the time. I may not be Catholic but I know what it is and I definitely feel it.

I feel guilty for the stupidest things too, it’s never something big. I feel guilty when I do well on a test in school if a friend does worse than me. I feel guilty when I’m driving and I see someone pulled over for speeding. I feel guilty at work if I get through and someone else is still working.

I know that everyone has their quirks and that this is probably just one of mine but it’s hard. I hate feeling guilty all the time, especially when I shouldn’t. I hate feeling like I shouldn’t be happy because someone else isn’t.

I’ve been trying to not let things bother me as much lately and I’ve actually been doing a good job at it but it doesn’t help when people that are my “friends” are questioning things I buy for myself. According to them I have been buying myself too many new clothes. I didn’t even know that keeping track of what other people buy is a thing. Is it?

Thank goodness I have amazing friends like Rebekah that will listen to me vent and tell me that I don’t need to feel guilty and that I don’t need to justify what I buy to anyone.

Guess what people…I’m single. I don’t have kids or a husband to spend my money on, just me and my dog. So yes, I do buy a lot of things for myself because no one else is going to and I’m not going to feel guilty about it anymore.

Do you feel guilty all the time or is it just me?

    I think I have a fair share of this as well. I feel guilty if I have a pity party even though I know other people have it way worse. Which only makes the pity party worse, you know. I feel guilty when I’m five minutes late to work every now and then (even though I sometimes work through lunch and stay late … and honestly, no one notices). I feel guilty saying “no” to people when I’m invited somewhere even though I have other plans or truly need some downtime.

    I would love just to spend a lot of money on me!
    But I feel guilty all the time. About not having enough money to pay bills or to buy something for someone. Or to buy something for myself. I feel guilty that I can’t do the things others do or cancel plans a lot because of my health.
    I think sometimes I over guilt myself. It’s just not you!

    So I am super late…just hanging out and catching up on blogs but I say enjoy spoiling yourself. I did the same thing before I got married and had children. I miss it from time to time because now if I splurge on myself Im always thinking about what I could’ve done with that money (like something for the kids, home, life, etc.) so enjoy!!!
