To take one thing off your list of things to reproach yourself for though is thinking about yourself. Everyone thinks about themselves because they ARE themselves. It doesn't make them selfish. Trying to be totally selfless is unrealistic as you are just one individual and there's only so much of the world that you can cram into your mind. And try to ignore over-analysing your choices - if the effect of what your doing is beneficial to others, what else matters?
Thanks, isobasic. Goes to show you how impossibly hard I am on myself, that I'd beat myself up for doing something that literally everyone else does. I think I expect myself to be this flawless angel being incapable of messing up. Really ridiculous. I love the last thing you said there. That's what should matter most. I'll try to remember that from now on.
