No one pulls a guilt trip on me. But if they did Id walk away.

[this is my nic]

I don't play that game.

I have known of several friends who have lived through their entire lives from someone, usually a family member, who has mastered the cruel placing of 'a guilt trip' on a child that stays stored away with them through adulthood. It is a form of control, especially for a person who is not sure of their own self esteem.

Guilt trips can lead to depression, unstable relationships and a huge need to be wanted, maybe more of acceptance from (those) whom are not as close.

I do know that parents contribute mostly in making a child feel that s/he has never or can not live up to their full potential, when in deed the insecurity lies under another health issue, mentally or physically.

Also, there is a condition, with that person, when as a child, that can or could flare up from past memories.

Guilt can be that deep seeded into one's psychopath for years, unless treated by a professional, in the event-[when] that guilt takes all emotions for happiness to prevail.

Nobody in my life makes me feel guilty about anything, or at least they haven't yet.

I did learn, years ago, the power of saying No. Calmly and firmly, No.
