Your Type
For you, guilt isn't just 'feeling bad' — it's the whole floor dropping out. Your standards for yourself are high, so when you disappoint someone, it amplifies into 'I am a terrible person.' You're not. You're someone who feels very deeply — and who needs to learn to separate the event from yourself.
💡 Did you know?
Moral perfectionism research shows people who process guilt as 'I am bad' (character attribution) rather than 'I did something bad' (behavior attribution) have a 43% lower self-change success rate — because character attribution triggers defense mechanisms, while behavior attribution activates genuine change motivation.
