Did you ever, or do you still, have a lot, or some, or no guilt about CDing? (P.S., Vanessa mentioned shame. I meant to say guilt or shame. I think they're about the same thing.)
Same question regarding fear of getting caught.
On a scale from 0-10, with 0 meaning none and 10 meaning max, what are your current and past levels of guilt and fear about CDing?
Luckily, unlike some of you other gals, I don't think I've ever felt guilt about CDing, but I had a little fear of getting caught.
Although I never felt guilty about CDing, I did feel ashamed of crying until I was about 6. I remember crying a lot from age 5 or so till age 6 I think. My folks apparently criticized my constant crying, so I felt guilty when I did it. When I was finally able to control it at about age 6, I felt proud for a while, and relieved that I could control it. But in my early adulthood at least I decided there's nothing wrong with crying, so I stopped suppressing it and I think that was a healthy decision.
My Ratings
Past guilt about CDing: 0; Present guilt: 0; Past fear of getting caught: 3; Present fear: 1.
If you like, please talk about where your guilt and fear came from a little too.
(By the way, Vanessa et al, I don't feel that I've ever felt guilt or shame for CDing, which is why I'm curious how others acquired either of those feelings.)
