When something goes wrong or someone's upset about something at work or at home and they're trying to find out who is responsible for something, even if I'm not responsible for it, I will feel immensely guilty and the guiltiest look will come across my face. I think upset or angry people seeking to lay the blame makes me anxious and nervous to the point where I feel responsible in part for something I have nothing to do with. Is it normal?

    When I go to the store, and I see security ... I'm that person who acts suspicious..

    I would never steal, or do anything to harm anyone but whenever someone thinks I am, I begin to act like it. I think its because I try really hard to show them that I'm not, but I just end up looking creepy.

    I know how you feel. If something goes wrong at work, I automatically feel guilty even though I know I had nothing to do with it.
    When I was in Job Corps people were horrible and stole things out of rooms and such. I would always feel like I had done it, and get really nervous. I would never steal anything though. The only things I've stolen in my life were a balloon when I was 5 and some change off my dad's dresser when i was elementary school.

    I'm the same sometimes. I often find it leads to self-hated. I don't think it's normal (in fact I think it's very unhealthy), but yeah. I'm the same.

    Seem like all of you are women. Not an insult really, but you feel the need to accommodate. That's it. If there ate men doing this, how about you man the fuck up, Sassy

    I also feel like this sometimes. I used to be a lot worse, but I have learned to control it most of the time.

    i feel the same way but i think in some part , it is due to me always taking the blame for everything while i was growing up even when i'd done nothing .. i still get it done to me now i'm older .. especially by my mother .. i swear , her dog could get out & run off & i"d be to blame even though -
