Created as a space for personal reflection — not therapy or diagnosis.
You want something different from what you have.
A better relationship. A bigger life.
And somewhere alongside the wanting is guilt.
The short answer
Guilt for wanting more is usually about a belief that your current situation is 'enough' and wanting more is a failure of gratitude — or a fear that wanting more criticizes those who gave you what you have.
What specifically would wanting more require you to change — and is any of the guilt about what that change would mean for others?
