I have neurotic guilt. Help!
I listened to no Dr Robert Glover's interview on the new man podcast. He talked about a type of guilt called neurotic guilt. It's when you believe that other people (friends,families,colleagues) are gonna be upset at you if you do something nice for yourself. Like going on a vacation, going to a good school, accomplishing things in life, having a badass job.

I got a slap in the face after listening to this. Because I AM GOING THROUGH THE EXACT SAME SITUATION. I feel like I haven't accomplished anything in life because of feeling this neurotic guilt. I always feel like I'm gonna upset other people if I start moving up in the world.

Like yesterday, I went out with friends and was hanging out with them at clubs downtown. Even though I have gotten good at approaching girls, stating sexual interest, laughing at rejection. Deep down I felt like I shouldn't hit on any girls because then my friends would be left alone or have no girls for themselves. Stupid shit I know but it's like a deep unconscious feeling.

Another example. My sister and my mom don't look out for their health much. I feel like I'm gonna upset them if I start working out, eat healthy etc etc.

Can anyone relate to this?

How do I overcome this feeling?
