Imaginary and Unjustified Duties
The person who wastes her life denying herself by a sense of the wrong obligation only diminishes and hurts others. Often, that person exaggerates that sense of obligation to justify his self-rejection. She considers that her obligations absorb her because she fears to look at her life as someone free would do. She feels that, first of all, she has responsibilities towards others and uses that exaggerated obligation to justify her failure to achieve her own potential and as an excuse for not taking risks.The person who wastes her life denying herself by a sense of the wrong obligation only diminishes and hurts others.
