Hi Jade,

Reading through your post…it almost could have been written by me. I actually just joined this site so I could respond to your post, which I found through Googling “feeling guilty about less fortunate people”. So you’re definately not alone.

I have this feeling about a number of things in my life. I have a (possibly below) average job, but I am constantly reflecting on the fact that so many others in the world sleep hungry at night, including children. I’m finding my way spiritually lately, and it’s helped process this a bit. Though I still get pangs of guilt frequently. If something isn’t going great in my life and I feel sorry for myself…I end up telling myself off for feeling this way, because at least I have a warm bed, a roof over my head and food to eat.

If you want to talk….let me know.
