guilt

[wildflowers1996]

I feel like I should be trying a lot harder to alleviate suffering in this world
I should be volunteering, I should be a better family member/friend, I shouldn't be wasting money/resources in the way I do
I just can't seem to make myself be a better person, I want to care

There's nothing to feel ashamed or guilty about. You need to take care of yourself first before you can help others. Bettering yourself can be hard. It takes time and a lot of self-nurturing. It can be hard to try and figure out where to start, let alone to try and change the way you see and precieve yourself and the world around you. It's fine of you aren't in a place where you can help others yet. It's important to try and help yourself first and if you aren't in a place where you feel ready for that then that's fine too.
