Rollo May Quotes

Condemning Ourselves Is The Quickest Way To Get A Substitute Sense Of Worth. People Who Have Almost, But Not Quite, Lost Their Feeling Of Worth Generally Have Very Strong Needs To Condemn Themselves, For That Is The Most Ready Way Of Drowning The Bitter Ache Of Feelings Of Worthlessness And Humiliation. It Is As Though The Person Were Saying To Himself, "I Must Be Important That I Am So Worth Condemning," Or "Look How Noble I Am: I Have Such High Ideals And I Am So Ashamed Of Myself That I Fall Short." A Psychoanalyst Once Pointedly Remarked That When Someone In Psychoanalysis Berates Himself At Great Length For Picayune Sins, He Feels Like Asking, "Who Do You Think You Are?" The Self-condemning Person Is Very Often Trying To Show How Important He Is That God Is So Concerned With Punishing Him.
