Does the guilt carry over into other parts of your life?

[Guest guest]

This was in another post and I felt like it was enough to turn into a thread:

" as adults we get to say " no " sometimes "

Sometimes I find myself carrying over a lot of guilt into my life in other ways.

I'm so bad at saying no to anyone. It's like I'm always trying to atone for

something. It sometimes gets to the point where I become physically ill because

I've signed myself up for so much stuff - meetings, photo gigs, helping people,

school, writing, whatever. I feel like sometimes I do this because I want to

make everyone happy - because if I say no or disagree I'm afraid they'll become

unhappy and abusive.

Is this normal? Is this a thing that happens when you have one of these parents?
