Feeling guilty when health isn't perfect

Do any other INFPs feel guilty when they go to the doctor or dentist and have some sort of health issue? Like, even if it's not your fault? I went to the dentist this morning and had mild decay in a wisdom tooth and felt like it was a character flaw. :ssad: I'm such a perfectionist.

Sigh. Gonna throw a monkey wrench in here.

I *know* INFPs are perfectionists who are too hard on themselves. On the other hand, not attending to your teeth can lead to real problems down the road.

If you have been brushing/flossing, don't sweat it so much: some people have more susceptible teeth than others.
OTOH, if you brush your teeth once every 2 weeks and don't floss, .... the bacteria simply don't care if you're a good person or not. :shocked:

For things of maintenance of one's health, I've learned over time it's best to make a mindless habit out of a few good habits.

Best wishes. :happy:
