Yes, this sounds right to me. Granted, I am a 7w6 (sx/so).
There have been times in my life, especially in childhood, where I was wracked with guilt and self-doubt over my moral capacity, in a really deep and irrational sense.
But mostly, this is a background feeling that I'm barely conscious of. It surfaces once in awhile, and it's hard to feel like it isn't warranted. I tend to feel guilty about the things that a 7 probably should feel guilty for:
- Enjoying life when there is so much suffering in the world
- Not "caring" enough about other people's feelings and plights/not being able to emotionally engage when they're hurting
- Not taking care of my health, which could negatively affect my son and my significant other
- Filling my time with festivities and mindless buzzing, instead of something truly meaningful or lasting, when life is short
- Focusing more on my needs than my child's needs
- Blaming myself for staying late at work (too slow, breaks too long, waste time on details)
- Buying time for exciting experiences by cutting corners when it comes to my responsibilities.
- Failing myself when it comes to controlling my cravings, which is mostly always
I was raised by a 2/1, so maybe that gives me more awareness of how selfless a person can be, and I see myself against that backdrop.
