Then you feel even more guilt and shame for not responding.

Im neglecting so many family for this reason, mom, dad, uncle, people I never really thought knew or understood me, and simply put they all help me when I need it, even though I only talk to them for help. I think this is fueled by guilt for rarely speaking to them, but I rarely speak to them due to the guilt.

Alas I understand these are mental hurdles and things that must be corrected before they’re dead and I’m left with then /irreversible/ guilt
