4 Selfless Birth Months With A Strong Sense Of Guilt

You shouldn’t feel guilty for doing what’s best for yourself. It’s not selfish to make decisions that are going to benefit you, that will lead you on a path toward ultimate happiness. It’s important to love yourself enough to make choices for yourself instead of hoping to please everyone around you. Of course, that’s easier said than done. Here are the birth months with a strong sense of guilt whenever they make the ‘selfish’ choice:

March

If you were born in March, then you have huge feelings. Since you’re such a sensitive soul, you cannot stand to hurt someone else because you can feel their pain. You would rather suffer yourself than watch someone you care about suffer — but you deserve happiness too. You shouldn’t feel guilty about chasing after what you want. This life is in your control. You don’t have to do what others expect from you. They can make their own choices, and you get to make yours.

July

If you were born in July, then you live to please others. You want to be the best partner or parent or friend possible, so you do whatever you can to make everyone else’s lives easier. However, this usually results in making your own life harder. Although you don’t mind making sacrifices for your loved ones, it doesn’t have to be this way. You don’t have to give up everything for them. Your happiness matters too. It’s not selfish to follow your own path. If your loved ones care about you as much as you care about them, then they’ll understand when you make a choice that makes you happy, even if it’s more inconvenient for them.

October

If you were born in October, then you live by the golden rule of treating everyone the way that you would want to be treated yourself. Since you’re so kind-hearted, you are always making the more selfless decision, even though this sometimes comes back to bite you. After all, not everyone will return the favor. They will gladly take from you, but they won’t give you anything in return. Although your generosity is admirable, you need to remember that you’re allowed to be a little selfish, especially when it comes to people who are never going to show up for you in the same way you’re always showing up for them. Why bother trying to please them when they’ll never be satisfied anyway? Focus on yourself. Not them.

December

If you were born in December, you feel a strong sense of obligation. You feel like it’s your responsibility to take care of everyone else, which is why you rarely make the more ‘selfish’ decision. You usually do whatever is best for the people around you, whatever would make them the happiest and cause the least amount of stress, because you’re prioritizing their comfort above your own. However, you need to remember that there’s nothing wrong with doing what is best for you. It’s impossible to please absolutely everyone anyway, but you can at least please yourself. You can make choices that lead you in the direction where you belong.
