If you experience self-criticism, guilt, anguish, self-frustration… Rejoice! These emotions are the result of a deep sense of love, compassion, empathy and other positive attributes. We experience negative emotions when we feel we have let ourselves down and not lived up to our own standards. A psycho/sociopath does not experience these emotions. As Leonard Cohen said: “There is a crack in everything – that’s how the light gets in”.
