If we really want to have authentic connections with others, then we need to talk about two kinds of psychological baggage we tend to carry around, which make us completely self-conscious about our capacity to connect with people: (1) guilt about how we've let others down, and (2) resentment about being let down by others in the past. The resulting beliefs -- that we are not enough, and that others are not enough -- get in the way of trusting our innate capacities to give.
-- Kelsey Crowe and Emily McDowell, There Is No Good Card for This, p. 27
