Consider the thought that there's no wrong and we are always right. (We are talking of things that are within legal bounds of course for this conversation.) As we all know, we live our lives correctly, do our best with what we know, stay within legal limits and yet, we all carry this feeling that we are 'wrong' most of the time. We carry huge amounts of guilt, shame, worthlessness and that fear that we are wrong and will be caught soon pretty much drives our lives.
But what is wrong? If parents or society says we must live a certain way, and we have chosen not to, we feel wrong. So what if you failed, dropped a course, had a love affair, a broken marriage, a same sex relationship, had a child out of wedlock, have had addictions, mental issues? So what if you're not as successful as others are, as 'correct' as others are? What if there's no 'wrong' and what if we are right in our own way. Others may have their opinions but we are right as far as we are concerned. What if we bought into a false narrative and are feeling guilty for simply living our lives?
Imagine how freeing that thought is that everything about us is right.
Whatever society says or others say, as a way of making you feel smaller or lesser, as an opinion or norm, ignore it. You can have your opinion too - that it is right and that it expands you and that you are not harming anyone by doing it - so its no wrong.
Looking after yourself, doing things for your growth, doing things your way, are not wrong.
Do not fall for that. There is nothing wrong with you. Everything is right with you. Go forth confidently. Grow. Be in a place of love. Not fear. Don't worry about others - we can never please them and they come with as many opinions as they are people. As long as its growing you, as long as it is not harming anyone else, as long as it is in the cause of love - for yourself and for others - you're in the right.
Drop the fear. There's nothing wrong about you, about anything you do. It's all right.
