I think I have experienced that entire list-some things simultaneously. It took someone else to take me outside myself and see those things for what they were-roadblocks. I still find myself sometimes regressing, but the essence or almost all of those is putting oneself in the center of their own little universe-something I strive to no longer do. One can take responsibility-it is not always prudent to take blame. It's been only 3 years of unlearning those things that took a lifetime to be comfortable with-it's a hard journey, but a rewarding one.
