Scapegoat Identity

One of the most important of personal assessments we can give to ourselves, and one which will pretty quickly tell us whether or not OK are living authentically is answering this question: What thought or emotion runs me?  What emotion or thought gets me to do things I don't even want to do? 

Is it guilt?  Does guilt come around fairly frequently telling me that IF I don't do X, Y, or Z I am going to have to contend with horrible feelings of guilt later?  Do I  hang out with people I don't want to hang out with, do and say things I don't want to do and say-because I fear that if I don't I will feel guilty later?  Do I feel like I might be thought of as a "bad" person or, worse yet, a "selfish" person if I don't do that thing the guilt is urging me to do? ...
