I'm having trouble getting over things I've said or done in my past. 
Any advice on this?

Everyone always says, oh sarah! you are so nice! when the truth is, i feel like a selfish asshole most of the time.

could it be that something coming in from the outside is making you feel like you're selfish, when you're really not? i used to have overwhelming feelings of guilt which turned into anxiety in every day life, but eventually a counselor pointed out to me that it was probably my mom's influence just kind of hanging on in my adult life. that helped me kind of identify it, figure out how it was affecting my thinking, and start to try to let it go. also, i think that if you feel guilty about something you've said, for example, just think how you would react if someone said the same thing to you. you'd probably forgive them and give them a break, and think "they are probably going through something", etc. and maybe you're just uniquely hard on yourself (i think a lot of women tend to do this).

Hmm...that is interesting and could be very true! I would love to spend some time talking to a counselor, but it is so much work finding someone you connect with, you know?
I think I feel selfish and guilty a lot because I can be really introverted, and sometimes get too caught up with thinking of myself. It makes me feel really self-absorbed and weird and I hate it. I wish I had a way to explain it better.
