Very thought provoking thread. Can relate to many of the failings listed. My personal top 2 are:
1) Failing to give myself a pat on the back or an attaboy for successes. Guess my mind assumes anything but success is failure.
2) Inability to take pride, happiness and enjoyment from successes even if they are really important to me and those I love.
3) Not a psychiatrist but I think this resulted from the way I was raised. Taught to feel shame for not reaching my goals and taught to feel shame for feeling full of myself when I did. So guess my central regret is not finding a way to overcome this basic impediment.
