As a frenchman, brought in a very catholic/military traditional upbringing, guilt, shame and duty are an inner part of how I behave.

It took some time (around 28 years, actually) to fully understand the ramifications of those concepts in my day-to-day life.

It includes, but is not limited to :

• Continued efforts for agreeableness in all situations, even leading to being seen as a "pushover" or passing my turn in various occasions where I could have gained way more and/or was objectively or subjectively due more ;
• Inability to enjoy time out and vacations without having guilt about it ;
• Inability to enjoy luxury and/or delicacies seen as "non-necessary" ;
• Inability to lead a non-reciprocal negotiation ;
• Work yourself-to-death-because-you-have-to mentality ;
• Constant questioning of myself in various situations.

Part of these behaviours led me to experience objectively good and/or interesting situations :

• Being seen as reliable and truthful in almost all situations ;
• Getting rid of toxic relationships only seeking to leverage my companionship for personal gain ;
• High moral ground.

However, it also is limitating in that some behaviours or tricks can easily get me off balance and lower the efficiency with which I deal with the causes I root for :

• Leveraging the "you said you would (...)" or "that is unfair" card against me is very effective ;
