When I was a wee lad, I used to feel horrible over most insignificant, stupid little things.
I remember when I was about seven, my dad took me to the University of Colorado homecoming football game, and as the team ran out, they released thousands of balloons up into the sky. I felt so bad, because I was convinced there were thousands of poor kids in the world whose parents couldn't afford balloons, and now these people were throwing away tons of balloons that could make so many kids happy. I started to cry right there.
Also, I was really into stuffed animals (like most kids). Every time I got a new one though and would play with it, I felt so bad because I thought I was neglecting all my old stuffed animals. I'd have to console them later on and promise to make it up to them. I'm sorry, Molly the dog.
My weirdest and most traumatic one is when my parents would take us on car trips, and my sister and I were being really quiet in the backseat, I would worry that the door would fly open and I'd fall out, and they wouldn't ever notice I was gone. Sure, this was scary, but it saddened me to great lengths because my parents would have driven hundreds and hundreds of miles without even wondering where I was and when they got to their destination, they wouldn't even care. Completely unjustified, I mean, they weren't mean parents or anything, but the state of Wyoming used to make me cry.
