Dear Guilt: Your nature is very kind, but you have experienced suffering and inner turmoil that is not common.
Emotions and "sex" are different, but both can be refined and perfected through rational management and judgment.
The ignorance of youth is something everyone goes through, which is the "cost of growing up." Young people with potential (referring to you) are not without faults; who among us is without sin? Human errors are not sins but rather the accumulation of experiences that lead to success.
Your thinking is too complex; to overcome "psychoneurosis," you must simplify your logic.
There are no absolute answers in life, so cherish the present moment.
In summary, a professional psychologist would only offer you two pieces of advice: first, care more for your family (parents and siblings); second, find a trusted psychologist to discuss "reality and illusion" as well as "the past and the future."
