one:
I love people. Sometimes, people don't love people like they should. This makes me frustrated and upset. Instead of focussing on loving people, I begin to focus on the fact that people don't love people well and I just get more upset. Then I get upset at myself for being upset instead of loving, which is what I get upset at other people for doing in the first place.
two:
What is with this guilt and shame shit? I still feel like who I am is bad. I've felt shame and guilt my entire life. Sometimes have been better than others. But there's something in me, something I can't shake, something that tells me I'm wrong, I'm bad, I'm not enough, I'm too much.
I'm happy. I'm very happy, damn it. Why isn't that ok?

Assess why you are guilty or shameful. Why is it you feel like who you are is bad?
If there is something specific, then see what you can do to not feel it.
BUT (and here's where I think you lie...)
If you can't then nothing can be wrong. Besides, if we are made in God's image, we don't need to worry about how...yes how... we are. We are what God made us. If something was wrong with us, God would put you in the situation to realize that and deal with it. If you're happy, be happy. Don't let anything stop you.
God calls us to be happy. Not to feel guilt or shame. You are who you are and there's nothing wrong with that. If you are happy as you are, be happy. Be yourself. No one can keep you from that. You're are enough. You're not too much. You're the right amount-- if we can quantify your existence for a second here. (but somehow i think thats wrong? :])
You said it right... the guilt and shame is shit. It's not who you are. That shouldn't be a part of anyone.
Be yourself.
Be happy.
Love yourself.
Love others.
You're good at all of that... keep it up...
with love.
