Does this mean the person really does feel guilty?

Question

o yea and even if the answer turned out 2 be no to this the person still wants to and knows they deserve to feel guitly

Answer 1

Wow, what did you do that you feel you have to be so guilty about it? If you do something bad and feel guilt then you know its bad and you should learn from it, cuz you don't want to feel guilt....it's not a good feeling.

But you have to forgive yourself and move on, because you deserve to feel happy!!!!

Don't beat yourself up for to long, cuz that is unhealthy and does nothing for your looks. I would rather see one happy ugly face than a million gorgeous faces that look sad cuz of guilt.

Answer 2

What is the point of feeling guilty, as far as you are concerned?

For most people, feeling guilty is thoroughly unpleasant. So as often as not they have an emotional blowout, feel exhausted, and start thinking about something else.
They don't learn much, and they probably don't do much to put things right.

Alternatively, a person could accept responsibility for what they've done, apologise to anyone they've offended, do whatever needs to be done to put things right (if that's possible) and think things through so they'll know how to avoid doing the same thing, or anything like it, in the future.

So yes, having an emotional blowout, like breaking down in tears, may well mean the person feels guilty. But it's no guarantee that they'll learn from the experience.
