What can you tell me about GUILT?

Answer 1

I feel it all the time

I fought with Dad without saying I'm sorry" afterwards

the feeling guilty is beating me up emotionally

Answer 2

Guilt is a strong thought/feeling/emotion. It pulls you, wishing you had done something differently (whether it's true or not), in order that there were a different outcome to what happened.

Guilt is with you until you learn forgiveness. It's not something you can reason away with logic. It's not something you can wish into nonexistance. Forgiving yourself, or someone else, letting it go for all eternity is where your freedom will be found

Answer 3

Just google it.

In my opinion when I hear or see guilt I think -

Remorse, Regret.. Faults. Choices. Wrongs.

See where I'm getting at?

Answer 5

Guilt is:

Feeling of responsibility for negative circumstances that have befallen yourself or others.

Feeling of regret for your real or imagined misdeeds, both past and present.

Sense of remorse for thoughts, feelings, or attitudes that were or are negative, uncomplimentary, or non-accepting concerning yourself or others.

Feeling of obligation for not pleasing, not helping, or not placating another.

Feeling of bewilderment and lack of balance for not responding to a situation in your typical, stereotype manner.

Feeling of loss and shame for not having done or said something to someone who is no longer available to you.

Accepting of responsibility for someone else's misfortune or problem because it bothers you to see that person suffer.

Motivator to amend all real or perceived wrongs.

Guilt can:

Make you become over responsible, striving to make life ``right.'' You overwork. You over give of yourself. You are willing to do anything in your attempt to make everyone happy.

Make you over conscientious. You fret over every action you take as to its possible negative consequence to others, even if this means that you must ignore your needs and wants.

Make you over sensitive. You see decisions about right and wrong in every aspect of your life and become obsessed with the tenuous nature of all of your personal actions, words, and decisions. You are sensitive to the cues of others where any implication of your wrong doing is intimated.

Immobilize you. You can become so overcome by the fear of doing, acting, saying, or being ``wrong'' that you eventually collapse, give in, and choose inactivity, silence, and the status quo.

Interfere in your decision making. It is so important to always be "right'' in your decisions that you become unable to make a decision lest it be a wrong one.
