it's not like I've done something so horrible to someone, physically and emotionally and I haven't done a crime. Yet for some reason I often feel guilty about how I feel for myself and making other people feel the way I do. It's weird........anyone ever feels/felt this way? if so, how did you deal? I know, it's got to do with confidenece issues.. but I feel like even if I raise my confidence I might still feel guilty or other people might make me feel that way..

First, i want u to read this excerpt from the poem "Children live what they learn"..
If a child lives with criticism,
he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility,
he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule,
he learns to feel shy.
If a child lives with shame,
he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance,
he learns patience
-----------------------
I don't know how you were raised by your parents..but this poem really inspires me a lot, sometimes, as a mom of 2 kids, when something upsets me because of their actions or behavior.. i pause for a while..remembering this poem.. i don't want my children to suffer from any emotional disturbances or weaknesses later in life because i did not raise them well.. i don't want them to experience what i am experiencing right now... i used to live with ridicule and criticism..so can you imagine what I've learned?

Do you ever do anything to help out the less fortunate or your fellow man? A very good way to get rid of guilt is to volunteer. As it is you probably feel guilty about living a worthless life. That can stop. You can volunteer with Make A Wish, Red Cross, Library, (reading stories to children) as a candy striper at a hospital. The minute you do something for someone else, you take your focus off yourself. You can't imagine how worthwhile you'll feel.

just analyze your problem. if you've done anything wrong then try solving the problem. If it's not possible just apologize to whoever needed and promise yourself you wo't do the same mistake again. You can't live free or be happy when you're feeling guilt. I've experienced this feeling and din't like it one bit. Yeah it is a confidence issue. i had. you just have to forget about your past mistakes and get on with your life. just don't do it. It'll take some time to build your confidence, but you will. All it takes is time

So then, it's an irrational sense of guilt? I mean, guilty feelings not associated with any known event? If so, I think you need to try to figure what's triggering that feeling. What are you doing when the feeling comes? Perhaps that may shed some light on what's happening.
Good luck!

You feel that way because you care about other people and don't want to hurt them, even by accident. These feelings of yours show that you are a good person and other people will appreciate you when they see that you try so hard not to hurt people. Don't worry about it. Be confident in your ability to help others, and know that most will like you for what you are. And always remember that Lord Jesus is with us and forgives our guilt so long as we believe and try to live as He asked.

Maybe it's not guilt but rather compassion. You perhaps just have a BIG heart dear. That's not so bad in fact it's a blessing according too the Word of God. Blessed are the pure of heart...enjoy. Just know when it's that still small voice speaking and your heart. Have a Blessed day!

I love Honey_babe's poem! She is absolutely right. I have found that independence--taking care of yourself--did away with a lot of the guilt I used to feel. Become your own person, give of your time to those who need help, and your confidence will grow.

"2352 By masturbation is to be understood the deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual pleasure. "Both the Magisterium of the Church, in the course of a constant tradition, and the moral sense of the faithful have been in no doubt and have firmly maintained that masturbation is an intrinsically and gravely disordered action."137 "The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose." For here sexual pleasure is sought outside of "the sexual relationship which is demanded by the moral order and in which the total meaning of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love is achieved."138 To form an equitable judgment about the subjects' moral responsibility and to guide pastoral action, one must take into account the affective immaturity, force of acquired habit, conditions of anxiety or other psychological or social factors that lessen, if not even reduce to a minimum, moral culpability."--CCC

alright, just my opinion...
we all are born with sin...so we all are not perfect & we all do wrong. I beleive you are experiencing some sort of Bondage...like a Hold the Devil has on you. My suggestion, that is, if you beleive in God anyway...is to Pray that the Lord remove this Bondage.
Either that or it is CONDEMNATION from God for something that you should feel guilty for.

sometimes when I say something and people don't answer I feel like its natural for them to do it, but when someone speaks I usually feel bad if I don't answer them and keep the guilt inside, kind of strange
