Guilt

I used to be HORRIBLE about guilt. I still am, but not near as bad as when I was little.

Every moment of guilt I experience in my life I carry with me, I can't seem to forget them for some reason. Kind of annoying, to be honest.

Luckely, moments of true guilt have been few.

I never do anything to feel guilty about, except there's something I did to my cat when I was 9 that I still feel guilty about :(


Don't look at me like that, I didn't know then that cats hate water :(

I used to feel guilty for things but then somewhere along the way I somehow went astray and stopped feeling guilt over anything at all. Sometimes in my past this has proven most useful to me and at other times I feel like I must be wrong in some mental balance sense since I don't get the concept of feeling guilty once a friend asked me if I felt guilty about the way I was being towards another "friend" and I explained I don't even understand the concept of guilt really anymore and they were just like :O :\

i feel guilty for things that arn't even my fault
:(

I mostly feel guilty about not doing stuff I should be doing.

I felt guilty until I realised that my parents aren't perfect either. Now my guilt slacks off a bit. Mainly I feel guilty when I think I've left someone who's upset or I can't think of a way to help them.

I was raised on guilt. When I did bad things as a little kid my discipline was to stand in the corner and think about what I did - and it worked extremely well. So, yeah, I can be guilted pretty easily. But I can turn it around, too.

Everyone feels guilt, it's human nature. How each of us cope with that guilt is the difference.

I'm a horrible (as in ineffective) liar, so I must feel guilt when I do bad things.

Hahaha, someone asked me that recently when I was feeling really guilty about something. I was RAISED Catholic, so I guess they imparted their ways on me. xD

Negative emotions that are not reinforced positively are purged out of my system.

I feel guilty about really weird stuff. I was in a restaurant once, ordered a filet mingion because I was like OMG FILTET or whatever and when it got there all I could think about was that my dad had never eaten this and my dad had never been in an airplane even though he wanted to be a pilot when he was a kid and he never got to go to Alaska and I started crying really hard and had to leave the restaurant.

I felt guilty yesterday because I was teasing one of my managers about how he lost me a 5 dollar bet by doing something and so he pulled $5 out of his wallet and handed it to me and I was like WTF NO take it back. So he did and I didn't feel guilty anymore.

I felt guilty this morning because I woke up at 8:01 AM, and I had to be at work at 8 AM. I literally ran out of the house, and was at work at maybe 8:10 or something. Fortunately they all (including my boss) laughed at me when I arrived, since I looked all confused and stuff. I hate being late! - makes me feel so, well.. guilty.

It was I who steal the cookie from the cookie jar, and I denied it and they never knew! I fell no guilt nor do I regret what I did! :mwahaha:

I feel guilty almost all the time. Well, in my down time, before bed, I start thinking about all the bad things I've done in my life and I start to feel really bad. Sometimes I cry because it's just so intense. I hate the way I've led my life.
