Why do you feel guilt is a strong companion? We're you raised by someone who used it to keep you in line or is it just in your nature?
That tends to be fixed either with time or an outlet if they're the sort to recognize their own behaviors in that way. If not, they tend to go elsewhere before becoming too close. Their faces tend to make that obvious if they aren't face actors that know the game, and those hints show that being a little softer for a time can be the way to go.
Most people who hang around me are either introspective or talk to others to proxy their lack of it. Both tend to come with communicating what's going on somewhere down the line instead of harboring it inside and hiding what's going on.

What is the meaning of forgiveness?
To un-nail oneself from the proverbial cross.
Is it hard for you to forgive?
It's hard for me to feel particularly slighted. When I do, though, I rarely forgive.
Are you against it?
Forgiveness at the expense of self-respect, yes. Otherwise, no. I'm sure it's Godly and all that.
Is there something you did that you wish someone else would forgive you for?
No.
What about forgiving yourself?
Probably.
True forgiveness is when you finally understand how somebody's mind works, you put yourself in their shoes and realise that actually there is nothing to forgive because you could well have acted in a similar way yourself had you been in their position.
However, that kinda forgiveness is rare and generally i'm pretty ruthless in cutting people out of my life who aren't loyal.
