Heart-warming, tbh.
Guilt feels like smth heavy in my chest and it makes me uncomfortable to think about its cause. I will do my best to correct the wrong I've done, and my efforts alone diminish the feeling even if the results can't always be much. I am not the type to suppress emotions and I am not passive. Emotions are there to goad me to act one way or another and I usually do so.
The twist is I don't care about the consequences... "just don't make the same mistas twice, Mr. Hill."
You don't 'care' because the consequences are not on your head. BUT...when they are...it is a different matter all together. Your response is also very narcissistic...like a child''s. Center of the Universe mindset. (BTDT myself ...lol..without intent to harm though)
IMO guilt rests on intent... If not, every time someone does not kiss another's ass the correct way...lol...it is considered an offense.
@, the master of the tube sock....I read the most marvelous driveling screams of a covert NPD elsewhere...whose entire spew fest was about lack of remorse from his exBPD....lol...which was quite outstanding, given the source....so...hmmm
Guilt is a Fact, not an emotion. Whether you give a shit or not, is a choice.
