How do you feel Guilt, Remorse?

Postby TameQueen » Tue Nov 14, 2017 5:30 pm

I thought I'd come straight to the source of those who know best what it feels like.

1.What is the difference between the two, and how do they make you feel?
2. Say I did something really awful like hurt an animal in my past, but push it out of my mind and only worry that others will think badly of me because of it because they know about it. Is that guilt? This is hypothetical.
3. Say that I got drunk and cheated on my boyfriend. I ultimately feel bad about it but not in a way that makes me tell him or is constantly hurting me. Is that remorse?

Remorse is a sadder, more resigned emotion; guilt is more nervy and scared of being found out, I think.

Remorse is what you feel about any Action you have done that you know was wrong or hurtful. Guilt is what you feel about yourself when you have done something wrong or hurtful.

I have only experienced remorse a few times throughout life, but trust me it was very painful. Remorse is a deeper type of pain in my opinion bc it keeps bringing you back to the act you committed. And because I"m a good girl 95% of the time, I don't act out in a way that brings me feeling remorse often or even occasionally.

Guilt can get the best of me at times, I have to remember to forgive myself when I'm feeling guilt for something I've done and once I do the guilt subsides and things go back to feeling normal=Happy.

Remorse : Action. You killed your best friend. You feel remorse for the killing, how you killed him, how you treated the body, where you put the body. Most people would feel remorse for what they did, not how it made them feel ( how it made you feel would be guilt ) This is remorse, feeling horrible for the ACTION ( killing ) you committed.

Guilt : You. I made your brother a birthday cake, you took it out of the fridge and cut it up and ate some. You were caught and felt guilty for what you did. You didn't feel guilt for the the action ( eating the cake ) you felt guilt for hurting the person who the cake was made for. Guilt is something you feel for yourself. Remorse is something you feel for the action done to another.
guilt is how you feel about yourself ( making a judgement towards the self ) remorse is how you feel about the action or harm towards the object or circumstance. ( remorse usually makes you want to make right what you did wrong.)

If you are constantly hurting others by your actions, you will feel a lot of remorse throughout your life. Guilt is more of a self emotion or strong judgement about yourself, remorse is more about taking responsibility and hating yourself for actions you took to hurt another.

Idk. I don't really feel those things and there is only one event recently that I can think of that makes me feel bad, but I usually shove it to the back of my mind. There is not point in harping on about the past.
