Guilt is like when you know you did something wrong, even if no one else saw it. It's a feeling that says, 'I should be sorry.' Imagine you took the last cookie from the jar without asking, then you feel guilty because you know it wasn't fair. That’s guilt in action.
Why We Feel It
Examples
- You took the last slice of pizza without asking, then you feel guilty because it wasn’t fair.
- You broke your friend’s favorite toy, but they didn’t see you do it, now you feel bad inside.
