Guilt is when your brain says you did something wrong, even if no one told you. Imagine you took the last cookie without asking, your brain might make you feel bad about it, even though no one else noticed. It’s like having a little voice inside telling you, 'You should have shared!' This helps people stay kind and get along with others.
Examples
- You lied about finishing your homework, now you feel guilty even though no one found out.
- You forgot to say goodbye before leaving for vacation, but now you’re worried about how it made them feel.
