Why do I still feel guilty about something I once did?

Guilt got you feeling down?
Guilt is one of the 10 Negative Emotions that I mentioned in my earlier posts. Everyone feels it at one time or another, you shouldn’t fight it, but you can appreciate it.
Guilt stems from a person violating one of their personal standards, and acts as a reminder that you’ve done something that you don’t believe in. Typically, a person will deny their guilt, and convince themselves that the feeling doesn’t exist, or that they have no reason to feel such a way. Such an approach can create a negative cycle were you continue to commit the action that makes you feel guilty. The most common cause of GUILT is rudeness.
