Do you ever get an overwhelming feeling of guilt?

[BabyPiglet]

I do. A lot.

Last night I pushed my cat off my bed because I was about to go to sleep and she was sitting right in the middle of where I lay. Well afterwards I just felt completely awful about it. She was only trying to snuggle up and sleep, she didn't deserve to be pushed. I also feel bad if I throw a stuffed animal off my bed. I usually go and pick it up and say sorry.

Sometimes I feel like I'm completely un-aware of other peoples feelings. And I just say things that could really hurt.

I just found some college papers my mom had printed out today. And earlier she told me about this freshman camp they have at the university I wanna go to. I immediately told her "No." because I didn't think it would be fun to hang out with a bunch of strangers. But now that I'm thinking about it, I actually think it's a good idea. I could meet new people, make friends. I cannot believe I just told her...No. Just "No."

She apparently spent all morning researching college things for me. And I just shot all her efforts down with one word. I feel like an awful human being. I cannot even get my mind off it. I would go talk to her but she's asleep.

And she was looking at different college majors for me. One she printed out sounds really good. But she didn't show them too me. I feel like it's because I just shot her down. She might've just forgotten about them, but that's not how I see it.

I can't even judge if my guilt is un-founded or not. I just know I feel horrible now. Maybe it's some sort of personality disorder?

And sometimes my dog will be laying under my feet and I'll just ignore her. I won't even pet her. Then when she walks away I feel so guilty. I should've petted her.

Even on the DIS. Someone will ask a question that's been asked a lot before, and I'll say something snarky. That's totally wrong. Sometimes I just have no awareness for other peoples feelings.

Anyway, on to the point of this thread. Does anyone else ever feel like that?

Yeah, I do. Its like I don't even give something a chance, because alot of the time I base my choices on emotions. I make too many assumptions. I've done this lately about doing summer school. It would be to my advantage to do so, and I could get ahead and get some other classes in for the fall semester but I also want my summer break too!! I have to know by sometime in March. Argh.... And what I decide to do, I know I will regret not choosing the other option.

I do that alot.
Especially when it comes to my boyfriend.
We haven't seen each other in three weekes because we've both been really busy in school. SO we only get to talk on the phone and sometimes I'm REALLY irritable on the phone and cranky, and once I hang up the phone I feel TERRIBLE for being so rude to him and I'll sit around and think about it until the next time I talk to him.

I also feel really bad as well, if I do what you said too Jenny, if my mom asks me a question and I just say "NO" right away or if I give her a rude answer. I always feel so guilty and I'll always apologise.

Feeling guilty is possibly THE worst feeling ever, so I try to avoid it at all costs. And when I am unfortunate enough to have to feel guilty I will do ANYTHING in my power to fix it.

I get this feeling every other day. I have to take an ethics course at my school. It sounds interesting, but for the past 2 weeks, morality and "good" and "bad" and "right" and "wrong" have been preached to me endlessly.

Today's lesson, lying and cheating, really got to me because of some recent drama in my life. Here's the catch: I'm not lying or cheating.

I always feel guilty in the morning when my dog wants in my room when I go back after eating breakfast, but I won't let him in. He's cute and adorable and wants in... but I know he'll just hide under my bed and won't come out.
And I usually feel awful after yelling at my mum. I just get really irritable sometimes and I take it out on her... and I feel bad.

 

[BabyPiglet]

I'm so glad I feel better today. I got to talk to my Mom this morning.

Now I'm trying really hard to be nice to my pets and inanimate objects.

Recently, my cat has been enjoying my bed more and more.
And he is a large cat. And I like to sleep with my door shut, and if I let him sleep in my room , he's gonna wake me up at like...3 in the morning to leave and eat. On weekends, I really don't care, but on school days, I'm kind of...ish =/

So, there was this one time where he fell asleep smack dab in the middle of my bed. And I wanted to go to sleep. I try to pick him up, but he's way heavy. So I drag him, and he's growling and meowing at me, so I ended up throwing him out of my room. I felt soooo guilty about it. So he was lingering outside my door, and I felt really bad and let him in again.
And he went back to sleep.
And he woke me up at 3 in the morning. And it got me mad.
xD

My cat was sleeping and I came in a clapped really loud just messing with her
and after I did that..

I felt EXTREMELY guilty.
I still do.. so I came in the room more and sat down beside her and whispered how sorry I was and she could go back to sleep.
and..we snuggled so I think its all right.

My cat has NEVER been mean to me. NEVER clawed anyone, let alone hissed.
So..Why I decided to do that was beyond me.

I feel guilty all the time
