Understanding Guilt: Perspectives and Types
At its core, guilt arises when we believe we have violated our own moral code or hurt someone else—intentionally or not. It is the emotional residue of actions or inactions that conflict with our values, often prompting us to apologize, make amends, or change our behavior. Yet, guilt is not a monolith. It manifests in different shades and degrees, shaped by our roles, relationships, and experiences.
Are You Listening?
Have you ever felt unheard or dismissed? At times, it may seem as if, no matter what you say, your words fall on deaf ears. Whether it’s family, friends, teachers, supervisors, or healthcare professionals, everyone appears to have their own opinions about what is best for you—often without truly listening.
This sense of being ignored can be overwhelming and isolating, triggering the urge to cry out, “ARE YOU LISTENING?” The desire for genuine understanding and acknowledgment is universal, and it’s important to recognize these moments and seek support where you can share your experiences and be truly heard.
