It's negative in the sense that it can cause you to feel overwhelm and midly depress about your current state of life. This occurs when we do not understand why we're feeling guilty.<br /><br />However, consider an example of a person who watches porn 18 hours a day and doesn't feel guilty. Is that person an addict? Now, if he were to feel "guilty" then at least it's a signal or "inner guidance system" that something is wrong and needs to be changed. In this sense, feeling of guilt can be positive "signal" emotion that can work for us. By having an awareness of wanting to change, guilt serves as an alerting system that's poses a threat to moral boundary. Guilt, much like fear/anxiety are our (fight vs. flight) survival mechanism that works for us, not against us.<br /><br />The solution? Learn from mistake/lesson by not repeating it again, take new bold action, and move forward towards what you want to accomplish. You're not a guilty person but a people feels guilty. Many who feel guilty are not bad people, but are good people who knew they did something wrong. Often they live in the past and do not have proper guidance to change. Too much guilt is a problem when it leads to depression. I believe that occurs when we feel we do not someone to turn to (i.e. counselors, therapist, support group, etc). Thus, it's important to forgive ourselves, understand that we're only human, and that others want to see us succeed. There's always help available and know that feeling a bit guilty is perhaps the first step towards change (at least you feel something is wrong).<br /><br />Good luck!Jayhttp://www.detachfromporn.comnoreply@blogger.com
