Guilt, guilt, and remorse are negatively colored feelings caused by an act with negative consequences for other people, or even for oneself. If the consequences have a negative impact only on the subject, then there is a feeling of annoyance, not guilt. It is a social emotion; it plays an important role in maintaining positive and trusting relationships with others, encouraging us to behave appropriately so as not to feel guilty later, as well as forcing us to correct mistakes.
