Instruction manual
one
The first reason leads to a sense of guilt for the past - an unreasonable desire to return and change it. A classic example from practical psychology is the guilt for the wrong upbringing of a child. Parents have a desire to eliminate the reasons that prevented, in their opinion, raising a child well, devote enough time and attention to him, and give a happy childhood

Wanting to get rid of guilty feelings about your past deeds, answer your question whether it is possible to fulfill your desire to return to the past and change it. A sane person will come to the conclusion of impossibility and utopianism.

The second step - try to analyze the conditions, causes and events of the past and answer the question, could they be different? If you answer positively to this question, your perception of the world is too simple. The past depends on many factors independent of a particular personality. In the end, you will come to the conclusion that your behavior was caused by many factors and could not be otherwise, therefore, you have nothing to feel guilty about, in those circumstances you had no other line of behavior.

The second reason leads to a sense of guilt for events and actions in the present. Psychologists consider this guilt feeling the flip side of megalomania: striving for excellence, you constantly look for flaws in yourself and your actions and feel guilty for your own imperfection.

Stop striving to be the best and give yourself the right to make a mistake sometimes - guilt will pass.
