'''Guilt''' is a cognitive or an emotional experience that occurs when a person believes or realizes—accurately or not—that they have compromised their own standards of conduct or have violated universal moral standards and bear significant responsibility for that violation.

==Definition==
Guilt is a feeling of responsibility or remorse for some offense, crime, wrong, etc., whether real or imagined. It is related to, but distinctly different from, [[shame]], which is the feeling of distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior.

==Types of Guilt==
There are several types of guilt, including:

* '''True Guilt''': This is the feeling that comes when one has done something wrong.
* '''False Guilt''': This is the feeling of guilt over something that one is not truly responsible for.
* '''Vicarious Guilt''': This is the feeling of guilt that comes from the actions of others, even if one was not involved in the action.
* '''Survivor Guilt''': This is the feeling of guilt that comes from surviving a situation in which others did not.

==Effects of Guilt==
Guilt can have several effects on a person, including:

* '''Emotional Distress''': Guilt can cause feelings of sadness, anxiety, and depression.
* '''Behavioral Changes''': Guilt can lead to changes in behavior, such as increased generosity or avoidance of certain situations.
* '''Physical Symptoms''': In some cases, guilt can lead to physical symptoms, such as headaches or stomachaches.

==Coping with Guilt==
There are several strategies for coping with guilt, including:

* '''Acknowledging the Guilt''': The first step in coping with guilt is to acknowledge the feeling and understand its source.
* '''Making Amends''': If the guilt is due to a specific action, making amends can help to alleviate the feeling.
* '''Seeking Professional Help''': If guilt is causing significant distress, it may be helpful to seek the help of a mental health professional.
