Dear Teentalker,

Thanks for reaching us and sharing your concerns.

We are all human and its natural to make mistakes. We keep doing things that somehow affect others some time in good or bad manner. Some time we just do things without knowing the impact on others. Its very common and you don't need to feel guilty.

Dear Teentalker,

Thanks for reaching us and sharing your concerns.

We are all human and its natural to make mistakes. We keep doing things that somehow affect others some time in good or bad manner. Some time we just do things without knowing the impact on others. Its very common and you don't need to feel guilty.

 I would like to tell you first that guilt is good, you must not harm yourself by these feelings of guilt. Guilt is a feeling which comes in only when one realizes his/her mistakes. Realizing mistakes is like laying a foundation stone towards correcting them. Rather than regretting your past actions and wrong doing what you can do now is to take corrective measures so as to be careful from next time.

Guilt must always be followed by self-forgiveness otherwise it might turn out to be self-destructive and might also sabotage your goals. Moreover, it is very much needed for one’s self –esteem to remain intact or else the frustration resulting from it will lead you to anger and resentment not only towards yourself but also towards others.

Pen down the incidences or your mistakes bothering you. Find someone whom you can rely upon and discuss about your feelings with him/her. Also try to rationalize your thoughts, this will help you to overcome your guilt and will prevent you from any wrong doing in future.Identify your beliefs and values that governed your wrong actions and try to change them if found in discord with what you think presently.

Hope this helps, should you have any other query do connect online for chat between 11am-6pm or drop us an offline message.
