A manipulation tactic: making someone feel guilty so that guilt acts as an incentive to think or behave a way they normally wouldn't. Often involves the manipulator acting victimised or making grand gestures to create emotional debt.

A trip you should never take. You should feel guilty when you know you have done something you know is wrong. You should set things right if you can or at least try to avoid doing the wrong thing again. The main thing is your actions are based on what you think and feel, not on what someone who is trying to manipulate you wants to make you think and feel.
You owe me because my ancestors were sold into slavery by white slavers. My people didn't come here until 1889 so fuck you and your guilt trip. You owe me because of the holocaust. My grandfather died at D Day fuck you and your guilt trip. You hurt my feelings so you owe me. Fuck you I don't do guilt trips.

A tactic for manipulation. Both to make someone feel bad about something, and just be an attention whore on Social Media.
