Felon's Guilt

The type of guilt (remorse for misdeed) felt when capture/punishment is imminent. It's not that the misdeed itself is regretted due to realization that it was wrong, but only because the person is unwilling/unable to accept the consequences. Term comes from the colloquial and the legal system ("felon").

The thief was not sorry she stole; but was very, very sorry she was going to prison.

Freeloader's Guilt

When someone who is a known freeloader has received "charity" gifts from someone, and they end up letting things go such as bitchiness, abuse, or excessive rudeness, due to the fact that they feel that they have no right to oppose this person because they have bought them so many things.

Anna: "Yeah, I just can't take her bitching at me so much, but it's just that I have the worse freeloader's guilt, and I don't feel that I have the right to say anything =("

White guilt

See White Saviour

Hi, I'm Jamima, I'm a white saviour who gets offended on behalf of another race and I want to cancel culture on behalf of the black people. My ideologies stem from white guilt.

man guilt

The burden of having balls and a penis while trying to live up to society's ideal standards and failing.

She told me she liked girls better and I got a serious case of the man guilt yet again.

Collective Guilt

Collective guilt is defining guilt that is shared by a group of people over an act or actions that is seen as shameful. It is not talked about, but does manifest.

Afrikaners of South Africa have a collective guilt over Apartheid. So do the Germans on the Holocaust.

Anglo guilt

Deep shame arising in Europeans and European-Americans for the legacy of racism and colonialism, often accompanied by a fervent desire to make amends or justify previous reparations.

My grandmother says that some of our ancestors were Native Americans, but that might just be Anglo guilt.

Imperial guilt
