edit guilt

The guilt you feel from amassing terabytes of video footage from your video camera (GoPro) and then hiding it away from the world because you’re a lazy, worthless, procrastinating human being who wants the final edit to be perfect for your three youtube subscribers.

Reciprocal Guilt

1. The act of lashing out at another as a result of one's own guilt. 2. Justifying one's own misdoings by pointing out the actions of others whether true or not.
Simone was cheating on Chris. When she found out Chris was talking to another girl, Simone went ballistic with reciprocal guilt and accused him of all kinds of stuff even tho it wasnt true!!

college guilt

When overprotective parents guilt you into not going to the college you want to go. Oftentimes happens when the college is too far away. Used as a last ditch effort to get their kids to stay close to home.
You: I am dealing with such bad college guilt from my parents. They are really against me going to college in Florida but I want to go so bad!

Friend: You should do you what you want to do, it’s not their college experience.

You: You are 100% right, I should trust myself and not be guilt tripped into going where my parents want me to go,

Pyramid guilting

Combines "pyramid" as in pyramid sales, and guilting, to provide a collective descriptor for all those items of social media content that seek to get themselves viral by exploiting human decency and empathy.

Individually they are generally good and moral, but as a collective phenomenon, they are experienced as moral blackmail and only cause empathy fatigue and insidious alienation from the causes they seek to promote.
That pyramid-guilt post was trying to suggest I wasn't loyal to my friends unless I liked, shared and copy-paste posted it to everyone.

Pyramid guilting is usually bad and wrong and 'poor me' attention-seeking but, just sometimes, it really is done for a sufficiently good cause.

Swing Guilt

a term used by former swing dancers to describe the lame guilt trip recieved from current swing dancers.
"awwww you should really come back dancing, its really gotten good!" which is a lie, its still lame.

"Oh where have you been?? you too good for us?"
Ask one more time and the answer is yes.

"Wow I ran into Jimmy today, what a dork... he kept slathering the Swing Guilt on"
