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,

Guilt Wash

When you are in a public bathroom and you have no intention of washing your hands after using the bathroom, until a random stranger comes in, at which point you wash your hands out of fear that the person will think you are a dirtball.
Ty was finished peeing, and a man walked into the restroom. He wasn't going to wash his hands, but since the other man was there, he walked to the sink for a guilt wash.

Guilt money

The money you get from your absent dad who can't be there for you everyday. The money he gives you for all the things you wanted that he couldn't buy those years ago before you had him in your life. Basically, it's daddy absent/issue money from biological dad's who can't always be there for their children.
Dad: Here's $20. Spend it on whatever you want.
Son: Wow! Thanks dad, I'll buy some bobux with this!
Mom to Dad: Stop giving him guilt money just because you're never around that much.

Face-guilt

When someone you hardly know/don't particularly like sends you a friend request on Facebook/My Space. Even though you don't really want to be friends, you feel obligated to accept the request.
Jen: Hey, I see on your Facebook page that you're friends with Bob now. When did this happen?

Sam: Face-guilt, man! I felt too bad rejecting the request.

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!!

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.
