Get the Reciprocal Guiltmug. 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,

Get the college guiltmug. 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.

Get the Pyramid guiltingmug. The feeling when you've doggedly pursued a healthy lifestyle (for 1 day-forever) and then your work pals invite you for an afterwork drink... and you realise one pint will ruin everything.
Internal monologue: I really want to go out and have fun but I'm already feeling pub guilt - an internal dreading of huge amounts of calories and naughty additives that will ruin my attempts at being healthy.
I'll just go home - can't face the pub guilt.
I can't come out - I'm going to the gym. Best to avoid the pub guilt.

Similar in concept to white guilt, tech guilt is a growing feeling among tech workers who are buying or renting homes and apartments made available by the eviction of socioeconomic minorities or the gentrification of "transitional neighborhoods" in major tech hubs like Silicon Valley.
