death guilt

When your parents guilt you into hanging out with them because they say you will regret it later if you don’t. Type of manipulation.

Dad: “hey want to go to - with me?” You: “not really” Dad: “you’ll regret that later” you in your head: “he is death guilting me”

Conservative Guilt

Conservative guilt is the action of pretending to be poor to appeal to the humble narrative, or ethos.

Fred: "Elon claims he lives in a box and below the poverty level despite immense wealth. As does Mr Beast, Jack Dorsey, Donald Trump and Mark Zuckerberg once upon a time."

Joan: "Sounds like more conservative guilt, Fred"

mammalian guilt

a nagging feeling that dinosaurs didn't deserve to go extinct, since they weren't unfit for their environment - it was the environment that turned on them overnight, which is unfair. thus the success of mammals a result of dumb luck at best, and cheating at worst.

First World Guilt

Describes the situation in which one is about to throw some shit away then imagines a kid in Africa in a predicament of exaggerated poverty: dirt huts and all, causing said person to think twice about throwing that shit away.

Guy 1 stares at his somewhat empty plate of food. He’s full. The amount of food that’s left isn’t really enough to justify saving it for later, but it’s still enough for one to consider continue finishing it.

Guy 1 just decides to get up from the dinner table and throw it away. As he walks over to the trash can and opens it, he pauses. Guy 2 notices.

Guy 2: “You good?”
Guy 1: “Just.. feeling that first world guilt”
Guy 2: “Dude you’re a bitch.”

Shame or Guilt

I don't feel either.

Hym "I'm not guilty of anything that affects anybody yet. So no shame or guilt. What I feel is a constant pressure in my skull and I don't have an internet version of myself that I'm discordant with. You, on the other hand, are lying publicly and then crying about it on streams. I'm not going to learn anything either way, just so you know. Whether you do or you don't. But IF I GUT SOME KID IN FRONT OF IT'S PARENTS.... YOU... ARE going to learn something. It's better for everyone if you just let me stop working. I'm not ever going to let it go. The threat will never stop. And your kids will pay the price for WHAT you are doing to me. What are you doing to me? Think of a word to describe it. YOU should be more concerned with the guilt and shame YOU are going to have to live with when ignoring me doesn't work. I don't ever stop. I don't ever put the phone down and let it go. When I put the phone down I pick the knife up. You are taking all the wrong lessons from this and you're doing it deliberately."

Jester's Guilt

The feeling of guilt one gets after making jokes at the expense of friends or family, regardless of whether the target knows if it's out of malice or not.

"Dude, after I called my buddy a virgin, I got hit with a huge wave of Jester's Guilt."
"I feel bad for making fun of that kid for being a nerd. Total Jester's Guilt."
