Shame or Guilt

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."

guilt-control

When someone, or some party, attempts to use the concept of guilt (not necessarily actual guilt) in order to manipulate a person or people, into doing something that would be against their best interest. It's a tactic of manipulation that does not require actual guilt, just the presumption of guilt. Usage of the term asserts against the rhetorical trap of implied guilt, by summarily denying the implied guilt and exposing the guilt as an intended form of control.
party a: 10 years ago you got into that accident, and I know you say it wasn't your fault, but it's probably in our best interest if we never let you drive again.
party b: Your attempts at guilt-control are obvious, so please stop.

Guilt Tripping

Making someone for felling guilty for not doing something
Guy 1: "Guys I miss Izzie"
Guy 2: "What happened to Izzie?"
Guy 1: "Nothing i just miss her because she always has plans with her boyfriend"
That's guilt tripping (I didn't know how to include the word)
