The Guilts

This is one of the worst feelings in the world and it arises for no reason whatsoever. It can be described as a powerful feeling of regret and anxiety all in one. The guilts often occur the night after excessive drinking or if you get insulted by stupid people about doing something that seems stupid at the time.

Conor: "Aw boy, got a complete dose of the guilts from last night";

Emmet: "Why, were you drinking much?";

Conor: "Na not even, had a bad dream about stealing money so I could get home and I'm absolutely riddled with them (the guilts)"

The guilty conscience

The guilty conscience is performed when a man has sex with a woman whom he immediately regrets having sex with, and accidentally ejaculates on his own clothing. Later in the night he notices his soiled clothing and the stain acts at his "guilty conscience", reminding him of his inexcusable acts.

Bro: "Dude, I heard you fucked Shaps last night!?"

Buzz: "Yeah.... and to make it even worse I had "The guilty conscience" on my shirt when I went to the bar after."

Bro: Dudeeeeeeeee.

The Guilt is in the Closet Syndrome

When you buy an article of clothing that, at the time, you "must have" and then end up hanging it up in your closet with the tags still on it and never wearing it. This then results in whenever you look in your closet you feel guilty when you spot that piece of clothing, but yet you still don't want to wear it. One may feel guilt for a number of reasons anything from feeling as if you wasted your money on something you never wear to feeling like you have so much clothes and yet still feel like there is nothing to wear!

Mom-Honey, get dressed it is almost time for school.
Daughter-Mom I can't...
Mom-Look, it isn't that hard all you gotta do is open up you closet door and-
Daughter-No I really CAN'T!
Mom-Why not!?
Daughter-Because...I have the guilt is in the closet syndrome.
Mom-Ooh...I knew you'd never wear that shirt!

Theory of the Social Construction of Innocence and Guilt

A legal‑sociological theory arguing that innocence and guilt are not simple facts but socially constructed categories produced through legal procedures, storytelling, evidence rules, and jury dynamics. Two people who committed identical acts may be judged innocent or guilty based on their social status, the quality of their lawyer, the narrative they can afford, or the biases of the court. The theory shows that the legal process does not simply discover guilt or innocence; it actively constructs them through rules of evidence, plea bargaining, and courtroom performance. It challenges the myth that the legal system merely mirrors reality.

Example: “The theory of the social construction of innocence and guilt explained how a wealthy defendant could walk free on a technicality while a poor defendant with the same evidence was convicted: the legal process constructed two different verdicts from the same underlying actions.”
