Almost everyone is familiar with the feeling of guilt: it is a normal emotion for those who have made a mistake or made the wrong choice.
However, you should not always give in to negative emotions, as this can lead to very unpleasant consequences.
Why is guilt dangerous?
This is an unproductive emotion.
If you just start torturing yourself for your mistakes, then no one will feel better. Having a feeling of guilt does not affect the situation itself.
Despite the fact that you will noticeably spoil your mood, this will not have any positive effects on real life, experts note.
Self-esteem
Once a person begins to actively “study” their shortcomings, this may not have the best effect on their self-esteem.
At such moments, everything begins to seem more global than it actually is.
Therefore, you should not give in to such desires.
Depression
Another consequence of guilt is depression. Getting out of this state afterwards can be quite difficult. Therefore, it is worth realizing all the existing risks.
Instead of tormenting yourself with guilt, it is better to draw conclusions and start positive changes. Working on yourself and self-improvement will be the best alternative.
