Oh you poor thing! Frankly, JC, your feeling of tiresomeness is probably just defeat.

Karma said neurosis, dear.

Yes, people can feel guilty about all sorts of things they do, but develop neuroses from them? I don't think so. It's more likely that neuroses lead to acting out behavior.

guilt is mostly (completely?) the result of the expectations of other people
NOT the act itself
so you, actually, would be the cause of the guilt
not the act
you could probably make weak people feel guilty about all sorts of things
that doesn't make what you are making them feel guilty about wrong
it just makes you judgmental and effectively dictatorial
you know the treatment of a guilt complex is generally to help the "victim" overcome his feelings of guilt
rather than have him or her stop whatever he or she is doing that causes the guilt
but then psychologists and psychiatrists probably aren't as good as you are at knowing line by line exactly what everyone else "should" be doing, in order to be a "good" person doing the "right" things
