## Description In this note I'll be writing about my experiences with *guilt* in relation to the [[Feelings Wheel]]. In the future I may write about the legal usage of *guilt*, but that's for another time. ## [[2023-12-12]] Yesterday, [[2023-12-11]] I felt *guilt* in two separate occasions. ### First Occasion I have been pretty good about locking the car doors. Honestly I can't remember when the last time I left the car unlocked was--maybe two months ago. Anyway we were having car trouble and her father and I tried to jump start my girlfriend's car yesterday morning and I forgot to lock the car door. When she came back from work she wanted to try jumping the car one more time and complained that I left the car unlocked again. Initially I brushed it off with an unemotional "I'm sorry", but I doubled back and allowed myself to feel the *guilt* of doing something I said I wouldn't have done. Despite feeling this *guilt*, I also comforted myself by recognizing that this only happened once in a while, and especially during an [[Out-of-the-Ordinary Event|out-of-the-ordinary event]]. ### Second Occasion The first occasion was when I was relaxing on the couch watching Grey's Anatomy with my girlfriend. She was working on our first year anniversary gift I gave her, a book nook in the shape of a greenhouse. I had my arm splayed out and resting on the couch cushion next to me where she occasionally sat. My girlfriend would often get off the couch to assemble another piece and sit back down. While she sat back down, she hit the back of her head on my forearm in two different occasions, both times saying "ow!", with the second time being louder than the first.
