Do you feel guilty after hurting someone emotionally?

Sometimes we tend to be driven more by emotion and less by brain. We express our disappointment to the responsible person and in return if that person expresses his/her grief (indirectly/directly) after some time we tend to think something about that. Sometimes we stay strong to our choice and sometimes we stay questioned to us...have I done anything wrong? So how does it feel to you , when you scold your junior in the office, when you apply restriction on your child, when you express your anger through loud voice to your partner, when you slam your neighbour for being disobedient......etc. Do you feel wrong for your action?

Depends on the person and what they did. If I make someone angry and I didn't intend to, I feel super terrible. But if it is someone who kind of deserved it, I might feel a little remorse but if they were being a total just...ick person, nah I feel good.

@prakashj256 Well people need to feel humility. If I am being a jerk, I want someone to tell me. I won't like it, but it will let me think and change my ways.

@DesirousDreamer yes, this approach will truly make a person think if his/her close persons act with him/her in a disheartening way.

Yes, when I say something that hurts someone, my conscience will give me a hard time.

Sometimes I also think in a lonely place when I do this kind of action.

It depends on various situations. If it is at work, I tend to be firm in giving comments or suggestions. It is a part of work. I can conceal my feelings towards others, but if it is out of control, then that's the time I need to say about certain concerns.

@prakashj256 I personally think that some people forget the word 'professionalism.'

Yeah I feel guilty when I do something wrong to others or if I hurt someone. I will try my best to mix it up. Making apology to him or her is always my first choice, or I will feel guilty all the time.It's untolerable.

Nice caring heart, Seems like you won't feel complete unless they feel good about you. Great to know that you are sensitive to other's emotions.

@Courage7 Nope..who is that someone? by whom you are very hurtful? To whom you are hurting back? Sorry for my questions but I am clueless about your comment. If the questions are personal to you then you are not required to answer it.

@prakashj256 I have someone here with me that is very hurtful every day to me. So I do the same back and I no longer feel guilty about it. I used to feel so, but not anymore, does that help to understand?

If the person deserves it, no.
If my actions were uncalled for, yes... but just a bit!

Nice..greeting a person with smile after hurting their emotions works beautifully. They may start to feel good for themselves.

It's painful to be emotionally hurt. You have picked a nice way to eliminate this odd trouble. But do you think it will always be good?

Sometimes I think I could have handled a situation better or differently. Not sure about emotionally hurting someone since it can go both ways. But I think if we are all well adjusted individuals, feeling remorse is a natural instinct.

Nice..that's the real beauty. We should always have control over our anger so thar it doesn't take a toll on other person.

I am human so of course I feel guilty when I hurt someone. I think I am more hurt when I hurt somebody rather than the person I have hurt.
