Disproportionate guilt, on the other hand, is irrational or misplaced. When you are experiencing negative feelings or guilt, you are not responsible and have no control over the situation. Suppose you get promoted, and your friend is suffering from some life crisis. You are happy for yourself and feeling bad for your friend. In this case, it is good to guilty about your happiness. Unhealthy guilt leads to various other problems like you cannot feel satisfied with yourself, feel depressed, thinking about others, and feeling disturbed in personal, social, and occupational life.
Please do not feel guilty about something that was not in your control, and you cannot take responsibility. To combat guilt, please try to look for positive things that help you stand by and make you grow in a good way.
