I like this perspective and think it's easy to understand. I also like Dr. Laura Schlessinger's perspective on guilt. She says that guilt is applicable if you do something immoral or illegal. Simply feeling bad because you disappointed someone isn't guilt.

I never looked at guilt through this lens before - a lightbulb moment for me as a leader, especially as someone who struggles with self-doubt on a regular basis. The absorption of others feelings can pile onto that self-doubt even more. I will be looking up more of Dr. Becky's work. Thank you for sharing this great insight!
