Do you feel guilty when you make a mistake?

    Yes, very much so. I have overwhelming guilt and sadness. Even if it is something simple, I still apologize and try to do everything I can to make up for it. The person that was affected by my mistake will be telling me, "It is ok, it is ok, don't worry about, stop apologizing.", but I continue. Then that makes me feel guilty, because I feel like I made them mad and ruined their day. I suck!

    Yes and no. We all make mistakes, sometimes it is just a slight error at work that we just fix and nothing is harmed.

    I would feel more guilt if I did not admit my mistake, or make it right.

    So anytime I have said something, or done something without thinking, which I try not to do, I am the first to apologize and correct the error.

    No. I don't. Mistakes worry me some though, but they don't make me feel guilty. They just make me feel nervous.

    Depends on the mistake but I would feel bad if nothing else.

    not about every mistake. WE are not created to be perfect, so mistakes will happen. BUT, there are some mistakes that cause guilt...

    Terribly, especially if I hurt people on such mistakes.
