"Guilty Conscience" is a psychological state where an individual feels remorse or regret for their actions, particularly if those actions conflict with their moral values. This feeling often arises after making a decision that leads to harm or wrongdoing, prompting self-reflection and emotional distress. In popular culture, the term is often associated with the song "Guilty Conscience" by Eminem featuring Dr. Dre. The song explores themes of morality and the internal struggle between right and wrong, illustrating how a guilty conscience can influence behavior and decision-making.
