Yes we definitely want to avoid using the word “guilt” as that’s telling and you want to show. The emotion thesaurus book is much more complete than what you see here – there are 2 pages of cues to describe guilt s o you’ll find lots of help there. If it’s out of your budget right now, see if your library has it as many do. Good luck and happy writing!

I get stuck often trying not to repeat the same line, “Guilt flooded through me,” or “I felt guilty,” or “Guilt ties my stomach/lungs in knots”.

Are there any other ways I could phrase it if I can’t find a way to physically express the emotions like picking nails or averting eyes?

What do you think of:
Trouble Sleeping
Repetitive behavior

There’s also something…something elusive about guilt… what is it -when a teacher in a room with 30 odd younger children can state the crime and the guilt it THERE played out on the face of the kid(s).

Sometimes you can read it on someone’s face (esp. the young kids). But this post made me wonder…what is it? Skin blanching, pupils dilating, frozen type of face?
