Why Guilt Often Backfires
When we act from guilt, our motivation is to make ourselves look or feel better, not necessarily serve or benefit the other. Because we are not trying to give but trying to get something from the other, they experience us as predatory or manipulative. They will react by withdrawing their approval or complain and demand more. In either case, our attempts will backfire.
