If it really was unintentional it's called feeling of responsibility. If it was actually intentional it's called delusional.lisab said:The feeling that you've hurt someone unintentionally...is there a name for that?

One effective way to manage difficult emotions is to acknowledge and accept them, rather than trying to ignore or suppress them. This can involve identifying the root cause of the emotion and finding healthy ways to cope, such as talking to a trusted friend or therapist, practicing mindfulness or relaxation techniques, or engaging in a physical activity.
Some common difficult emotions include anger, fear, sadness, guilt, and shame. These emotions are a normal part of the human experience, and it is important to recognize and address them in a healthy way rather than trying to avoid or ignore them.
One way to prevent difficult emotions from negatively affecting your relationships is to communicate openly and honestly with the people in your life. This can involve expressing your feelings in a calm and respectful manner, setting boundaries, and actively listening to others.
Yes, seeking professional help is a valid and important option for dealing with difficult emotions. A therapist or counselor can provide support, guidance, and tools for managing difficult emotions in a healthy way.
One of the best ways to support a loved one who is struggling with difficult emotions is to offer a listening ear and a non-judgmental attitude. Encourage them to seek professional help if needed and remind them that it is okay to feel their emotions and that you are there to support them.
