Is guilt a learned emotion? Does it serve a purpose? Is it unnecessary? How does it root itself? How do you overcome guilt? Why do some people feel more guilty than others?

i don't need all these questions answered they are just some that came to my mind. I'm am an extremely guilt conscious person and the only way to relieve it is to confess, which can be a rather selfish act.
