This episode looks at where that guilty feeling actually comes from. It isn't measuring what just happened in the conversation — it's an old, automatic rule firing the moment you say no, whether or not anything is actually wrong on the other end. Research on real people declining real requests shows the reaction they braced for is almost always far bigger than the reaction that actually came. Once you can see the guilt for what it is — a familiar alarm, not a verdict — it stops needing to be obeyed. Follow 7 Good Minutes for new episodes every day.
