Is it normal to never feel remorse or guilt over things that i probably should?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Separating human beings from other animals is our ability to talk, laugh, cry and pass on knowledge to generations after us.Most people learn from an early age the difference between right and wrong through the example and care of their parents, school and sometimes religious teachings. If a person had an abusive, childhood he/she may have a harder time as an adult feeling remorse at wrong doing.
