I've decided other people's guilt is their problem.
For example, I don't cuss much. It's not a moral issue so much as I just don't; I am not in the habit, nor do I care to be. In person, such as at a work place, people around me will note that I do not cuss much, & then they will alter their own speech, cussing less. I never made that request nor did I indicate their cussing bothered me in anyway. I'm simply being who I am, and they've decided to assign moral significance to it, take it upon themselves to feel "bad", and then adjust their behavior to follow my "example" so they can feel "good"; but then they resent me for this supposed "guilt" & "higher standard" that they had to make changes to meet. To me, my behavior is triggering standards from their own conscience, not pushing my standards on them. That's what my heavy uses of quotes here is indicating: this is their view of the situation.
I am not going to lower my standards or alter my behavior that is "good" to make someone else feel better about themselves. And I don't say this in relation to the cussing example (as I don't see it as some big moral issue), but just in general. Their guilt is their problem.
EDIT: A flipside of this is that people sometimes make me feel like I am too serious or uptight for caring & thinking about certain things & making an effort in regards to them. They are too cool to care, too focused on fun to think deeply, and my caring & thinking just makes me a nerd. I too feel a sense of shame, more along the lines of sheepishness than guilt though. But that's my feeling & my problem. I'm overvaluing their viewpoint, as if "cool" matters more, or I'm assuming they are placing judgment when they are not.
