Talk:Survivor guilt

message: Is there a term for when you wish that instead you died instead of someone else, you wish that someone else had died instead of that person?
:Anger that someone has died rather than some other person felt to be less worthy of survival or more worthy of death isn't odd. It's not exactly survivor guilt, though. It's anger, which is one of the stages of mourning. Survivor guilt is basically that anger turned inward.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.100.201.160 (talk) 06:22, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

THey are the exact same thing, and they would benefit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by  Dcollins52  (talk • contribs) 19:44, 23 December 2008.
;discussion ported from Talk:survivor syndrome:which no one put together since the tags were hung without a common link page...

Wait.. where has a merge been suggested? I don't see it. 99.230.152.143 (talk) 18:15, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge them 

message: It's a common shounen trope to use this to make heroes more sympathetic (or in fan terms, one of the defining characteristics of a 'woobie.') If no one is going to add ALL examples, or if no one is going to describe Naruto's inclusion in-depth to show how it is a concrete example, then I feel it serves no purpose and this mention should be removed. (It is also rarely explored to the depth necessary to categorize it as survivor's guilt in much of the medium. I am willing to bet for such a popular and low-brow series, they have not done so here either. I vote it be taken off.)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.131.15.108 (talk) 06:19, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

message: It's huge and largely unsourced. It seems like people are just adding instances of where they think survivor's guilt applies to a TV show or movie they saw. Even if they're right, it should be sourced. MechaChrist (talk) 01:58, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Very elucidating. An example by Tvardovsky, in his poem “I know, that's not my guilt” (1966, the subject is the WW2): a loose, but word-by-word translation — "I know, that's not my guilt / that the others had not come from war, / that they — some older, some younger — / remained there; and, after all, the whole point is not that / I might, but could not save them; / the point is not that, but still, but still, but still…” Widely known in Russia.

message: "when a person believes they have done something wrong by surviving a traumatic event when others did not, often feeling self-guilt."
Does anyone ever feel any other kind of guilt?

thread_title:  Self-guilt 

message: Recall the feeling of loneliness when that happens?  When you get in a survivor-guilt situation, you do know "where everyone went"; they are dead, while you continue to live. Carlm0404 (talk) 09:52, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
