I sometimes feel as though I betray my morals and am on a bad road, feeling like a kind of bitter or overly prideful person shamelessly doing the wrong things and not feeling open minded enough, and not caring about situations I really should care about, and caring too much about things that I really shouldn't have to care about whatsoever.

What sometimes sucks is not feeling guilt even though in my mind I know I did wrong, or feel wrong.

Does anyone know this feeling?

I've felt that way between 2007 and last September. I've felt that I betrayed my values for three years, until I got my life back on the right track.

I feel a lot of guilt but I think it is related to my condition (depression). I feel guilt of once teasing a student in my school who was very intelligent but also weird. But he teased me first!! :(

People can be their own worst critics.
Do not worry Wedge. :)

I did something that I don't feel proud of and I get confused about myself and think I'm being really harsh to people and just not a nice person in general.

Awareness is the first step towards doing something about it.

Sometimes I feel that way to some users on YouTube since I have to do it in order to maintain my "status" on there...

It sounds like you're saying you feel guilty for not feeling guilty. Isn't that about the same as just feeling guilty to start off with?
