Without deception or malice, maybe your conscience is blowing stuff out of proportion then? When I originally read your post, I imagined a fleeting impulse for cheating or stealing.
Impulsiveness is one of the last things that one would describe me as.
And yes

my conscience has been blown to proportions but the question is why is it?

It's really stupid. Initiating acts of compassion makes me guilty. Apathy makes me a bit guilty (just way less than the former). Malice just has the worst kind of effect.
Even if logic dictates it's necessary or appropriate, even something I could empathize that is the right thing to do, it just screams and holds me back from initiating or making a choice out of it.
I've been ranting about this for... Who knows how long

it's just got worse.
