Guilt?

Does anyone know why it's so awkward? Not just I general but on buses and trains especially. Crowded ones. 


You and an other able-bodied person are sitting on a seat because it's crowded. And let's say a pregnant woman comes along. You don't see the woman but the other able- bodied person does and graciously gives up their seat. I was totally in that situation recently and I felt guilty because I was too busy playing with my iPhone to notice someone who needed the seat! Is that wrong? 


Is it wrong that I thought that I was wrong for not being someone who did the good thing first? Okay now that I have it typed out it seems kinda silly, but not at the moment! 


Especially as a Christian trying to do the whole gospel thing. Why do I think being socially awkward is a sin? I'm supposed to be courageous and joyful and daring for Jesus, but God still uses awkward people and situations.


I think Guilt is a much bigger deal some times than vaguely missed opportunities
