Emotions & feelings
can't live with yourself
feel unable to forgive yourself
To feel so guilty about something that you cannot forgive yourself.
Hear it in real life
Why did you go back and tell the truth?
I couldn't live with myself if I stayed quiet.
I would not be able to live with myself if I let my friend take the blame.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I can't live by myself for forgetting her birthday.
Say: I can't live with myself for forgetting her birthday.
Use 'with yourself' for guilt, not 'by yourself,' which means alone.
