Something really stupid just happened to me and right now I am feeling so guilty due to quite little that I feel the need to share it to get it off my chest. I went to a tango evening and had an amazing time. Came home short before three (didn't drink anything) and realized I had forgotten the keys. I had to ring the doorbell which means I had to wake up my flatmates who do shift work and need to get up at 4:30. I explained I had forgotten the keys and they opened but didn't even say hello. They are so pissed on me right now. I am kind of the chaos queen in this house anyway. Never happened to me before though. Left them a letter in the kitchen saying I was sorry and it won't happen again but still I feel awful. I think I should be feeling less awful though, even though obviously it is a reason to be pissed. But I feel like I am a bad person -.-

That fact that you care shows you are considerate and definitely not a bad person, and the fact that no one said "Hello!" at the door does not mean people are holding grudges. You had been active and having a good time and the others had been sleeping and were likely just wanting to get back to bed rather than engaging in any conversation.

Try not to beat yourself up....your not the first person to have locked themselves out, your human, we all make mistakes

You are not a bad person. You said you were sorry when it happened. It was the first time. You even left a note, nice touch and sign of a good roommate. Stuff happens. Next month one of them will forget their keys. I think you should feel less awful too. You are not a bad person.

Does such a strong reaction happen often (causing uncertainty, guilt, shame and (impulsive/excessive) behaviour to get reassurance it's not a (as big a) problem (as you make it out to be)); is it in any way an impediment?

If not then it doesn't matter. If so, you might want to talk about it with a/your therapist or psychiatrist. Preferably a therapist.
