Your Type
You digest guilt by speaking it out. Not necessarily apologizing to the person — maybe just telling a friend 'I did something recently and it's still bothering me.' Once it's said out loud, you can actually start letting go. Your emotions need air. Keeping them inside doesn't work for you.
