When you are procrastinating, haven't shown enough affection to a loved one, haven't worked hard enough, etc.

No, it's sick - I never feel guilty.
Yes - honestly, it is, even though I know it's wrong.
only for masochist
depends on where the guilt stems from.

Absolutely, how else could you explain christianity? It's founding principle is: jesus died for your sins, better do what what he says. Motivated billions of people.

Guilt is ultimately a poor motivator because it is so corrosive to the spirit over time. A better motivator is love: you do something for self or other because you love yourself or another, and want the best for them. Works better over the long haul.
