Well, maybe it just suggests that the person has a well developed conscience. Guilt was put in mankind for a purpose, to let us know when we have done something worthy of regret. Of course those of us with OCD have a biochemical problem with the whole anxiety/guilt system. I don't actually consider it a character flaw. After all that's what this site is here for.
Not that I am in any way implying that anyone on this board considers OCD to be a character flaw.
