Guilty of points directly to the act or offense that someone committed. It answers the question of what someone did wrong, whether in a court of law or in everyday life. In contrast, feeling guilty focuses on the speaker's emotional state. The prepositions about and for attach that emotional ache to a specific situation, decision, or action.
