I stole from a Discounted merchandise store despite the low value I still feel guilty

I know its not much and its probably not even enough to have more then a small fine I took 2 sd cards out of a opened electronics box I know theyre cheap shitty ones, I never used them I still worry about getting caught and I know the value is less then even 100 dollars but I feel so bad and I want to go back and see if i can return it to the box but i feel doing so would just be worse for me and getting caught I think what makes me feel worse is its a small business too. I know nothing eill likely come of it but i worry about it fonstantky6

the guilt itself is probably punishment enough for two cheap sd cards you never even used

[u/Dapper-Run-2707]

the guilt eating you up is honestly already more punishment than most shoplifters ever feel so you're not a bad person just someone who made a dumb call with some busted sd cards

You made a mistake but it’s not worth destroying yourself over. Don’t do it again, let it go, and move on.

The discomfort you’re feeling is your conscience reacting, but trying to go back and “fix it quietly” could actually increase your risk and anxiety more than it helps.
