Architect’s Guilt

Very similar to Catholic Guilt in principle; but applied to emotionally driven architects who always feel the need to solve every problem, fall on every sword the project encounters, stay late at work and defer life and family events, and put work and worry first. The feeling of never working hard and king enough.
