Guilt is knowing you F'd up.
Shame is knowing that other people believe, or at least they perceive, that you F'd up (you can personally believe you didn't).
Remorse is wanting to make whatever you F'd up, right again.
Regret is when you can't make what you F'd up, right - no matter how much you want to.
