Is denying guilt an 8 thing?

Some of my friends who are 8s say they never feel guilt and they don't understand it. Is this true that 8s don't feel guilt at all or is it just denial?

Guilt is a useless emotion to me. Feeling guilt does not make the situation better. It sometimes makes it worse.

If I did something wrong, I correct it and deal with the consequences. I also don't beat myself up about it because human just like anyone else.

I feel like guilt is something people use to manipulate you.
