    I would love to understand the psychology behind this feeling.

    In my case I think it was being raised by an ex-Catholic. Whole lotta undeserved guilt trips in my household growing up!

      Raised catholic here too, maybe catholic guilt but personally I think it’s more so the pervading idea that people implicitly aren’t allowed to exist in a space outside the home or offices unless they spend money and by walking out without buying anything bypasses the normal routine of going to a store to get something and going through some kind of checkout process.
