Do you experience moral sensations? e.g. experiencing the "that is moral/immoral" frame in response to various actions

I used to experience those sensations while “young” in my 20’s, and at 42 I’m pretty comfortable with myself and how I donduct myself. I don’t veer away from my established norms much these days.

The spectrum for moral sensation is Righteousness/Pride contrasted with Guilt/Self-Loathing, for me.

I used to much more strongly. I think a desire for "harmony" and a strong tendency to be diplomatic have largely subdued that emotional reaction, although it's still there. I have probably done healthier things to myself

Voted sometimes but here's why: I do when thinking about doing something immoral almost always, but never for anything moral.

So, I’m not sure? Can anybody clarify what that feels like compared to *other* reactions (eg disgust)?

I voted yes, but I think "moral sensations" are a loose category of emotions, beliefs, motivations, and intentions so I don't know how good a label that is.
