If people got to know the real me, they'd be disgusted and horrified. I secretly feel like I'm inadequate as a person. I'm ashamed of the bad things I've said and done in the past. I'm careful not to let others find out about my weaknesses. When someone harms me, I feel it's OK to harm them back.
Most people are guilty of bad behaviour.
I know people who deserve to be punished for the things they've said or done. I could not bear to face my imperfections. I'm terrified of learning too much about my character flaws. I'm reluctant to look too deeply into myself in fear of what I might find. I have shameful secrets buried deep inside me.
