I personally assume that both selfish-evil impulses and stressful neurotic thoughts are sometimes shoved out of our awareness and into our unconscious where they still have influence. Regardless of whether our basic nature is good or evil, it is obvious that many cognitive processes occur without our awareness , e.g. our unique perception of the situation, our specific memories brought to mind by the circumstances, our idiosyncratic explanation of events and feelings about them, etc. So, in any case, it isn't surprising that people resist looking into their unconscious . Surely, it is a little scary, even though you are curious. Freud thought people in the Victorian era were very afraid of and repulsed by his ideas, such as the sexual interests of children.
Many people resist getting to know their true selves.
There is even a prejudice against people who have been in psychotherapy. But most therapists are insightful. If you want to know more about psychotherapy , try this site by Dr. Bennett Pologe. I have never seen a patient, the germs of whose disease I could not find in myself. This is humbling and maybe scary.
