I feel that I have a lot of "inner snakes". I think about myself and how I'm not a good of a person as I should be or should have been. When I get confronted by someone for doing wrong, my mind goes into a whirl. My mind says things like: "yea, he's right. You don't do things well. You irritate people a whole lot", etc. But like one previous poster said, "we come down harder on ourselves because we didn't confront that person who had hurt us" (something like that). And a very big regret I have is that I had not lashed back and I felt like the other person deserved it. But we have to be careful of that, especially when being confronted for doing wrong.
