Summary

Many people are overshadowed by a lurking sense of judgment… sometimes it is regret over a specific action; sometimes, people just can’t quite put their finger on it; it’s just this feeling that “I’m not good enough,” and “If people know the real me, they will reject me.” That’s our question: Is something wrong with me? And, if so, is that what keeps me from being happy?
