An interesting observation about worming

In my old life, I often tried to worm myself out of taking responsibility for different things. What I’ve noticed on several occasions, is that I still feel like this is what I’m doing, even when I’m giving an entirely honest explanation. I end up feeling guilty, before I take a step back and realize that, wait a minute. That’s actually exactly what happened and/or my motives were exactly what I said that they were.
