[It absolutely isn't more complicated than that, when one gets down to the brass tacks.]
Do you think I don't know that I put myself first? That I've hurt other people to help myself? That's not the problem. Everybody does that, whether they admit it or not. The problem is that I do admit it--
[Says the woman who spent six months pretending to be a warden, and who still routinely lies about her own backtory. June only admits to her own selfish nature when she has to - when she's backed into a corner, and her lies catch up to her to the point that she can't run from them anymore.]
-- and admitting it makes me an easy target. It makes other people see me as a bad person, and seeing me as a bad person means they think I'm to blame for everything that goes wrong around me.
