"有罪的人认为所有谈话都是关于他们的。"
— Geoffrey Chaucer
Simplified Meaning:
When someone feels guilty about something they've done, they often believe that others are talking about them, even when they aren't. This is because their own conscience makes them feel like they are always the center of attention when it comes to the bad act they committed. For example, if a person cheated on a test and feels bad about it, they might think that every time their friends discuss cheating or dishonesty, they are secretly being accused or judged. In reality, the friends might be talking about a completely unrelated topic. The guilt makes the person paranoid, creating unnecessary anxiety. To avoid this, it's important to address and resolve feelings of guilt, rather than letting them fester and affect one's perception of the world.
