“The guilty think all talk is of themselves”

Simplified Meaning:

When someone feels guilty about something they've done wrong, they often worry that others are talking about them. It's like having a secret that you're scared people will discover. Imagine you broke your friend's toy and didn't tell them. Then, when you're with a group of friends and they start talking about broken toys, you might think they're talking about you and the toy you broke, even if they aren't. This kind of thinking can make you very paranoid and stressed out because you constantly feel like you're being judged. It's like having a spotlight on you all the time, making it hard to relax. When you know deep inside that you did something wrong, it can make you see connections where there are none. To avoid feeling this way, it's best to be honest and face your mistakes. If you tell your friend about the toy, you can solve the problem together, and you won't worry so much about what people are saying. Owning up to mistakes helps clear your mind and improve your relationships.
