What is Flawed?

A pervasive sense of not being as whole, good, or whole as others seem to be.

When you might feel flawed

Flawed is a specific form of i-am-bad, which itself is a type of worthlessness. You might experience this feeling in situations where worthlessness is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define flawed.
