A more self-reflective version of "The Reason You Suck" Speech, where the character themself admits why they suck. This is usually a big dramatic moment in the third act to show that the character has become more aware of their flaws. It also, naturally, can be the response to a "The Reason You Suck" speech, with the character agreeing with their critic, but making an argument that they have or will get better. Alternatively, it can be an unhealthy expression of irrational self-hatred and self-blame that serves as a major character flaw. Often follows a My God, What Have I Done? moment. Can be a sign of Heroic Self-Deprecation. Can be responded to with You Are Better Than You Think You Are. Potentially leads to a Rousing Speech. Compare Heartfelt Apology, It's All My Fault, Jerkass Realization, I Am What I Am, I Hate Past Me. If a character consistently discusses their own faults, it becomes Chronic Self-Deprecation or Apologises a Lot. An absolute extreme example can become I Am a Monster. |

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: In the episode "Spock Amok", Admiral April and Captain Pike spend all episodes trying to convince the Rangovians to join the Federation of Planets with middling to negative results. Later, when Pike realizes that the Rangovians are looking for someone who understands their apprehensions of the Federation, he delivers a speech on why they shouldn't join the Federation, including the fact that the Federation doesn't really respect the cultures of its member planets, is only looking for resources, just finished a major war, and is powerful enough to have equally powerful enemies that the Rangovians would have to agree to fight. Later, the Rangovians agree to join since Pike was able to demonstrate that the Federation genuinely understood and were sympathetic to the risk that the Rangovians were taking. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: When Shinji is being carted away, he says that he, not Toji, was the one who deserved to be hit because he was cowardly, sneaky, and dishonest. Wanting to rise above these frailties is precisely why he returns to active duty as an Eva pilot. Like son, like father. In The Movie, Gendou says that in the end, all he was able to do was hurt Shinji. He doesn't seem to fight it when Eva Unit 01 bites his head off. |

The Amazing Spider-Man (1963): In a very early issue, J. Jonah Jameson admits to himself that for all of his wealth and self-serving works, Spider-Man is a real hero, risking his life without asking for reward. And if Spider-Man is a hero, then Jameson's work is just hollow and false. And so all that he can do is try to tear Spidey down because heaven help him, he's jealous of him. | |

The Twilight Zone (2019): In "The Comedian," Samir seems ready to deliver a scathing speech to his estranged girlfriend in his latest stand-up set...only to turn around and make the set about himself and what a horrible, self-serving person he is. Since Samir made a Deal with the Devil that results in anyone he tells jokes about being eradicated from existence, this also counts as a Heroic Sacrifice and Redemption Equals Death moment, as his self-deprecation hits a cosmic Reset Button and brings back all of the people that he previously destroyed. | |

Red Dwarf: In the episode "The Inquisitor", the titular character travels the multiverse to judge whether people have lived worthy lives and erases those who haven't. When it comes to judging Rimmer, he rejects every lame attempt that Rimmer comes up with to justify being such a failure and a poor excuse of a human being in general, especially since the Inquisitor takes on the identity of the person being judged and can therefore spot any lie. Eventually, Rimmer gives up and does some genuine self-reflection (albeit still incredibly self-pitying), which the Inquisitor accepts as a valid defense. | |

Sword Art Online Abridged: In Episode 17, after a failed attempt at storming the World Tree to rescue Asuna, Kirito gives this kind of speech to himself as he's dying, reflecting how far he has fallen from his SAO days, feeling disgust that he's feeling nostalgic for a VR game he and several other players were trapped in against their will and forced to fight for their lives and then realizing that he really just misses the friends he made while there (while also lamenting that his skill at video games was practically the only thing that allowed him a good social standing during that time). | |

The Dragon Prince Viren delivers a scathing one to himself. While trying to decipher the mystery of the mirror, Viren uses a True Sight spell that will "strip away all illusions" and allow him to see the truth. He looks in the mirror and only sees his reflection, leading him to rant that the mirror is powerless and useless and that he thought it would be something important. The whole time he is pointing at himself (his reflection), showing how Viren really views himself: as nothing special or powerful. When the reactionary elf prince Karim tries to get the former dragon king Sol Regem to retake his throne, the disgraced archdragon gives a bitterly sarcastic boast about his numerous flaws to show Karim how far past his prime he's gotten and now won't make for a good ruler. |

My-HiME: Subtle. Haruka says that relationships between women are disgusting, then tells Shizuru that she and Natsuki are filthy for it. Shizuru slaps Haruka, then sets the record straight, "What happened was something that I did to her. I will not allow you to insult Natsuki." Then, when she realizes that Natsuki overheard everything, she tells her, "I never wanted you to find out about it, this wicked love that cannot be returned." | |

The Sun Will Come Up And The Seasons Will Change: After the grueling events of chapter 20, Mary blames herself for being unable to save Blanca when it mattered most, and Vic's attempts to console her don't help because she's gone over the Despair Event Horizon. Mary is so overcome with guilt and self-loathing that she goes into a rant about how everyone around her would be better off if she were either born not autistic or if she just never existed at all, and that everything her mother and Nora say about her is true even with evidence proving otherwise, which results in her number shooting up. | |

Twisted Sister: An Extended Ending: In the final chapter, Blossom breaks down in Inelegant Blubbering and vents about how she feels irresponsible and unfit as a leader, as she blames herself for Bunny's death (and feels especially horrible for the fact that the final thing she said to Bunny was that she was unfit to be a Powerpuff Girl). However, Professor Utonium and her sisters tell her that she may have made mistakes, but that doesn't make her a bad person. | |

In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd loses his sanity over the time-skip as a result of finding out who he thinks caused the Tragedy of Duscur, hearing the voices of those who died on that day, and being exiled from his own kingdom and forced to live among the slums. All he ended up thinking about was revenge against who he thinks is the culprit and so killed any soldiers of the enemy faction he came across on his way to enact it. He is fully aware of what he's doing, as he frequently refers to himself as a monster, which makes him think he isn't worthy of being redeemed. | |

Housepets!: When Fido and Sabrina are outed as partners in a very taboo Interspecies Romance, Fido loses his fellow dogs' support, and even his best friend Fox stops talking to him for a while. Later, Fox needs Sabrina's help in protecting Sasha but she isn't too keen on helping the guy who pretty much threw her boyfriend under the bus. Since it had already been a stressful day for Fox, to say the least, he snaps and finally admits that he never learned to properly express his feelings, leading to him making poor life choices, ruining relationships, and not knowing how to fix any of it. While Keene Milton has a noble goal of equality between humans and animals, he is also unscrupulous, egotistical, and excellent at making enemies, even among the animals he's trying to help. The final chapters of "Temple Crashers 2" are basically one long Break the Haughty for him, as he sees just how much his well-intentioned extremism is driving away the people he loves, like Breel, and also endangering the entire world. When the day is saved, Keene holds a public speech declaring he's stepping down as the leader of his organization and fully owes up to how misguided he was. Despite being the supposed Only Sane Woman in the cast and a knowledgeable practitioner of Magic(k), Tarot has been outstaged more than once by other heroes saving the day in her stead. This has given her feelings of inadequacy, not helped by the sense of responsibility she got from having been an avatar for a celestial being. When demons from Pandemonium threaten the world and Kitsune refuses Tarot's help, she loses all stoicism and has a full-on breakdown. |

Friends: Played with. After Joey found out Chandler and Monica were secretly sleeping together, he kept getting roped into covering for them, which resulted in him being forced to say things like "I'm Joey. I'm disgusting. I take my underwear off in other people's homes." and "I'm Joey. I'm disgusting. I bring women home to make amateur porn in my living room." Eventually Joey got frustrated and "admitted" that he had sex with Monica. Despite giving no thought to this new lie, it actually did manage to explain everything and resulted in Monica being forced to say "I'm Monica. I'm disgusting. I stalk guys and hide their underpants." | |

Talk Radio: Subverted. Barry Champlain is the consummate Shock Jock, obsessed with finding success by exposing America's paranoid underbelly on his talk radio show. By the end, he seems to finally crack under the strain and starts being honest about his own flaws on air... until he actually launches into a scathing monologue on his contempt for his audience and their shortcomings instead. | |
