In your experience, what is one big stumbling block to self-forgiveness?

I have found that some people reach the incorrect conclusion that self-forgiveness is impossible because they cannot forgive their own sins.  Yet, when you self-forgive, you are not forgiving your sins.  Instead, you are striving to rekindle a sense of your own self-worth, having compassion on yourself for what you did.  It is similar to forgiving other people.  You do not forgive their sins when you forgive, but instead are responding to them with mercy, as worthwhile people in spite of the unjust behavior.
