Emotions & feelings
bring yourself to do something
be unable to do something emotionally
If you cannot bring yourself to do something, you are unable to do it because it feels too painful or wrong.
Hear it in real life
Have you told him the truth yet?
No, I can't bring myself to do it.
I can't bring myself to delete the photos from our old trip.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I can't bring myself into throwing them away.
Say: I can't bring myself to throw them away.
The fixed expression uses "bring yourself to" before the action, not "bring yourself into".
