If you asked the Winter Soldier why he didn’t deserve things and really made him think about it, he wouldn’t have a truly good answer to give you, because there wasn’t one. He would try to tell you that it was for the things he’d done, but upon pressing, even he would have to admit that he wasn’t at fault for his past. No, he didn’t believe he deserved things because for seventy years, he was treated as though he didn’t. And that makes such a difference. He knew there was something inherently wrong with him that kept him back from having things like love and personal happiness, but he couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was and at what time he started believing that. He supposed it was around the time he stopped believing himself to be a person.
