It's one of the things in life I really feel ashamed about. I was not very sensitive, and I hurt their feelings. I shouldn't have. They had done so much to make sure I could go there, but I just didn't want them around. I didn't want anyone to know I had parents.
In the book "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson, Jobs reflects on a moment of regret regarding his treatment of his parents. He acknowledges that he was insensitive and caused them emotional pain, despite the sacrifices they made for him. Jobs expresses shame about his behavior and recognizes that his actions were unjustifiable.
He admits to a desire for independence and a strong wish to distance himself from his family's influence, leading to a rejection of their support. This revelation highlights the complexity of Jobs' character and the internal conflicts he faced during his journey to success.
