Guilt. Love. Religion.
headcanon prompt meme / accepting.
Guilt. You could bury Wanda in the guilt she feels. She doesn't let herself feel remorse (for if she starts, how could she ever end it?), but she's quite capable of identifying the things she's guilty of, to the point of approaching it with a cold sort of rationality that's not healthy in the slightest. She's driven by emotion; at its most negative, it's by the rage, resentment and vengefulness she possesses in spades. When led by that, she has no regard for anything or anyone in her way - or the collateral damage the unleashing of those emotions causes. After Ultron, she's moved past the blind pursuits of her goal. Or at least, she hopes and strives to be better than she was.
Love. Wanda has more experience with platonic love than romantic love. Most of her experiences with romantic love stem from her teenage years, where she had two shortlived relationships that were based more on sexual attraction and the crushes she had at that point than anything suited to a durable relationship. She feels sexual attraction easier than romantic attraction, and in general, she's not actively looking for either.
Religion. Wanda is not explicitly religious, though she has been raised with some aspects of both Eastern Orthodoxy and Judaism, due to her adoptive mother and father respectively. Unbeknownst to her, this mirrors her birth parents' faith; her birth mother was also Eastern Orthodox, and her birth father was an ethnic and religious Jew.
Faith is not a big part of her personal life. It wasn't when her parents were still alive, and after their deaths, it was not something she could afford to spend time on. In the present, she does struggle with finding meaning when it comes to her abilities and her life. As such, she's been reading more about various religions and theological debates, but it takes a backseat to other subjects she finds more important.
