I am irresistible yet unwanted.

I am without logic yet force restraint.

I am affliction yet often self-imposed.

I am without prejudice yet disliked.

I am discomfort yet badge of honour.

I am without body yet I inhabit.

I am inflamed yet not slandered.

I am without opinion yet I dictate.

I am often exaggerated yet serious.

I am without compassion yet I feel.

I am in the jury yet not on the court.

I am without action yet instep perjury.

WHAT AM I?
