I have many diagnoses attached to my name and I'd like to lose them but they aren't those type of diagnoses. I also have many life experiences in my history, which I would rather forget. When I'm feeling especially vulnerable and over-whelmed, I'd like to lie about those things, which much like your first friend wouldn't affect anyone but me, myself and I. In the end, I don't because what would be the point? The diagnoses would remain and the experiences are still mine, whether I want to acknowledge them today or not.Lizzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817503430183497754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122892979491609195.post-37574932246110646492012-11-26T06:39:40.076-08:002012-11-26T06:39:40.076-08:00I think for some people, it's really hard to b...I think for some people, it's really hard to be content with who they are and where they are, regardless of how much control they have over the situation. But some of us deal better with that than others. And some deal with it by lying. Small lies, big lies... <br /><br />I grew up doing a lot of lying. My mother was (and still is) a horrible liar so it never occurred to me that it was wrong. If I thought I could get away with it and it made me more interesting (classic narcissist), then that was ok! It took awhile for me to learn that those lies have consequences. She still hasn't learned. <br /><br />Anyways, interesting post. As always. I've been busy and haven't visited in awhile and picked a handful of 6WS entries at random today. I'm glad yours was one of them.Call Me Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144735845209334875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122892979491609195.post-26575355567531493892012-11-24T23:11:35.239-08:002012-11-24T23:11:35.239-08:00To lie or not to lie...that was their choice, and ...To lie or not to lie...that was their choice, and now they must live with their answer, so sad.21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122892979491609195.post-38967653007169818762012-11-24T16:01:34.168-08:002012-11-24T16:01:34.168-08:00Excellent article led by those few words!
I am am...Excellent article led by those few words!<br /><br />I am amazed that you, too, know someone who lied about his service to his country. For years I believed my (ex)husband and made myself understand his "horrors" that cried out on military holidays. What a fool I was to be blinded by love and lies! <br /><br />Ruth Cox aka abitosunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670570644577223420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122892979491609195.post-34484321249820255052012-11-24T10:15:15.612-08:002012-11-24T10:15:15.612-08:00Best policy is to keep your pants as cool as possi...Best policy is to keep your pants as cool as possible.Ron.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17003968251465131521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122892979491609195.post-80150610961796584342012-11-24T08:48:05.862-08:002012-11-24T08:48:05.862-08:00That is a sad story...and I think you have the rig...That is a sad story...and I think you have the right perspective!<br /><br />Happy Saturday!<br /><br />LindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17751356958497450109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122892979491609195.post-88116360753483612842012-11-24T08:09:32.556-08:002012-11-24T08:09:32.556-08:00I think there are those that lie to make themselve...I think there are those that lie to make themselves seem better than they are...and those who lie because they are ashamed of who they are....
