Depression Realizations
Did anyone ever, or still, make up stories in social situations [with friends/strangers/family] to make yourself sound...better? Cooler/more involved/accepted?
I realized while reading a Webtoon comic yesterday when a character admitted to doing sinilar things to make herself seem more happy/active, that I have done and do the same thing.
Why is it so hard sometimes to say the truth?
Sometimes I think it's because we don't want to face it. And other times I always wonder --- if i were to ask/tell people how I really felt then would they even still want to be around me because everything is so negative?
@PinkVampires
Hey these are really great questions and I am glad you decided to share your thoughts about it with us. I dont remember making fake stories but I sure do hide truth sometimes to avoid more questions that might come up from telling the truth. I agree that at times, we dont want to face it and the fear of abandonment when we tell truth can be daunting too.
What, in your opinion might be helpful/has been helpful to you to be more true to ourselves and others around you?
@River
It helps when im around people that like what i like for sure, or have some experience dealing with the same things. But thats 99% not always the case. I wish i knew when the other perosn was being truly honest with me that way maybe id be more comfortbale sharing.
I feel like people arent personable anymore.
@PinkVampires
I agree it is easier around people with same interest and similar experiences and its easier to open up and be honest when other person is honest with you.
