make yourself bigger, better than reality. Or make yourself less than you really are.
hahahahahahaha
I provide gentle misguiding from time to time to maintain my distance from those I don't want too close. I don't make myself "bigger" because it's easy to be found out and is a douche looking tactic, People are more inclined to help underdogs anyway. Most of my lies are related to some kind of avoidance I'm either after or covering up.
I have never been comfortable with telling lies about myself or lying in general. I didn't even realize that until going back over my history with lying. Some part of me feels I shouldn't have to lie about myself in order to get by in the world. In the past I would rationalize lying or stealing as part of my survival during seasons of drought and famine, if you will. Now I know that the truth would have been the very thing to turn those circumstances around, rather than keeping me stuck. I guess I'm just worn out maybe. I don't want to live the survivors life anymore. I'm ready for a better quality of life than that.
For years I lived in a bubble of lies until I poked it to work on myself (thus the random bouts of suicidal / depressive thoughts) nowadays I only lie pragmatically (instead of for catharsis) for example when scamming someone. And even then I'll look very truthful and confident / convinced because my reality is still very malleable
i give what i believe to be a false impression of myself, hiding certain aspects so the other can potentially be caught off guard? definitely hide the level of anger i often experience cos i know it can be scary from the outside. why the fuck are you laughing mid sentence?
