Lie to Me. Issue # 3. Content Warning.
My blood was pumping, my hands were shaking, my mind was racing through all of the impossible scenarios that could happen to get me out of my current situation; I was exposed and for a pathological liar that is the worst possible thing that can happen. I didn’t know what to do, I was scared, I couldn’t lie anymore, nobody would believe me even if I was telling the truth. We had argued until the morning, when suddenly we heard a knock at our door.

The Liar
"Why do people lie, grandpa?" My eldest grandson looks at me, his earnest face a mixture of curiosity and concern. It's difficult to hold his gaze without my eyes getting a little wet. I owe him the truth, even at the tender age of seven. So many others have lied to him and let him down. I hope this isn't the only place in his life where he hears the truth.

Misconstrued Identity
One thing which surprised me was realizing how the same person or entity could be perceived so differently. On one end a person could be considered a hero and looked upon as being a very kindred spirit full of love and empathy, while on the other end they may be considered the vilest human being, wicked and full of hatred.

When to keep the peace and when to stand up for yourself
I feel like I am caught in an odd place in both my relationship and with my family. In a place where I want to stand up for myself, but I also want to keep the peace. I feel like I have to really think about every situation that I am in, and consider if it is worth the fight or not. Most of the time, I'm just not sure. I am trying to stand up for myself more, however that causes trouble most of the time. I feel like I always take it, I always try to do what people say is the right thing to do. Of course, that always works out best for everyone else, and never me. When will someone look out for me? When will I come first? Maybe it's just getting older, but I am sick of always doing the right thing and never being put first. I know that my problem is my life is that I don't have a lot of people that will really take care of me, that will stand up for me. All I want is one.

Expectations
Here recently, I've been prompted to reflect on my expectations from relationships, stirring up a terrifying number of emotions and thoughts I am working through in therapy. Throughout my life, I've struggled particularly in my interactions with people, especially men, which has left me with PTSD, anxiety, and a tendency to overthink. Sometimes I question if my complexities and issues make me too much for anyone to handle. So I have decided to confess my good sides and bad sides for potential friends ... or those who may want to be more than friends.
