What’s a lie you tell yourself?
Frankly, this prompt rubbed me the wrong way. I hate to be lied to and I don’t know if it is just because I am sensitive about it or there is some other reason but I feel I get lied to often. I’m not talking about little white lies, exaggerations or harmless BS. I’m talking about blatant lies that insult my intelligence and ruin my trust. It happened again recently and I am still stewing over that.
Are there lies I tell myself? Sure, probably, I don’t know, and I don’t need to dissect it at this time. I’m hard enough on myself without piling on. So if I am lying to myself, I’m only hurting myself, because I know the truth. That’s more than I can say for a lot of other people.
