BANALITY
Thank you, i find your posts on this topic interesting, i guess its as simple as people fear what they do not understand that is usually part of human nature, tbh i sometimes get confused between the 2 , in most cases people with mental health issues are harmless but people do not understand that.
people are not patient enough also is another reason why so much research into mental health just does not exist, i have not actually been dianosed with anything so i cant say what i have for sure but something is not right up there thats life though could be alot worse so who am i to complain.
lucky mental health issues have gone much futher along than when someone had OCD or depression or something and they were just seperated from everyone, all this stuff makes me wonder who i am i? do i control myself or does my brain control who am i? your brain controls how you feel by releasing chemicals and those chemicals affect who you are and how you feel
its strange to wonder if you can control yourself, i think many humans have the illusion of control, most people think things they do not want to think and act in ways they do not want to want to act so thats why its hard for me to believe that humans have much control, am i making the desicions or is my brain doing that for me and where does me and my brain seperate?
i dont expect you to answer im just putting some things out there to ponder
true people do sometimes have compulsive lying and no matter how much self loathing that may cause them they still cannot stop i think my ex was of the second she had her uses for me and then disposed of me once she was done which i am very glad of cause i dont need her in my life(though she did come back a few times but after the 3rd time of pretending to try to be my friend i just told her she had her chance and then blocked her), i just find what i do not understand interesting and i might watch the show lie to me it sounds interesting.
and btw thank you for the rep J. Valjean
You're welcome. Remember that most people have genetic predispositions to some form of mental illness or another, and circumstantial factors like poverty, abuse, divorce, etc. bring them to life. Same goes for personality traits. None of us had perfect parents, and oftentimes it only takes one or two instances of observation for a person to learn a behavior or response from another person, especially someone they admire. Same thing applies here, a bad situation or circumstances can influence more and more of that bad behavior, and as long as theres nothing stopping them from it then they can go on to develop that trait into part of their stable personality. And many people put up appearances! We never know what's going on with people (unless we are very close to them) other than their public face of personality.
Didn't mean to give you the impression that I thought your ex was a compulsive liar. She sounds like she was very manipulative and disturbed. Kudos to you for going through that. Now you know what types to avoid! Wish you the best.
