In the past six years, I have been in relationships with a dozen people. They were all different, but there is one thing they all had in common: they were drama queens.
I was with my first boyfriend for two years before I started to realize that half the things he said were lies. He would make up stories to hide the fact that he was cheating on me, and then he would make up different stories to cover up those lies. It was exhausting.
My next boyfriend wasn’t so much a liar as he was a fraud. He pretended to be sweet and innocent, but when we were alone he would get violent and abusive.
Then there was the third one who cheated on me with almost every woman he could find because he just couldn’t help himself.
And then there was the fourth one who used to stalk me and show up at places where I used to hang out without even telling me that he was coming. He would break into my house and wait for me to arrive from work or from a night out with friends. And if I came home late at night and fell asleep without even saying hello, he would get mad and storm out of my house in the middle of the night without even saying goodbye!

It is usually extremely difficult to prevent the truth from coming to light. The truth is like a cat, it always has nine lives. You can hide it for a while, but sooner or later, it will appear in front of you. People spend their entire lives trying to find out the facts behind the story.
We often hear about people who lie and pretend to be someone else. They live double lives, with two names and two personalities. They try everything in their power to keep their secrets hidden because they know that once the truth comes out, they will lose everything and everyone important in their life.
It can be hard living with a lie every single day, which is why most people who live a double life eventually choose to come clean and admit their lies. Nobody is perfect and we all should be given a chance to correct our mistakes. But what happens when a person never admits their mistake? What happens when they continue lying even after the truth has been revealed?
The answer is simple: they have no soul left inside them.
Don’t watch the news. Don’t watch television. Don’t listen to people’s conversations. Just live your life and do what you do. Sometimes I wander around and I see so many people talking, listening to their iPods, watching TV or reading newspapers, but I’m like “how much can a person take in?”.
Human beings are incapable of taking in knowledge from multiple sources at one time. If you really want to know something, firstly you have to learn it, understand it and then make a decision on whether it is right for you.
I am not telling people not to have opinions on what goes on in the world. But just because someone says something doesn’t mean that it is true or that I should believe it. We have been desensitized by what we are exposed to these days by TV and the media in general – we have lost our ability as critical thinkers.
As we all know, life is a drama. We are all actors in this drama. And sometimes it is difficult to act in the way that is expected of us. It is not always easy to pretend to be the person we are expected to be. At times like these, many people ask: What should I do?
My answer is always the same: You must act. You must find the strength within yourself to play your part and act for yourself, no matter how hard it may seem. You must find something within you that gives you hope.
Sometimes acting requires a lot of courage. Sometimes acting requires a lot of emotional strength. But whatever it takes, you must do it for yourself, and for those around you who need your help.
To act means to be true to your beliefs and values at all times and in all situations, no matter what other people say or do. It means speaking up when others are quiet. It means standing up for what you believe in even when it seems hopeless.
Who would have guessed this would be the one to go viral?
It’s not a technique you can use every day. It’s not a trick you can use over and over again. And it might not work for everyone. But, when it does work, it works amazingly well.
The most important thing to realize about this blog post is that for the most part, I wrote it for myself.
I don’t know why people like it so much. Maybe because they relate to the story of having someone think you’re someone else? Maybe because they appreciate the honesty? Or maybe it’s just because of the way I told the story?
Whatever the reason, I think that’s what made this post great. The topic might not have been particularly unique or interesting, but it was about something that happened to me and something that I felt strongly about. So I wrote about it with passion and honesty in an attempt to connect with people who had experienced something similar.
Most people – when they’re talking to you, or writing in their blogs – are trying to sound smart.
Acting smart doesn’t make you smart. But acting dumb does. Because the only way to sound smart is to actually be smart – while all it takes to sound dumb is to be willing to sound dumb.
The problem with acting smart is that it makes you careful. And it’s hard to do some of the most important things in life carefully. Like changing your mind. Or making friends. Or falling in love. Or starting a company. You have to be willing to look stupid – even though you know you’ll regret it later.
Do you feel like you’ve been too nice to others? Have you ever thought that you’ve let people walk all over you? You’re not alone. Many people struggle with being too nice and letting others take advantage of them. It’s an issue that can cause a lot of pain and stress. But it is possible to change and learn how to stop being a people pleaser.
You’ve probably heard the quote by Eleanor Roosevelt, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” When you’re too nice, this can happen. People may feel comfortable taking advantage of you because they know you won’t say anything. They may even treat you poorly or insult you, but you won’t do anything about it because of your desire to be nice.
By learning how to stop being a people pleaser and gaining some self-respect, however, you can prevent this from happening. This article will explore why people are too nice and how they can learn to respect themselves more, which will help them gain the respect of others as well.
