A bad memory makes me more honest

My memory isn’t great, it’s kinda crap to be honest. It’s one of my symptoms from sz.

But I find that with the bad memory, it makes me more honest. Cos it’s easier to remember reality/truth/what actually happened than it is to remember if I told a lie, and what the lie was.

There’s a saying ‘liars need a good memory’ and I think it’s true.

So sz has made me more honest, anyone else the same :slight_smile:

I used to make up stories to make myself seem cooler, but now I’m over it. There was no reason for it.

My mom says I’m a bad liar. It makes me wonder whether anyone actually believed those amazingly detailed stories about my embelished middle school life.

I strive to tell the truth, there’s literally no point in lying as there’s the potential of breaking someone’s trust! Not worth it!

i suggest that is a lie :slight_smile:

you are saying it to make yourself look honest, so people will believe you more. and perhaps respect you cos ‘you’re honest.’

we have this mask we show to the world, and it’s mostly fake i find.

Edit: maybe i shouldn’t have said this… sorry if i’ve offended you. frings is a gonner goodnight

Fair point. I dunno, it just seems pointless to me now. Telling the truth is better. Although I often lie to my mom about what I’m thinking about. I don’t like talking to her about what the seed says to me. Honestly it would be better to tell no one. I don’t think I should trust anyone. I’m not sure if people are real or not.

Yeah I think about that. Many people worship money, fame, and power in this world. Some try to help, but trusting people is hard for me. I’m not looking to get kidnapped or murdered.

My mom always asks what I’m thinking about and I often don’t want to tell her. Earlier today the seed explicitly told me not to tell her anything. But if I don’t tell her she’ll take me to the hospital and I don’t want that. So I told her some stuff but not all. So I tecnically didn’t lie, but I decieved her.

Do you ever get thoughts telling you to tell people that your symptoms don’t exist? I do. That way no one would hound me about whether or not I’m having symptoms, and I could stop taking the medicine that the beings in the seed are like “don’t ■■■■■■■ take that, it’s destroying you, it’s poison for your mind.”
