Not interested in the truth

I have little capacity for believing anything as it is because there was little interest in the truth.

Gad, what was that from?
Iā€™m like a little kid who doesnā€™t know what to believe. Not savvy enough.

A 1997 comedy called ā€œLiar, Liarā€ starring Jim Carrey.

Well, I have been told that there are a lot of things kids arenā€™t ready to hear so you lie to them. Kids also canā€™t understand a lot of stuff. They overhear enough as it is, getting confused and all.

Of course. you have to shield them from some of the more harsh realities of life until they get older. Of course thereā€™s many 12 or 13 year old kids in certain areas in Africa and South America who are forced into being child soldiers and fight in civil wars and see and experience unbelievable atrocities that the majority of adults wonā€™t, made worse by being so young.

Yeah. My father suffered greatly being a child in a German city that was constantly being bombed in ww1.

Speaking of truth, I wonder if my conservative neighbors are thinking anything weird about me having sz. They must see the taxis pick me up to take me to therapy sessions and group and such. They see me hoofing it all around rather than driving. The silence from two houses across from me is deafening.

Guess I grew up differently, us kids were never shielded from any reality.
My mom tried to tell me some things in the last 2 years that happened a long time ago that were supposed to be a ā€˜secretā€™, but unfortunately I already knew them-I was told by the very person it was about themselves.

Iā€™m a skeptic, so there are a lot of things people take for granted that I donā€™t believe are true.

@Csummers I know one truth kids canā€™t deal with - ā€œItā€™s all your fault.ā€

Thatā€™s because it isnā€™t a truth.
Itā€™s what adults say to kids when theyā€™re angry, but I knew better, I didnā€™t ask to be born.

If I had ever said that I didnā€™t ask to be born, my parents would have said, ā€œfine, Iā€™ll kill you.ā€ As it was, I think they were trying to provoke suicide.

I love jim carey. Nobody can execute extra like he did.

I didnā€™t ask to be born is a way of saying that the parents are responsible for the birth of a baby because they are the ones who had sex.
A baby should never be blamed for being born- they didnā€™t ask to be born.

Responsible parents donā€™t blame the baby for what they chose to do, and it donā€™t matter if they ā€˜wantedā€™ a baby or not- they had one, and they should have taken better care of you than they did.

Iā€™ve found the truth to be a pretty fluid thing. What is truth for one may not be for another. I know that is a poor explanation but Iā€™ve experienced it when my truth probably isnā€™t really that of anyone else! Iā€™ve learned to be a little more flexible after psychosis!

I can shoot spaghetti out of my fingers.

I learned I have to be more flexible about calling someone a liar.

Wow was I ever deceived in my psychoses! Several times. I feel I was conned by a spirit. It took about 1 or 2 weeks to come back to everyone elseā€™s reality.
