Re: Long term scars from my nada lying so much when I was growing up

[Guest guest]

sorry to get this out so late.. yes, long term scars are a part of many of our

lives as ko's .. i overreact to people too, not just about lying but other

things too.  i am trying to both accept and know myself as well as work towards

changing and become more trusting of people i care about.  i get a lot of help

from therapy, 12-step groups, mental health groups and talking things out with

friends.  processing what is happening, both inside me with my fleas and

outside, how a more appropriate response can be.  it has been a long term

project for me and a lot of work, but well worth it i think.  best wishes to

you, ann

Hi folks. To this day I get very angry and feel threatened when someone

lies to me. I never lose my vigilance against that. I know my vigilance comes

from my nada's habitual lying. And yet I feel that I overreact. Any suggestions

on how to feel less defensive when lied to or more trusting in people near and

dear?
