When People SayThingsTheyDon'tMean... Most of the time, I try to speakonlywhen I havesomething to say, and when I meanwhat I say. Sure, I'm not immune to a whitelieortwo, here and there, and I wouldchoose to omitsomethingif I don'tthinkit'snecessary to revealmyself. However, I generallydon'ttry to misleadormisguideothers, ormisrepresentmyselfor be "fake." I'mpretty much "whatyouseeiswhatyouget" and attimes I evenwear my emotions on my sleeves a bit too much.Sowhat I don'tunderstandiswhysomepeoplechoose to not be truthful. "I'dlike to be friends" or "I'llcallyou." Theynevermeantit. Or friendswhowon't return callsor email, and thentheysay "oh, I was verybusy" when I knowtheyactuallyweren't. It'sveryfrustrating for me to trust peoplesometimesbecause I don'tknowwhatis real and whatis not. I've met enoughpeoplewho "faked" me out that I becameaware of trying to protectmyself from potentialdisappointment and hurt. Granted, I know I canappear to be aloofordistant and maybeotherpeoplethinkI'mfakingthem out, too. The realityis, I'malwaysverysincere, and if I don'tlikesomeone, he orshewillknow. I don'tpretend to be friendly to anyone, and I don'tmakeanypromise I don'tintend to keep. And if I can't do something, I willletthemknow.I wishpeoplewould be less inclined to "try to be nice." Let's be frank, shall we? Don'tworryabouthurting my feelings. It'smorehumanethatway, most of the time.
