So, it turns out that when you talk to someone who doesn't disbelieve or think that you are exaggerating about your past and all that it entails, it feels good.
Who knew?! Ok. People in therapy etc knew but whatever. 😆
@AskTheDevil
Thanks. Exactly right.
@testamonk If people believed all the stories I tell about myself, I'd be worried for them.
I do appreciate it when people accept them as a real experience to _me_.
I am glad you are able to have this experience though. It can be very healing not to have to defend your lived experiences.
