Hello. I have decided to make a thread. I want to seek unbiased assistance from people on this site. For now, I'll give a small issue that has been concerning me.
I always find myself giving away more information than I intend to. Not on the internet, but in life. Let's say I'm casually speaking to the people I call friends, and I let something slip out. At the moment, I don't think anything of it, but later on, I'll remember what I said, and instantly regret it.
I know this isn't a problem that can be completely resolved, but I wish for guidance on how to make my "after-effects" less detrimental to my character.
So, when I'm regretting what I said, I sink to an all new low, and repeatedly berate myself. Unfortunately, I know I can't change what happened, so I become more down. And then I'm in pain because when I'm any other mood than happy, I get headaches. That's also bothersome, so if you know anything about that, I'll appreciate it.
Point is, I need to become a better liar (which I hope I don't. I'll cover why in another post), or I need to become more solitary.
I know this issue of mine may seem ridiculous because the common answer is very simple, but I am incapable of doing it, so that's out.
I don't mean for this to sound melodramatic. That goes for my future posts to.
If you have any questions or criticisms, please post them. Thank you for reading.
Start with small lies when talking, lies that don't really matter at all. The more you lie, the more you get used to it. Like when someone asks what you ate for breakfast, LIE! What you did over the weekend, LIE! If you did your homework, LIE! And by the time you get used to it, you'll be a lying scumbag :D
Of coure, this is a very psychological thing, you get guilty but you don't know how to stop yourself. It's about conditioning yourself. My mum taught me this technique which I sort of developed later on till now.
When you have realised yourself saying something wrong to the other person and it's too late, mope about it a little, but then make it a DUTY within an hour or by tomorrow to get back to the person via phone, email or face to face. Even if they don't know what you said was wrong and you're just acting paranoid, still apologize. Apologizing/ confronting someone on a matter that was your wrong doing is a highly embarrassing situation to be in. And you won't want to go through the ordeal again.
Thus making you less likely to commit the bad act again '.'
