Oh honey, from everyone who has lived with someone BPD or NPD and can walk in a room with every spidey sense tingling, ready to block, counter, deflect, jolly, cajole, comfort, whatever is needed to avoid a “situation”.....big goddam hugs. Big ones.

Mine falls in in with the always destined to go woefully awry “good intention lie”. My mom and my biological father divorced when I was about 9 months old. My mother immediately started dating my stepfather (here after referred to as “Dad”). They had dated before but broke up because my dad felt he was too young to…

I’m not sure how everyone is getting my mom is a rabbit murderer. They just up and died. It happens.

The actual source:

My parents told me that the lyrics to Guns n Roses Paraise City were “take me back to Prairie Dog City.” Because I liked prairie dogs in elementary school and used to draw them and write books about them.

My mother told me that if I ate the crust on my toast, my hair would grow curly. It made absolute sense to me, as adults were also telling me that dairy was good for my bones, and carrots were good for my teeth. So crust must be good for your hair!

Toilets are freaking terrifying as a kid. I was pretty sure they were actually portals to hell

I’m the liar.

When one of my cousins got her period for the first time, she freaked out when she realized that it was going to happen again next month. She basically said wait this is going to happen again? Yes, cousin this happens again.

Aw, poor wee you.

I was so scared that my feet did not touch dirt for days. I was absolutely convinced that the worms would come for me

My best friend (I swear I’m not just trying to save face!) believed that chocolate milk came from brown cows until she was in her early to mid teens.

My friend’s dad used to grow weed next to his tomato plants, and one of the first times he smelled weed somewhere else, he went, “It smells like my dad’s tomato plants!”

You got out of all this. Now consider there are grown-ass adults who not only propagate this kind of BS but fervently believe it.

i don’t remember learning santa wasn’t real, but i have SUCH A CLEAR MEMORY of going out to the living room one christmas and seeing presents and literally saying to myself ‘he came’ and then going to get my mom.

I attended a fundamental baptist middle school (ankle length jean skirts, chapel, no pop music, etc) and I distinctly remember a “science” class where they had to do some major mental gymnastics to support a literal biblical interpretation of science. Fossils are a lie from Satan, carbon dating is a trick by…

Last year I went to Europe in the school holidays. When I got back, one of my students told me that she had also been to Europe. She said a famous Youtuber (can’t remember his name) had asked her to go to London with him and she had flown from Brisbane to London, stayed in London two nights and flown home. I was very…

Not me, but my best guy friend was dating a giant bitch for a long time an he was delusional and wouldn't see it. We all knew she was cheating on him but he wouldn't listen. He found a condom wrapper in her garbage can and she said she used it on her vibrator, and he called me to ask if that's a thing that girls…

I am so god damned gullible i can’t even remember all of them. Most recently, JUST THIS WEEK, a coworker emailed to say her kid was reciting a poem at his school for the Christmas pageant and that “it would be on CNN.”

When I was little, my sister convinced me that she and everyone in my family were space aliens sent down to kill me. Her real name was Christina and she came down in a beam of lavender light. My real family was dead, btw. I went to my mom, sobbing and she was like, “ you’re nine and too old to believe that.”
