Exaggerating?

On the surface, it's seems like you are exaggerating. But, then again, he invaded your personal space. If you made it clear to him that you did not like this, then I can see how he wouldn't be your favorite uncle. My uncle also did the beard thing, but it was just a silly prank to annoy me. They're was no malice. And I got him back plenty of times. But I love my uncle. So you are entitled to your feelings, but if you feel there was no other motive than mischief, you can let it go. Just like my Grandpa snapping our training bras (ouch!) just to be a booger. No sexual or bad motive. Just being a booger.

Am I exaggerating?

I'm 16. I know you can just say they're hormones or whatever, but I feel like so many people are living their life and I'm just a shut in. And I know there are other people who feel like me, but still.

I've been home schooled since elementary. I tried going to public school again 3 times but I just had too much anxiety.

I wanna be wealthy, have a nice house, have a high paying stable job etc. but with the ways things are going, I'd have to be super lucky to achieve that, considering I've wasted two of my high school years. I actually flunked 9th grade. I really think I have inattentive ADHD, cause I'm so knowledgeable in the subjects I enjoy, yet suck at following instruction and paying attention. I don't wanna be some 30 year old guy living with his parents or in some small apartment just being working, sleeping, playing video games and whatever. I wanna be like a business man, exercising, have a nice car, a nice house/apartment, etc.

I don't even really wanna eat now, but I have to other wise my parents will notice.

I don't fit in anywhere. I can't talk to people, even tho people try to talk to me. Everyone has their own people they hang out with, whether it be "squads", or online friends. I have none of that. I'm just alone, wandering different parts of the internet.

I wish I could get rid of these feelings. I wish I could feel so happy and out going, but I'm shy, anxious, and not forcing myself to be outgoing. I take pills, but they're for anxiety and OCD.

Am I over exagerating.....?

Okay...so here's the scoop, I just recently found out I was pregnant. We shared the wonderful news with my immidiate family (brothers and sister) and had mentioned to please not say a word to anyone b/c we hadn't reach the 3 month pregnancy period yet, and didn't want to jinx it.
And ofcourse my brother wife goes and tells our evil aunt (you know the auntie that always gossips and talks bad about everyone) who I specifically told him not to tell. Not only did my sisterinlaw open her big mouth, she sat there and listened to the evil aunt talk bad about my husband (who's she's never met!) Mind you just 1 week before they went blabering to my aunt, my husband had helped them buy a new car (he did the negotiating).
I of course went balistic on my brother, I felt so betrayed.
Now my husband wants to help my brother sell his wifes car, (hubby would make $$)after I told the bro I would no longer help him! Should I feel even more betrayed by the lack of support 4rm hubby after defendin him

Guys: Am I Over Exaggerating?

Okay, yesterday I was on MyspaceIM talking to my boyfriend and I was also watchind a re-run of America's Next Top Model.
Then I said (or rather typed) to him: I want to go on AMNTM when I'm 16.
And he said: yeah, I bet you could get to the top 5.
I didn't think anything of it so I went on with my conversation. But l8r that night I called my bff and told her about the conversation (i always do) and she said that it was wrong for him to say that I could only get to the top 5 and that he was saying i was ugly.

Now I'm confused! What did he mean by that? Should I listen to my bff, or just drop it!!! help

How do I stop over exaggerating?

Do you think you have a boring life to do this? I am quite sure you are as interesting as any one of those people you have talked with. Exaggerating in itself is lying and because you felt you had to do this, you also may have a deep need to be liked, popular and of wanting to fit in. Have you thought maybe you are choosing the wrong type of people to hang out with? When did this all start for you, because when it began lies the reason behind it? You can stop this because you are aware of it now. Give yourself time and make a mental note of it each time you begin to talk with others. Maybe choosing a couple of friends for now would be better than a crowd and if you have one close friend you can start practising with him/her. Your perception of yourself is far more important than what others think of you. I'm sure this will work out but it will take some time. Just be honest with you. Take care and hang in there and don't beat yourself up for this. We all make mistakes but not everyone chooses to work on correcting them. You are, so go easy with yourself.

Is it ok to exaggerate to make a point?

Exaggerating to make a point makes you look dishonest and manipulative to anyone who sees through your exaggeration. That often backfires, causing people to dismiss your point--even if it's true--because they think you're a liar. This is one of the reasons the anti-drug ads on TV in the 90s failed to change attitudes about recreational drug use--the target audience knew they were exaggerated, and dismissed them.If you need to exaggerate to make a point, it can easily seem to others that your point is too weak to stand on its own. That undermines your credibility and reduces your effectiveness.

What is the best way to stop exaggerating?

It’s incredibly important to stop using adverbs.See what I did there? When you stop using adverbs, you cut the fluff. Adverbs let our brains slack off in both verbal and written contexts. It’s easier to use a generic verb modified by a fancy-sounding adverb than it is to communicate precisely. Go ahead, try to exaggerate without using an adverb.Play devil’s advocateThe next time you are about to say something, think it through, then call BS on yourself. If you can’t justify it to yourself, you’re exaggerating.Less is moreWe often feel compelled to exaggerate when we are subconsciously insecure about what we are saying. The next time you feel that urge, don’t say anything.“At a stage in life, you learn to talk less. That is, let your works do the talking. Hence, work hard in silence. The evidence will be clear for all to see.” ― Oscar Bimpong
