All of us have faked an emotion at one time, seriously…..every day we undoubetly fake an emotion. Why can’t we show out true emotions????? Probably because if we all reacted the way we truly feel we’d be alone and lonely. I’m going to be real here…..no one can be happy, understanding, and agreeable with everything everyone says, or does, all the time, not to mention we can’t fake through life forever…it WILL catch up to you one way or another.

I have a friend who I pretty much tell everything to. Sometimes I know I may be a tad bit too honest, but she cares about me and loves me for who I am. This is such a precious and true friendship. Can we be like this with everyone??? Heck no…can you imagine if you told someone you hardly knew the truth about something that may hurt their feelings? Oh…I can just imagine the thoughts that go through one’s head when they weren’ t expecting the truth be told. I’VE BEEN THERE……

This is what I have learned with being fake….you are not helping anyone by being someone you are not. I believe in telling someone, who has hurt my feelings, the truth on how I feel when they have said something that is painful/hurtful, their response is their “true-self.” Anger brings out our “true-self”, which no one can fake. Anger is a truth serum. We lose control and let out our true feelings.

Some people go through life being fake. I know this feeling all too well. I still catch myself “pretending/faking” how happy I am with life moments. When something happens in our life that is trumatic, we tend to “fake” our way through life until we can get help to bring out the emotions we have been holding onto. Holding onto past life traumatic events brings out the “fake” in everyone. We become scared to be who we were because we don’t want the same thing to happen in our life again.

What can we do to stop living a fake life? Talk to a counselor and let all that crap out of your head. Counselors don’t judge, a true friend will not judge you and only help to being out the best out of you. I have one of those friends whom I cherish.

Lesson: If you have anger built up, which is causing you to be fake….seek help now so you can enjoy the remainder of your life being the individual you were meant to be. No matter your age, letting out anger will allow you to live a life without being fake. A individual who goes through life being fake is not living the amazing life they wish they could. There is no one getting in the way of you living an amazing life except YOU. Being fake is not flattering to your soul or mind.
