Can you relate?

I just want to know if anyone else has been in my position before. I've made absolute certain not to lie for years except for when I was forced to buy somebody who hurt me. A few years ago I was being bullied and people actually put their hands on me even. I was called a liar. My mother also thought of me as a liar. My grandma has always called me a liar. Technically I'm a product of an "affair" I guess you could say. But my bio father had nothing to do with me until I was almost 16 years old. My father is the one who raised me and didn't leave my mother even though knowing what happened. But that's because he had his own problems as well.(They are divorced for over 10 years now) But my father was never made aware of the bullying. He knows now and is upset that he didn't know sooner because he would have gotten things taken care of properly instead of everyone just accusing me as a liar. Now I have been having some problems with online schooling (not bullying this time). My entire family is again calling me a liar except for my brother and my father. I know the secrets of each person I know. And they should know by now that I don't lie. So why do they dare to call ME a liar?

It's one of those ways toxic people manipulate others, if they always call you a liar that is them discrediting your side of the story which would be the truth so they can substitute it with their story. It's also a little bit like gas lighting, where they tell you lies and mask the truth by changing the story of what happened to try and trick you into believing a false history. I'm not describing it very well, but yeah gas lighting.

In life for a lot of people they don't like themselves. So they lie to either protect themselves .
Or to make themselves look better.

But no matter who they choose to be it doesn't matter.
The only thing that matters is the truth.
No matter what we do in life we do it for a reason and if you can't own up to that reason then you're fake you're a fraud and somewhere down the line you have to pay that price.

Whoever bullied you has to pay that price. You don't need to wish it on them because it will just happen and if you did wish it on them then you're no better than they are

Your pride your joy comes from being honest and telling the truth and not being afraid to do so not afraid of being who you choose to be

This is a moment to be proud of yourself this is a moment to become more confident within yourself
You acknowledge that it happened you accepted that it happened and now you can move on from it because you let it out of your system you let it out into the air

A lot of people don't like to believe because if they do they mean they have to acknowledge it and they have to do something about it but they're just as scared but they shouldn't lie or cheat themselves out of something that they're afraid of

I'm proud of you I think you're cool I think you're great and I wish more people were like you now that it's out in the open You can let It Go and move on with your life and become the person you want to become

When we were born we are all given a gift and that gift is choice we get to choose who we want to be in life by the things that we say and do

I believe that you probably helped a lot of people on here and you should be proud of yourself
