I Am a Bad Liar

I make it a habit not to lie to anyone I know. I am no angel, I readily admit. But I find it difficult to make up anything on the spur of the moment or ANY time.

I lied once in my life - I was three - and got caught squarely in it. I was punished for it. That was over six decades ago, and since then, I don't DO it.

However, I also have a lifelong bad stutter. If I get excited or upset, I stutter and stumble in my words. My dear brother tells me outright, "Don't stutter when you talk. People are going to think you're lying."

I can't control a lifelong problem. But, everyone, I don't lie. My mother knew it when she was here. So do my friends.

Why can't my sibling see things my way?

Unfortunately people see things the way they want to. Maybe some day they will understand.

@rjc36 I hope they do. Thanks for caring,
Give your ignorant brother a scientific article about the causes and effects of stuttering. Maybe then he will understand that there is nothing you can do about it and that it has nothing to do with lies. Sorry, but your brother's words are making me mad. How can he be so mean to you? He's known you all his life, but he doesn't really seem to know you.

@RobinPhoenix Mein beloved kleiner Bruder - I do not wish to anger you. ON New Year's Eve last, I resolved to try und nor argue with him anymore, He took mein sudden quietness as "finally stopping fighting with me" und took advantage of it.

He is on eight different kinds of pills (yes, eight - doctor's orders) in the Morgen, und pills make ANYBODY wild. If I DO fight mit him, he yells at me about his "high blood pressure". This has been going on fuer a number of years und the medication just makes matters worse.

Please, Robin, do not upset yourself. It bothers ME that you are so angry mit the words I have put down. I forget so often you read almost everything I say, und so does Michael.

MaryJanine.
