I Hate Liars and Deceiving People

Have you ever been scammed online? I have to laugh because I can only imagine the replies I will get. Well me too. I have been lied to and scammed. I have little sympathy for those who get caught.

I have learned the hard way. Learn to listen. Liars will give themselves away every single time. It just takes time.

Listen to clues. Do they refuse to meet you? Does their story add up? do they say one thing then contradict themselves? Do they seem to like the drama they have created for themselves?

I am not just talking about romantic interests here. I am talking about friends lieing. I don't get that.

Recently, I let a friend go. I am not sure what made me madder, him lieing, using me or playing me...all because I tried to be a good friend.

i believe with all my heart that you get what you put out to the universe. Good or bad.

I do not believe I have been scammed but maybe I am just unaware. I just cannot see what the value is to lying online, building a persona that does not exist. All that invested time and thought for what purpose? The liars are defective souls, I pity them.

It's a disgusting, distressing, depressing, and generally upsetting feeling when that happens.
I'm very sorry that happened to you.

Well, those who have hurt me deeply, and there are many, I wish no harm. It does not please me to think karma is real and they too will suffer. I don't want that.

Looking back at those who were cruel to me, they have done very well for themselves. Those without a conscience do not suffer, but actually are happy, so I don't believe in karma.
Carissimi · F
You misunderstand me, heart. I am not waiting for karma. I don't want others to suffer, that would make me suffer too. I wish no harm to anyone. My only wish for those who have hurt me is for their transformation into a kind person. It's not going to happen, but that's my only wish for them.

Don't know why we need to deceive in this world. No, you might not approve of how I live my life but at least if up front, you can make that call from the beginning and the friendship can form from there.

yes it is island. you have to wonder why. I wrote a story and deleted it only to find out that i had been deceived in that too. they have taken their game elsewhere so i am a little more free to write now.

Yes, I have, but where I disagree is you get back what you put out to the universe.

Even yesterday, when I put much thought into birthday gifts and paying for an expensive birthday meal for a loved one, I didn't even get a thank you. It crushed me to be treated with such indifference. This is the story of my life. I seem to be surrounded by cold hearts.

I withdraw from people more and more because over 60-years of living, it seems destiny only wants to surround me with the cold hearted and indifferent. I stiffen my spine and become even more of an island and stoic. My warm heart must be covered for its own protection.

@akindheart, I am really disgusted that 'person' preyed on someone as nice and good as you.

@agreatday...i will have to write about that one. A man I met claimed to be a NBA ballplayer...he was a fraud and ended up on CNN and ESPN..
akindheart · 61-69, F
i understood you. i understand your point of view. i was just trying to explain mine. I do believe in karma...and that helps me move forward.

@kindheart - i'm just too naïve and trusting I think.
maybe you're the same way.
i'm sorry that happened to ya.
Carissimi · F
That's a very alien concept to me...payback. However, each to his/her own. Whatever works to keep us going.
akindheart · 61-69, F
Carissimi, it has happened to me too. it is hurtful. but i do believe in karma.

agreatday · 61-69, M

I will never understand what they get out of it...to me it seems like way too much work to remember all the lies...
akindheart · 61-69, F
me too agreatday...me too
akindheart · 61-69, F
@ JLP normal people feel that way...but not liars. it is all about saving their butt. I would love to post what happened but even though i got hurt, i will take the high road.
akindheart · 61-69, F
i can see why you believe that. I waited for it too and I didn't see it. but i believe it will happen. hugs to you.
