I Am Stressed Out And Feeling Lost

Everyone keeps telling me that they understand, everyone keeps telling me that... it’s okay.

Recently, I’ve been placed in an awful position. I’m required to talk to someone; someone that I don’t know anything about.

I have to sit across from this woman and answer questions that may ruin lives of those that I love.

Everyone keeps saying, ‘Just tell the truth, all she cares about is the truth.’

I know better. When someone is searching for a negative or a secret... all they’ll hear and see is a negative or a secret. They’re blind to sincerity.

So I have to sit across from her and consider everything I say three times over and all the while... she knows more about who I am, than I know about her.

I hate it. I hate the concept. This is why I don’t talk to people face to face. I don’t understand the concept of socialising.

So now I’ll have to read her more than any other, I’ll have to listen even more carefully than any other.

But it’s okay... because I don’t matter. My peace of mind is worthless.

I get it. I’m listening. I’ll say what you need me to say. Just remember that while you were forcing me into that corner.... I was warning you to consider your actions.

People who live in glass houses... shouldn’t throw stones.

For the duration of like 75% of reading this story, I was thinking that you were talking about police interogation, like u did something wrong and they were investigating you.
Now I see that you were talking about dating, right?
I think you need to be yourself and I know, you think yourself is boring, but it's not. Just talk about wolves, pets or whatever, school, work, weather, games, just look around you and form stories based on your experiences with the things that cross your sight. And if she'll like you, then you'll know that she liked u for you and not for some fake wannabe whose real colours will be seen in a short while. Just be you, and look for somebody that suits your personality, you know 👌

@Dan193 Thanks for the advice, Dan. This was not, however, about a girl. 😅 That’s an entirely different kind of issue.

It will be an interrogation, of sorts. Just less open than a police officer asking the very question that they want answered.

@SW-User oh, if I learnt anything from action movies is that u don't confess to anything, even if they offer you a good deal. If they had any real evidence they wouldn't have needed to question you. Also consult a lawer first.
Hope it works out for you.

Idk who says so, but I don't think its [u]okay[/u]. I really think its not. You feel how you feel... and that's how you feel.

Its honestly better to talk to a stranger that knows nothing about you. As time goes on she will, but only from your perspective, which gives her an idea of who you really are. Maybe you're having troubles with things that you can't notice.
Also no bias there. Someone who knows you (family,friend) can give you biased advice.

If you think you can handle things better on your own then stop going. No one should stop you; you can see there who considers your feelings.

@AnonymousJSS It’s not a therapist. I haven’t seen one of them in a long time.

This is a different kind of deception-ist. Unfortunately, If I don’t see her... I’ll be ruining lives too. It’s a lose-lose situation.
