People all have their own ways of dealing with life. Some are careless. Some are carefree. Some just don't care.
We can pick and choose our friends, but family is a different story. Seventy five years of family ties are truly the ties that bind.
We learn to live with the people around us.
We know who exaggerates, who makes up excuses and who lies.
We know, but that does not mean we are comfortable with it.
Eventually people begin to age and their characteristics become bolder, more prominent, less carefully concealed.
So how do you know when someone is beginning to suffer from dementia and when they are just becoming poorer liars, because most people caught in a lie become flustered and confused.
There are passive aggressive people who want to be people pleasers, so they run around telling everyone what they think they want to hear. They lie about things they are doing and make up excuses that make no sense when trying to validate a poor decision. I can't reason with these people because when I am talking they are not listening. They are trying to think up reasons why they are in the right.
It doesn't matter why they are doing what they do. In the end they all just make me feel sad and a little depressed, because I know it is not the truth.
