The Truth Hurts

Some peo­ple are hurt by the things I say here. But I make no judg­ment; I only speak the truth, sup­port­ed by the facts. So if some­one is a stalk­er who blames her prob­lems on the object of her atten­tions, or treats her son like a trained ani­mal, or decides to charge friends and room­mates for rides to the gro­cery store, and I doc­u­ment it here, I’m not the one who’s embar­rass­ing them. They do that enough for them­selves.

It’s like a doc­u­men­tary about the Holocaust. The film­mak­ers don’t need to offer an opin­ion that con­demns it. The footage and tes­ti­mo­ni­als speak for them­selves.

Sometimes, the peo­ple who don’t like what I have to say are so delu­sion­al that they sup­ply their own real­i­ties, per­haps because they don’t want to be at fault.

They don’t real­ize it’s the truth that hurts, not me.

    I nev­er notice posts where you call peo­ple out on stuff… well… rarely…

    • I don’t do it often, but it does hap­pen every now and then. It’s not so much call­ing peo­ple out on stuff as just writ­ing about my expe­ri­ences, and how peo­ple can affect oth­ers like me, with the occas­sion­al reflec­tion of how interesting/crazy humans are.
