Would you...

Published on November 19, 2005 By ----- In Misc

Ok, lets straighten something out.

As I have said, repeatedly. I have not lied since I was "found out" the second time. (Around July or so) Everything, and i mean everything i have posted about myself since then is true. I will stand by this 100%.

Also, I will change. But, I need everyone else to (at least) try and start trusting me concerning being honest. I can only do so much. I can be honest. But its up to each and everyone one of you guys to start (if you want to) to believe me again. I will try as hard as i can to earn back the trust, and respect,etc... But, I can't do it without your help.

I just want to be 'friends' again. (Or at least acquaintences...) As I said in my previous post. I will change. I will do my part. I just need your help in you being willing to trust me again.

(No, this post is not meant in any disrespectful way or anything like that. Its an honest, thought out request.)

Lucas, you may be being 'honest', but this is certainly not 'thought out'. The reason you lost the trust of your fellow bloggers was solely due to your own 'actions'; i.e. lies. The only way you can regain it is once again through your own actions.

Be honest and, in time and with a bit of luck, people may begin to believe you again. If they do, great. If they don't, tough - learn from your mistakes. And that's all there is to it. It's 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' syndrome.

No one is obliged to 'help' you. You created your own discomfort, and nobody else here owes you a damned thing. This is a situation you created, and if you want to change it, the onus is on you alone. Trust / respect / belief are EARNED, not demanded.

In short, it is absolutely NOT up to 'each and every one of you guys' etc. It is up to you.

Lucas, please read my post again. I have no issue with how often you lied. (Even if your description of what you claim to be just ONE lie concludes with 'etc...'!

) I am simply making these points:
1) You lied.
2) You got found out.
3) Consequently, others don't perceived you as honest.
4) If you are not happy with this perception, the onus is upon YOU to change it.

I don't mean to be blunt or unfeeling, but you were the one who said:

'Ok, lets straighten something out.'

What you (we) need to work on now is eliminating your obsessive desire to have OTHER people affirm these things

Thank you, I need all the help i can get.

(Oops, forgot to close this... oy, i think i need to get some 'post-it notes'.
