    If Guard 2 is the one that lies, that means they can’t have apologized

          What are things I reveal to my therapist about that camping trip with the super horny bear?

          I’ll take… Childhood Trauma for $800

            Ha! That was funny, clever, and kind of out of nowhere enough that it’s so good and I enjoyed it so much that I feel like just an upvote doesn’t suffice. But I didn’t quite know what to say…sooo, I’m writing this, lol. Thank you for making me laugh in such a clever, fun way! :)

            Also, I’m sorry about the bear. I’ve got horny animal-related childhood trauma, too, lmao!

              For realsies, it was a horse, but I wasn’t willing actually un-repress that memory. Anyway, time to look for some brain bleach!

            Abuse also creates people who at the core lack a sense of self, so trying to fit into groups can be difficult and makes them prone to do things wrong. (my head just went into a translation error dead zone)

            It’s crazy how big of an impact a non-abusive upbringing can have. I’ve personally struggled with cognitive dissonance from my own, took me a low 15 years to accept it

              Yeah. I had a physically and mentally abusive father as well, but he wasn’t much of a liar in this case. I’m 40, been on my own since 17, and still need regular therapy for all of it. So I empathize.
