Have you ever wondered why someone close to you might feel compelled to fabricate stories? This week on "Get Real with the English Sisters," we share a deeply personal tale about a school friend whose lies were more than just tall tales; they were a shield against a harsh reality. We explore the psychological reasons behind this behavior, from insecurity to the desire to belong, and discuss the importance of empathy over confrontation. By understanding the hidden struggles that drive people to create these alternate realities, we can better support them through their challenges.
Moving from personal to societal, we also dissect the role of "white lies" in our daily interactions. Whether it's complimenting a friend's questionable fashion choice or expressing gratitude for a less-than-stellar meal, these small untruths are ingrained in our social etiquette. We tackle the delicate dance of balancing honesty and kindness, particularly highlighting the unique difficulties faced by individuals on the spectrum in navigating these social norms. Listen in as we offer insights and practical advice on handling these tricky situations while maintaining respect for others' feelings and boundaries.
Hypnotherapy coaching sessions can help if you are struggling with anxiety.
