I’ve been let down so many times its truly frustrating and I wonder why people can’t be more honest!

In the past I have overreacted by holding people at arms length or acting more harshly. One of my oldest friends would regularly tell his wife white lies to avoid confrontation, lying was second nature however when he started telling fibs towards me it damaged our relationship because I always doubted his authenticity and its never been the same!

On a positive note I have discovered a whole world of HSP’s who have strong values and integrity so hopefully I won’t have to manage my expectations anymore ha!

Thank you for sharing this! I can definitely relate to the fact that inner work is so important here. In reflection, I definitely notice repeated patterns, which definitely impact how I react to various situations.
