Making up Stories

Hi everyone.

As a writer, I understand the importance of making up stories.  It’s how writers live, by making up stories.

However, when making up stories about your life is your way of seeking attention, I tend to have a small, somewhat minor problem when your stories get ridiculous.

A friend of mine is telling me she had a panic attack.  I understand panic attacks because I get them.  I also know her family.  While they are eccentric, I know for a fact that they would never intentionally hurt her.  She’s making up this story about how they held her down and tried to force feed her a piece of cake.  It just… the way she’s telling it has me going… I know you’re lying, just stop and say you had a panic attack over the guy you used to like because we all know that’s how it really started.

I’m sorry if this is a ranty post…
