One person might lie to me, but seemingly everyone? Seems more likely that they’re telling the truth. Doesn’t make it any easier to accept and internalize though

    This is a tricky situation, since I wouldn’t want anyone to rely on external validation for their self-esteem, but here I think it’s OK to lean into the probability that your friends probably aren’t lying to you, and that you might have some internal monologue that’s hurting you.
