Recently, I had an incident where someone questioned my honesty. At first, I was shocked and then I got mad. Real mad! The more I thought about it and the more I pieced things together, the more I realized this person truly did not trust me. Now, it JUST HURTS! How could he/she think that I would lie about something? Have I ever lead this person to believe that I would lie? Had I ever done something dishonest to make them believe that I could be dishonest?
Wow....it really made me step back and look at the way I present myself in front of others. I am an extremely sarcastic person and use slang idioms on a regular basis. I have had to stop myself on occasion to clarify what I said, usually because it hurt someone's feelings (never on purpose!), not because I came across as lying. Anyway, I am watching everything I say and everything I do because I NEVER want it to come across that I would be anything but trustworthy.
So, to make a long story short, I still hurt over the whole mess and want to confront this person about the accusation but I know it is useless and would just open up more issues that need to be just left alone. It hurt my feelings and I will just have to get over it!

Don't change the way you are just to make other people happy. If they don't believe you or are offended by what you say, then it's their problem! I like your sense of humor and your sarcasm....it makes you, you!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are perfect just the way you are... Maybe on the "other side" - this person has not been around very honest people and they are not trusting with any one??? Who knows - you are through and through, a wonderful Christian lady - glad to call you friend - honestly!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI will never forget, Kim, receiving the papers about being sued after "the wreck". The remarks made directly about me were gut wrenching, and still hurt. We also were accused once (our business) for stealing. Through prayer, reacting calmly, and just waiting it out - it all turned out OK. The fixtures were never even shipped (they were what we supposedly stole), and I am a much more cautious driver now. Sit back and know that we are all human - noone is perfect, and your true friends will love you no matter what. Most of all - God loves you more than you can imagine. I love ya too. :) TUJ
