Facing disbelief/blame over unlikely or bad experiences in my life

[Changeschangechangeagain]

I don't exaggerate and try to remember exactly what happened. I tell small fibs infrequently (I'm not good at telling lies) but don't purposely make stuff up.

I can often prove what I'm saying is true with relatives or family confirming most events although in some cases people aren't 100% accurate.

Somethings are a bit implausible/unlucky/coincidental but again, I'm not telling lies.

Being told 'I put myself into dangerous situations' told I acted in a stupid manner and I should have...or I'm trying to be the centre of attention when I'm just joining in a conversation and really don't see I'm doing any different than anyone else.

I'm sure some of my stories are a bit wilder than others. Maybe I have been more adventurous when younger. Am I just supposed to shut up? I'm quiet anyway.

Am I missing something here?

I'm missing something...I don't understand your thread.

What things are you not believed about?

I lived an eventful life too as a child. It does seem a little unbelievable to me now some of the stuff but then I think once you get involved in drama more follows you.

I can verify mine though but I wouldn't randomly add it to conversation... it's just too much

Sorry, edit gone wrong. I was waffling.

I was in a conversation and my friends didn't believe what I was saying.
One of them pulled a face and said something quitly about me always trying to be the centre of attention with 'my stories'. I overheard.

I was just adding to the conversation. It happened. I got defensive and told her to check with others who knew it was true. I then got accused of being stupid for 'putting myself into dangerous situations'.

I just shut up and left after that as I was getting angry.

It wasn't just added into the conversation. I thought it was relevant to what we were talking about.

Maybe it is too much drama, I would say my childhood was chaotic.

I feel like I need to hide my past to avoid being thought as a liar by friends,

I know the feeling! I think that's why I don't share mine. People wouldn't believe it if I told my life story...

I just have friends from the past if I ever need to process stuff and newer friends who weren't there I hide it all from

I may have overreacted....
