The worst thing I've ever done is...
I've been faking a mental illness since I was 14, at first just so i could get a girl to like me but I won't lie, the benefit payments make life a lot easier. It's come back to bite me on the ass though as I'm now unable to get many of the public service jobs I want due to my 'condition'. I've been telling people I'm fine for years now, but no one believes me. I pretend to take my medication because taking it just gives me headaches, but I've now come to realise I actually am mentally ill just in a different area and they're all like "We won't give you any more medication, the ones you're taking ought to cover it." And now that we're not 14 anymore, the illness doesn't impress cute goth girls, they've all grown into regular women and think I'm a loony. But still, I'm basically lying to everyone I care about, plus the government, because I just say I've gotten better, rather than saying I was fine to begin with.
But the best thing I've ever done is...
I stay away from almost all social contact, particularly that of a meaningful nature, so I can never again infect those around me with my particular brand of self-obsessed moralising and penchant for lying wildly about myself. To this end I live alone, have no friends, and soon my girlfriend will break up with me, which is a good thing - much as it hurts to let her go - because I'm a massive tool who just covers it up and acts like a loving boyfriend, as opposed to someone she meets who doesn't have to cover things up. It's not like I cheat on her - or ever would - you literally couldn't tell me apart from a regular loving boyfriend unless you saw just how often I masturbate. But I know that inside I'm this emotionally dead monster, so I'll let her go. So i guess the best thing I've ever done is try my damndest not to get close to people. 'Cause I'm an asshole, really. |
