I was always being accused of being a liar and manipulator. I am still always being accused of it.... I actually believe so much in honesty. I'm a terrible liar, actually. I don't hide my emotions very well. I'm a good actress, as in stage actress, because I am very emotional, actually. But not face to face. It makes me really angry to be accused.

I think it comes from those strange episodes in my past that were probably psychosis, because in my head were these elaborate stories. Of course that wasn't deliberate. Also as a child I was "sick" a lot and trying to stay home from school. I was not only badly bullied but I had a mother that had cancer... I remember always being afraid to come home and find her dead. I also felt guilty that she was sick and I wasn't, so I think I wanted to be sick, too. I mean, I was just a little girl! But I've never lived it down.

I say be aware that if people observe this behavior, you can be branded forever.
