Yes, this. In my mind what really happened is "not a big deal" and also I'm not a little kid anymore and talking about what happened 6+ years ago doesn't seem to get that need met...so instead I make up really serious stuff that is OBVIOUSLY a big deal that is happening right now. It's gratifying. But also evil. And I'm doing exactly what my mother always accused me of doing.
