Personally, I am not able to make stuff up on the fly. I also know that when I'm depressed I get a little paranoid about people's intentions. I know in my heart that we need to realize that people usually have the best intentions and do not mean us any harm. I always remind myself that people don't really have time to be playing games with us. If they do, then THEY are the one with the problem. I walk in the room, big smile, hold my head up high. It's the best I can do.
