Do you believe in the quote “you are what YOU say you are?” Whether it’s in a good or bad way
I don't. People lie to themselves as much if not more than they do one another. Never assume someone is self aware or realistic. That being said I do subscribe to the idea of "When someone shows you who they are, you should believe them". For better or worse or until proven otherwise. If someone acts or speaks a certain way you should consider that who they are until proven wrong. Doesn't mean you have to blindly accept every absurd statement out of their mouths though haha
