The Wrong Ear

 


Hello,

There are moments when life gets heavy, and all you want is a safe space to share your frustrations, your disappointments, and your challenges with someone who you think understands. But be careful who you choose to confide in. Not everyone will have your best interest at heart, and sometimes, what you say can be twisted or misrepresented.

It can be disheartening when someone recounts your story with details changed or distorted and their opinions added. What was a moment of vulnerability for you becomes a version that no longer feels like your own.  And the trust you placed in that person feels betrayed. Words in the wrong hands can become manipulated into distorted truth, turned into something unrecognizable. Funny, but true.

This is a reminder to be mindful of who you vent to. Not everyone who listens will protect your words, and some might even use them against you later. True friends respect your truth and hold your confidence. They don't twist it to fit their own narrative or spread it around for others to judge.

Protect your peace. Guard your story. Choose wisely who you entrust, and know that your truth deserves to be treated with care and respect.

While many people seek help for genuine reasons, some will exploit your kindness for their own gain. These individuals may twist the truth, misrepresent the facts, and attempt to steal credit for things they didn’t do all to aggrandize themselves.  Sometimes trying to help others comes with a high price tag. What makes this betrayal so damaging isn’t just the immediate harm caused by their actions, but the ripple effect they create. When some cook up lies, taking credit for your endeavors and distorting the truth, they pull others into their web of lies. People may quickly take sides, rushing to judgment based on half-truths and misconceptions, convinced by a false narrative that paints you as the villain. These manipulative behaviors can fracture relationships in ways that are nearly impossible to repair. Once others are entangled in the lie, trust is ...
