For some, it seems impossible to be transparent and provide complete or truthful information. They create false scenarios, offer untrue justifications, and blame everything else instead of taking responsibility.

What they fail to realize is that such behavior is unacceptable to some, who may respond by pushing them away.

If you find yourself being pushed away, it’s time to stop being dramatic. Here are some tips:

1. Stop falsifying situations. Let events unfold naturally, do not mess it up by adding untrue layers of perception and drama.

2. Stop over-explaining. Phrases like “I did so because…” and “This is how this happens…” are unnecessary.
Understand… No, that’s not how that happens!
Stop justifying, Start accepting.

3. Avoid phrases like “As per me” and “I want to.” The world doesn’t revolve around your opinions and preferences, and often, they’re not solicited. Save your mental energy for when it truly matters.

4. Do not force similarity or like-mindedness. Learn to respect differing opinions.

5. Not everyone is a “copycat.” Some people possess profound uniqueness. Celebrate individuality.
