First, let me start by saying I'm the guy who still cries at Old Yella and has taken in two Forster kids (both stole from me go figure) and giving people the benefit of a doubt to a fault.
That being said, fool me once shame on you... Fool me twice shame on me. I know find my self surrounded by three types of people. Those born to advantage and either blow it or take advantage of it. I can understand them. Those born to disadvantage who overcome and don't make excuses but anything that doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I would like to think most here fall into this category. I understand them.
The third group I have no idea how to handle. Those will depression, ADHD, PTSD, and so on. Now, I believe and understand that may people struggle with these issues and they are legit. My problem is I don't believe they are all legit and I hate fakers so I become indifferent because I can't tell if they have real issues or just want attention or an excuse.
I could list several questionable examples, but one that is in my second circle is a vet who was marine truck driver. And during a convoy, not under fire lost a brother when crossing a river and while never having a round fired at him or having fired a round now had PTSD or does he? I just don't know to feel sympathy or disdain. I lean way towards the latter.
I have such an issue with liars that I don't know what to do besides walk away because they are stealing resources from people who need legit help. Sorry, but it bothers me enough to make a post. How do you guys do it?
