Not the dramatic, potentially life-destroying kind of lying (affairs and embezzlement and fake identities, oh my!). No, the small, constant, socially-acceptable kind. The “I’m fine“ when you’re absolutely not fine. The “It’s no problem“ when it is very much a problem. The “I’d love to!“ when you would rather eat glass.
You’ve been doing it so long you don’t even notice anymore. It’s become the water you swim in and the air you breathe. The background hum of your entire existence (ouch).
Welcome then, to the Performance Audit, where we’re going to shine a very unflattering light on all the things you’ve been pretending and discuss why you might want to consider stopping.
(Spoiler: you’re exhausted because you’re a one-woman theatrical production that never closes.)
