Dear Amanda:

If people said what they mean and mean what they say, that would make life much easier to figure out. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon that people say what is not true to them, but say it anyway because they believe it serves some purpose.

When what a person says and does do not go together, then we have to consider that the person is lying. For whatever reasons (one possible reason, to not offend another with the truth…) And then go with what a person does- or does not do- and believe his actions, not his words.

I hope you continue to feel the freedom you mentioned and that the bad feeling will kick in less and less often, hardly at all… and then, not at all.
