How Desperation Influences Your Perception

“Because I was so enamored by wild promises and delicious lies, I really couldn’t see clearly; not only with my eyes, but with my heart and mind. Now I am much more cautious and I guard myself from the ridiculous claims people make.”

Let me start off by saying this: You are not crazy for being suspicious about people’s intentions. In fact, you are right; most of the people you come across are trying to take from you.

At the time I had no patience and everything I wanted seemed to take way too long to get within my grasp. And through my misery opportunists saw a way to manipulate me and rob me financially, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally blind.

I can say with certainty that I wasn’t thinking straight when I allowed certain people around me. Behind the fake smiles and pathetic attempts to come off as genuine, these faux friends were really vampires. And they merely saw me as prey.
