I'm sick of pretending that anyone outside maybe my mum cares if I live or die.

I'm sick of pretending that I have the slightest bit of talent. Or, indeed, if I even do, that it matters a whit, since I'm such an unpleasant person.

I'm sick of pretending that I'm not an unpleasant person.

I gave up pretending a long time ago. I threw off my clothes and stand before you guys naked AS I AM. Take it or leave it.

I'm sick of pretending to be "gay"

I'm sick of pretending to be "straight"

I'm sick of pretending that the internet is a social life.

i'm sick of pretending that smoking a cigarette will make me feel better

Okay okay, I'm a 54 office worker who has a rabbit obsession. I have about 45 bunnies all of whom I love equally. We like to dress up in tutus and run around the garden chanting 17th polyphonic hyms.

i'm sick of not "getting together with myself (for real) instead of just goofin"

pretending is in there somewhere

"I'm sick of pretending that I'm not an unpleasant person."

Yes me too. I'm trying to slowly acclimate all my friends to it.

pretending is awesome, have you guys never been in a a play!

i was the star

Hmm...I don't think I'm pretending anything right now.

Surm, I love you but I think you need to relax sometimes. That said, I remember a moment around 6pm today with friends when I just couldn't relax about the future. I kept thinking there must be something to worry about when I knew there wasn't.

waaaaiit, you're

telling me

to relax?

::muah::

If 70% of life is showing up, another 20% is pretending things.

The remaining 10%?

Beer and tittays.

I'm not thrilled about this one either, but you have to leave the house sometimes.

I'm sick of pretending I know what is me pretending and what is me...realing.

I'm sick of pretending that I've made any progress in my mental health for the last ten years. If anything I"ve gotten worse.

I'm also sick of pretending that I'm not selfish and have ulterior motives way too often.

The best way to make progress in your mental health is to not think about its progress. Or so I am pretending lately.

I'm sick of pretending that I've made any progress in my mental health for the last ten years. If anything I"ve gotten worse.

But if you're not pretending anything, you'd just be this walking id. Like Adam Sandler or something. Nobody wants that, probably not even you.

Pretend. Pretend you're sane and healthy and confident. It works.

Mental illness, if its anything definable, may be the lack of the ability to pretend you're not mentally ill.

Ah man, kenan, somehow the idea of Adam Sandler as poster boy for walking id really hurts!

Good points. Maybe if I wasn't so afraid of experiencing pain I could for once grow as a human being.

HA! Nothing personal. Choose your own misadventure, obv.

I sometimes get sick of pretending I'm not sick, but I know it's the best option so I keep doing it.

BTW Maria you don't seem an unpleasant person on ILX.

Most of these pretences are probably pretty good. If you stopped pretending things could get really bad quite quickly I think!

tbh ramzi's OP reads like something hipster runoff would post

Sick of pretending I'm a grown up. Fuck all that.

haha I wasn't gonna post on this thread, but that's exactly what I thought

except... i wasn't kidding

it's all so nutty!

sick of pretending that my partner is out of town on business and that the stains on the patio are motor oil.

omg wonderful cherries

I'm sick of pretending I'm not broken.

I'm sick of pretending I'm not lonely.

I'm sick of pretending that there could possibly ever be more to life than what there is right now.

Right now I am sick of pretending I'm awake enough to do any useful work when pretty much all I feel good for is curling up for a nap (not possible for 9 hours)

i don't think u should pretend you are not broken

a nap sounds real nice, with a puppy and a TV!

i'm sick of pretending i might not be all that awesome really.

eh i dunno, i think you're pretty awesome

despite my best efforts

Read something yesterday that gave me chills on the back of my neck and seems just about right for this thread:

"Adventure," then, is what might otherwise be called a hardship if it were attempted in a different spirit. Turning a difficult task or a perilous journey into an adventure is largely a matter of telling yourself the right story about it...

Pretending isn't art, it's LIFE.

I'm sick of pretending that I'm not going to be conflicted and miserable when I'm single after today (which is now all but a certainty).
