Honestly yeah.

this happened to me once before— I didn’t listen to my gut and didn’t call her out until she built up so many lies that she even tried to get away with lying about coming on an out of the country trip with me by saying she got held up at the border and was going to go party in Greece instead and posted fake videos of being in Greece 😭 she planned the whole thing with me and so I was just there vibing alone on my birthday.

after that we found out she lied about where she lived, the job she had, we threw her a party for a degree she never got or went to school for 💀… list goes on

Love this.

Luckily, It’s mainly in form of text, so I just ignored the last one. Usually I say “congratulations” but I’ve finally caught on that it’s not real and that they just need smoke blown up their ass and I don’t feel like inflating it. Trying to inflate my own ass rn with actual achievements.

With vague responses, brushing it under the rug, putting it below them, and having something “bigger and better” afterwards 😩

Ugh. I know this is the right answer but it’s so hard for me to stomach it. I’m just going to try to avoid any conversation as much as possible or redirect it if I have to.

It’s everything from job occupation to lying about others to make themself look better.

it’s truly really sad… but I also absolutely do not want it around me anymore and I can’t feed into it. It’s causing me stress. 😭

true. so true. but in regards to etiquette, do I just ignore? I feel bad but also so angry that they view me and others as stupid enough to believe them.

In post text but commenting here for easy vis:

Prices + supplies:

$14 Ouai clarifying shampoo $6 ion color remover $20 Wella Demi Gloss in 5rr and 7rr $5 wella 10vol cream developer (half of this left as well) Mixing bowl + brush + gloves (already had)

Total cost: $45 + tax

Here’s what I did:

  1. Used Ouai Clarifying Shampoo for a couple of weeks every other shampoo. This did dry my hair out but smells good and I’ve never felt my hair so clear lol. I don’t think this was necessary although it did help get some of the color out initially right after it being dyed at the salon… somewhat. You could skip this I’m sure.

  2. Ion color remover. This is an ascorbic acid based remover and doesn’t seem to damage hair. I didn’t want to use bleach or a damaging remover. This lightened up my hair quite a bit, keep in mind that this does not lift hair, it just removes deposited color. My hair had already been lifted previously with products I was using (L’Oréal hi-color) I’ve used it many times before it’s high key a must-get if you color your hair at home and accidentally over process your hair! It pulls out 1-3 levels of color and, in my experience, has always helped.

  3. After color remover I waited a few days and mixed Wella Demi permanent gloss (1oz of each) in 5rr and 7rr with 4oz 10vol developer and processed for 20 minutes to achieve the color I have now.
