Enlighten me, please!

The person doesn't have to necessarily lie about anything or misrepresent the truth for that to happen. It could also be due to a little sumthin sumthin psychologists like to call projection. People tend to project qualities on somebody as who they want the person to be, rather than who the person really is.

Think of it like this.....ever known a guy/girl who you thought would just be perfect for you? Probably somebody you didn't know all that well, the cute girl/guy in class that you always wanted to date and thought was the sweetest most bestest greatest (insert more mushy crap) person.....then went on a date or really talked with the person and realized that hell would have to freeze over before you'd even think he/she is a decent human being? Ok, so maybe it's exaggerated.....but I'm sure most people have encountered a situation of some similarity. Projections, 'nuff said.

Sometimes we only hear what we want to hear, it's not always somebody else leaving things out. Sometimes we get lied to....then it's somebody else's fault.
