I'm very disturbed how do I lie and convince people im not?

Im a deeply disturbed person and sometimes when I try to explain thoughts of mine to others (lightly- as in not as graphic as it was when I thought of it) they always say 'Youre disturbing'. I talk about death a lot, and I was wondering, even though I am disturbed, how do I lie and convince people im not?

Dear nirvanafan,
If you're 'disturbed' way is interfering with how you communicate with people then I suggest you seek out counselling. Talking about death will bring reaction from others and this is what you are looking for since you do know how they will react. I believe you are seeking attention and perhaps are going about it the wrong way. This is perhaps something that you can discuss with a counsellor. When you want to start changing who you are because it's not working for you then professional help is a great place to start.
Sue...good luck

You say you think about death allot
In what way do you think about it?
Please answer me back by sending me fun mail

well to tell you the truth you cant really hide your feeling just do what I do put on a fake smile and pretend that you didnt wish the world would not come to an end just to end the pain... it has worked for years but I have gottend help since im now on anidepresents I dont feel diffrend but what ever.

You shouldn't lie to people for any reason, especially not to augment their opinion of you. If they can't hack the way you are then they can go hang around someone else. I wish I could answer your question, but all I can say is that you should not be dishonest with anyone. They'll come to accept you for who you are.

Well I must agree with you a, I am myself quite the same with disturbing and macabre thoughts, people call me the same thing, I dont listen to them , I ignore them when that happens...we all keep things from people its nothing new, I suggest you just dont talk to them about your thoughts unless they bring it up...I prefer to voice my opinions some times and find it hard to shut up, but,in the end you find people that respect you for who and what you are, my friends do that, in a way, I tell funny jokes and am quite outgoing you should try the same thing...add humor to your darkness so they see the funny side...and only be serious when you need to be...

Need any more help feel free to funmail me...

to tell you the truth
I think everyone has a 'disturbed' side
and youre lying if you say you dont
no one is 'normal'
you dont need to convince anyone anything
im not saying you should depress the people around you though
but if you just happen to bring something like that up and they jump to such a narrow-minded conclusion then they arent worth it
...so there

im not saying I dont. I dont even think I have a normal side anymore! I've changed a lot. I dont depress them. I just freak them out.

then you should go to counceling
who knows
you may like it
or...you can just talk to me about it
im no professional but I know a lot about mental health-type subjects
anyway...good luck

Just be yourself. If people are freaked out by you then hang out with people who arent.
