They also share some of their real-life experiences and discuss some questionable things in society like- Is pretending to be sick to gain love and attention a good way to build up relationships, should you tell people about their mistakes even if they get mad at you for telling them about the mistake or just ignore it, and how some people end up telling lie after lie to cover up a lie.

BITTER TRUTHS:

“Often, people see things very myopically. They only look at things through one lens and can’t imagine that there are two ways to do the same activity and neither way is wrong.”
“Sometimes letting people commit mistakes is the only way to make them walk on the right path.”
“Pretending to be ill to get attention, love and admiration is a mental sickness in itself.”
“On social media, you see people’s trips and excitement, but what you don’t see is the blemishes.”
“If you are building a relationship based on a lie, it’s not valuable and can only end up bad cause you have to keep up with that lie.”
“In a world where you can see every person you’ve ever known online, you still feel so disconnected from everybody.”
“Who you are is good enough. You like anime, that’s good enough. You like country music, that’s good enough. You like skateboarding, that’s good enough. There are people out there who are just like you, who like the things that you do, but it may not be in your family Circle, it may not be in your school immediately. There are a lot of people who like the same things that you do that you can build relationships with, but you have to not be afraid that you might look like a weirdo.”
