Just because you saw a Bigfoot track doesn't mean there really is a BIGFOOT, Yeti, Sasquatch, right?
I could film shadows in the dark and say over and over "it's true, it's true", but that doesn't mean it's real (like in the Faerie Meadow).
The word Fake is so easily tossed around now a days I forgot what a faker really is. There's half the truth and the whole truth and that one half can be woven into what ever you want. Example; There has been a bear out here and it was so loud I was scared but I didn't see it or any tracks...OK, so who is to say it wasn't a raccoon. Many a raccoon have been known to make quite a racket when they are determined to get into something. ( Like a cooler with food left out of doors, not much of a Prepper on that one)
Mindless exaggeration and tall tales tend to make one not believe ANYTHING you say. This habit must have cause un-told ridicule your whole life ( as a child it had to be merciless). It's a pattern, in my opinion, once someone starts this behavior they always do it. It makes the teller feel larger than life, special and different than everyone because these incredible things are happening. Sadly it's mostly all talk and exaggeration. It's one thing to talk about walking the walk (Appalachian Trail) and it's another thing to do it.
Talk and whine, plead and accuse, infer and be needy, rant, rant, rant...
It's not big foot just because you say it is!
