I live far out from my town, so I get low social interaction in any from. The only people I get to socialize with are my parents, who I notice heavily exaggerate subjects and parts of sentences to make you listen more, or flat out lying for attention to make conversation more intriguing to them.
I wish to know how I can avoid this in conversation as it’s been pointed out by some people I know that I unknowingly exaggerate things or always try to get some reaction out of someone when I tell them something.
