If there's something that felt like I lie when people told me the truth growing up - it wasn't Santa Claus

It was me discovering nobody else I know gets chills/cold when hearing some sounds

Everytime I get my hair cuts ? The room temperature seems to drop

Everytime I hear the vacuum or hair dryer ? As a child I used to go under my very thick blanket to stop feeling cold. It only worked when I put my hands over my ears

Hearing my father's coffee machine? Our cold kitchen becomes even more cold. It's horrible in winter

My dad's screwdriver-drill ? 1) way too loud 2) my blankets were never enough

#to be fair learning about santa claus not being real felt like a bitter betrayal #cuz technically id already figured it out. my parents didnt hide it that hard #but i grew up hearing lies again and again by my peers and my gullible self took a certain amount of time before deciding not to trust #anything people i didnt know might say #i would have very much loved to hold on this not harmful lie. and it wasnt much. and i was already doubting. i knew santa claus wasnt real #but it still hurt somehow #i hate people lying. the only lie i accept is when its to protect oneself or others
