Monica Lewinsky
And I felt sorry, and I have felt bad about what happened.
Monica Lewinsky

Monica Lewinsky
I was brought up with lies all the time... that's how you got along... I have lied my entire life...
Monica Lewinsky
Try and have neutral compassion toward the perpetrator. Step outside the sting of the incident and realize that this person is trying to erase their own inadequacy or unhappiness by transferring it to you. It won't make the incident go away, but it's one thing you can do to reduce the pain.
Monica Lewinsky
