When people do not like their past history, they invent a new one. You don't like your own past, so you tell others a much more wonderful past than you had. It could be the immediate past or "back in the day." My real past does not even come close to what I tell about it. At each telling I embellish more. I tell this to people whether they know me or not. To put it simply, I like to make up a story about my past that suits me.
