Sometimes the brain doesn't lie — it just fills in the blanks. 🧠
Ever been absolutely certain about a memory… only to find out it never happened?
That's not deception. It's confabulation — a memory error where the brain unintentionally fills gaps with fabricated or distorted information. And the person genuinely believes every word of it.
The brain isn't trying to trick you. It's just doing its best with missing pieces.
