Some false representations contravene the law; some do not. The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business, and, besides, could not be done. The line between honesty and dishonesty is a narrow, shifting one and usually lets those get by that are the most subtle and already have more than they can use. ↗

Discovering your worth and deciding who deserves a piece of you are all part of the same journey. One pathway allows you to find yourself and create yourself if you don't like it. The other pathway allows you to see who was there cheering you on the sidelines. From there you choose who to keep in your life. People will walk in and out in your life, some are meant to be there, others not so much. No matter what the case, you learn what is you want and deserve in yourself and others. ↗
