If you can say somenthing to ponyboy what do you said?

I would tell Ponyboy to embrace his individuality and not be afraid to express himself. Life is filled with challenges, but staying true to who you are and valuing your relationships will help you navigate through them. Remember, it's okay to dream and aspire for more, even in tough circumstances. Don't lose hope; your story is still being written.

What does Ponyboy mean when he says i lie to myself all the time do you ever lie to yourself?

*contains spoilers* When Ponyboy says he lies to himself all the time, he means that, although he knows the truth, he tells himself differently. If he tells himself what he wants to believe, he will begin to believe it more and it subconsciously brings him comfort. Ponyboy uses this reference when saying he doesn't care about Darry and the way Darry treats him. Although it's only implied, Ponyboy also lies to himself after Johnny dies. Ponyboy convinces himself that he's the one who killed Bob and that Johnny isn't dead. It provides some comfort for Ponyboy to just put all the traumatic events he's experienced out of his mind.
