Distorted reality and the stories they tell

Does anyone else realize that with the way they distort reality with you when idealizing and devaluing that maybe all these horrible things they've said about people in their past are likely gross exaggerations at best or outright misrepresentation. Mine has said all of these guys she's been with were ugly or stupid or this or that, despite the fact that she willingly slept with them and spent time with them. I'm coming to the realization that these were probably just normal guys who were going about their lives and briefly crossed paths with a very mentally unwell person who is now painting them as awful in some way when they were probably just.. average guys.
