I think I blindly belive anything I am told.. like there's blatant sarcasm, but if someone lies to me I would assume they are telling the truth because what does anyone gain from lying?? how do people keep track of their lies? if you have an opinion itsbbetter to share it. what does lying get you? I asked my friend once if they were ignoring me on purpose, and they said they weren't, but only now I realise they could've lied. ehy would someone lie anout that? if they are avoiding me they should let me know so I'd stop reaching out. I don't understand!!! help!!!!
>>34386761Why wouldn't they?Your friend wouldn't win. Rather, they wouldn't lose your trust.People lie to avoid losing something or to gain something. Human beings are very emotional; their gains and losses are also emotional. It could be for honor, ego, to avoid sadness, to avoid shock.What would you do if someone insisted you reveal something like your age and you didn't want to? Even if you told them to go to hell, they wouldn't. You'd simply lie about your age to get them to stop bothering you.
>>34386761you're lying right now, i know it sounds weird, but have you heard about the shadow and the mask?well, i can see yours and i can tell you're scared of not being a righteous man, how to say it correctly, not being a trusted man?the shadow is what you can't stand in others because deep inside is what you want to hide
>>34386868that is true I do have an ingrained fear that everything I do is evil and wrong. I mean more like instinctually, people lie. like if I was asked put of the blue if I had my wallet on me, I'd tell the truth. someone else might have picked up that a random guy asking if you have you're wallet is a sign to lie
>>34386761>what does anyone gain from lying??Are you trolling?
>>34386761Maybe it’s because you’re on the spectrum
>>34386761unless it's an involuntary trait, like people who can't help but lie, it's always to end up better than where you're currently at.I broke a glass? well mom it was the wind or the dog, don't punish meI can fuck another girl while being marriedwell I had job to do at the office and I couldn't leave any earlier honeyetc etcif you're good at lying the sky is your limit, some lies are literally too much of a hassle to confront people over and others are too embarrassing to talk about or too impossible to prove as lies, people good at lying know what to choosea couple years ago I stood witness to a clash between an expert liar and a person with 0 tolerance for lying and it was so interesting to watch.
>some lies are literally too much of a hassle to confront people over.I have a bad memory from a decade of weed smoking, so I don't care to lie. If someone tells me something innocuous, then I believe them, but if people start telling me all the great things going on in their life, I usually think it's bullshit. Either way, if someone is lying to me, it's about something that doesn't concern me in the slightest.
>>34386761I have a job and I lie, saying I'm autistic and take medication, and everyone believes me. I lie about this because it gives me an excuse to work less and make small mistakes.
