Whenever I get caught doing stupid shit by parents/police/authority figures and am forced to lie I am so good at it that I kinda start believing it myself... Like when I got caught a while ago taking 13 percocets from my mom's medicine cabinet (she no longer needs/needed them, it was from a surgery from 6 months ago) I told her that I took three 7.5/325 percocets to experiment and that I traded the remaining 10 to a kid who I owed $20 for weed. The real story was I took 4 one day, 4 then next day, and sold 5 to my friend for $20. I was so convincing that the first story was what actually happened that I started beliving it myself. It seems like I can make such a belivable situation in my head that I actually start to belive it. A kid asked me why I was "Busted..." for my facebook status and I told him I got caught taking percs... I took 3 and gave 10 to a kid... about 5 minutes later I relize that wasn't the story at all... Anyone else end up beliving their bullshit stories too or am I just mentally retarded? haha. Also if I actually belive my own story enough to the point of which it becomes true in my head could I beat a lie detector test?
So am I, but there's just times when there's no 2 ways about it, you're going to get caught. When I saw those percocets I knew I was going to get caught... I did it anyway. I forumlated the story so that it would sound less harsh... think about it... Would you rather have your son take 8 percocets, and sell them for profit? HELL NO that would sound horrible. Instead, I said that I only took 3 (in their eyes, that's bad, but not AS bad as multiple times taking it) and that I owed a kid $20 so I traded him pills... soooo much less harsh.
I actually just recently heard this statistic somewhere.... 89.9% of detectives in america can beat a lie detector test. Dunno how the fuck they got that statistic, but it's interesting none the less. btw - I don't really think being able to lie very well is something to be proud of. But yes, I can lie my ass off when I have to
yeah like I'm not bragging... lying isn't good at all. Just saying that when completly necisarry I can lie so well probably stemming from the fact that I end up beliving it.
I think that's called being a pathological liar. I used to be one growing up, mostly because I was poor and stole shit for cash. If you can actually keep reality from blending in with the made up bullshit, it's actually pretty useful.
Nah, I don't lie for the fuck of it, only when necisarry... A pathological lier just lies about EVERYTHING i know 2 other those people are they are annoying as hell...
i know what you mean. its actually basic psychology. Hitler once said "If you tell a lie long enough, people will believe it". its the same for the one who lies as well as the one being lied to.
I know exactly what you mean. I sometimes forget i'm lying. Its potentially scary. Im also kinda spacey...might have something to do with it. Take it easy man.
