I spent my life lying, which is why I have not left the house, had a single friend or even a job for the past 7 years.

Lying to yourself is the worst.

I liked reading SaBND, it brings out more the incident-less moments when people show their nice side to those around them (since they have all been defeated and tea-party'd at least once), especially Reimu.

And yes, I do lie alot, but strictly in horrible-inducing situations that would cost me more than I could afford.

I gained a partially deserved reputation as a liar in my early teenage years, to the point where nothing I said was even remotely reliable. I had a nervous breakdown and ended up with an obsessive compulsion to be completely honest well into my mid twenties. Think Liar Liar, only I'm not as funny as Jim Carrey.

You must realize that lying to make yourself look better is often paramount to success. If you're willing to compromise the truth you can even get well paying jobs that you're not qualified for.

I rarely outright lie; when I have need to manipulate I usually just get through by not mentioning details unless they're explicitly asked for; and by choosing my phrasing carefully so as to have misleading implications.
If you lie at an important point, you really have to pay attention to exactly what you said, and make sure never to contradict this, forever and ever.

To be honest I needed to lie to get into my course. I was applying for Medicine at all three places and I don't even want to be a doctor to be honest. The only reason I might want to do it is because it's a good wage and a secure job. However they do expect you to have empathy, compassion and other caring emotions and they also expect you to have a healthy social life; I have neither.

During my interview for my main choice I managed to lie so well that for a while, even I thought I actually wanted to do medicine.

My wife lied to me all time. I could tell when she would lie because her voice would change just slightly. I got sick of sifting the lies from truth every single day, and I eventually divorced her.

I decided that I wouldn't lie anymore. I'm not religious, I just decided I wasn't going to lie anymore. I remember when I decided to stop lying- November 20th, 2000. I tried to make it conditional- I wouldn't lie to myself, my family, or my loved ones, but I would lie to people I didn't like.
I eventually realized that people really hate it when you tell them the truth as bluntly as possible, so I simply told the truth as often as I could.

I don't have a moral high ground to stand on. I can't even say I'm righteous enough to deserve a soapbox. I just don't need to tell a lie anymore.

>> No.6951263

I'm going to venture a guess that there were things besides lying that led you to divorce.

If somebody telling lies alone was enough to make you divorce, then you weren't mature enough for marriage to begin with.


Otherwise you're just really, unacceptably petty.

I met someone like that once, they were pretty nice and helped me find my way. Only problem was they had a really annoying friend who looked just like them and always lied, and to make things worse I could only ask them one question.

>> No.6952228

>>6951129

Basically what this guy said >>6951352. Medicine isn't really about rising through the ranks to make it to the top, once you graduate you are roguhly at the same level as everyone else in the country until you start progressing through you professional career. My uni basically told us that we need to be well rounded people because we are going to be speaking to people most days of our lives, be they colleagues or patients. Having that much social interaction forced on you is difficult to manage unless you do have some kind of social life where you meet people, have many friends, have fun doing non work related stuff etc.

They do have a point to be fair, I find the whole 'speaking to people/taking histories/caring for patients' thing quite difficult to do. I can make it look like I can (another time where I have to lie convincingly) but it makes it much harder than the people who legitimately enjoy speaking to people. I'm not a tard, I can socialise fine when I need, I just prefer not to, but this is not conducive for life in medical school. For example, your extra-curricular work and reflections upon events determine your junior career post just as much as your actual grades (in the UK at least).

I really shouldn't have gone into medicine...
