When I was in an unusual mental condition I would laugh at movies like True Lies, where I thought any movie where there could be an alternate reality could be a schizo delusion. Were Arnold S and Halloween lady really in a psychotic delusion in the Shutter Island detachment level of psychosis? Afterall that would be a kind of True Lies where the lie is so purely a fake belief that it is truly a lie.
Lol. What I really want to talk about was when I was a kid, I used to tell a lot of lies. Mainly to school and neighborhood friends, people in authority and friends. In a way I believed my own lies. In a way my psychotic problem is believing my own lies in large part. So I wonder is telling lies associated with sz progression in your experience? In a way it is a detachment from reality that people really hate. I don’t lie so much anymore, but realize now that maybe my friends growing up who hated me for being a filthy liar grew into lying themselves as a necessary tool as life progressed.
I think it’s common to lie when you’re a kid and even more when you reach your teens. I for one didn’t want my parents to know what i was doing or where I was going. My friend got me to lie to my parents when I was about 13 or 14 about something and I pulled it off and did it again and pretty soon it got easier and easier to lie so they never knew I was going to the park for example, to go party with the stoners who hung out there.
They didn’t know about my drinking every weekend, I lied about that too. There’s lies of omission too so they didn’t know my senior year of high school I was cutting school two or three times a week until I got busted by the school and they sent a letter to me parents which I failed to rip up like all the other ones. My parents had no idea I was smoking and selling pot.
I mean people lie, that’s just the way it is. I think as you become an adult you don’t need to lie as much but no one told Trump this, lol. As to your kind of lying, yeah, we had one or two kids in the neighborhood who made a habit of lying about everything and I hated them sometimes when they fooled me.
