The Best Way to Lie
Lying is a skill like any other
For me personally, the best way to lie is by creating a story that you agree on with yourself in advance.
- Something that you can blend into the narrative of your life as easily as eating a slice of toast
- Something that becomes as commonplace as breathing and pushes you forward towards the outcome that you are looking for.
At the present point in time that for me relates to pretending to be happy at work. I have reached the dreaded one-year hump and am struggling to get past it. To stay motivated and see the positive, to move beyond the pettiness and tell yourself that this feeling will not last.
I wish that I did have a switch I could flick in order to transplant a personality on top of mine that could get me through this but I cannot.
I am terrible at lying to the point where I wear my emotions on my sleeve. People can easily see when I am not happy and whilst this only accounts for 10% of my life, it is still noticeable enough to the point where I am still yet to figure out how to conquer it.
Why Lie in the First Place?
The need to hide in plain sight is a key consideration that all of us humans need to figure out, at least at one point in our lives anyway.
