When I lie, it’s most often a lie of omission. Are you more of a falsehood teller? Or do you lie out of ignorance? Or is there a particular subject you’re likely to lie about? Or a person who you tell most of your lies to?

Do you always tell the truth? If yes what type of lie was that?

    Not always a lie (though when it is truth it’s mostly in a technically-the-truth way), but I like to fuck with my friends by sharing media and misleading them into thinking things will happen a certain way so they don’t see the plot twists coming. Kind of like reverse-spoiling them.

    And if you’re thinking “there’s no way they’d believe you after the first couple of times” - it’s when they stop believing me that the fun starts.

    Throwing in pieces of truth, reverse psychology, lies by omission, alluding to something that A. doesn’t happen but B. is so out there that they start wondering “but maybe…”. I also have honed my control over my facial expressions from my years on customer service so that I can feign confusion or incredulity perfectly on the occasion that they make a correct prediction.

    The friend I primarily do this with is pretty gullible and gets very emotionally invested in stories (that’s how I ended up starting with this), but I’ve been working my way up with less gullible friends to hone my bullshittery to greater heights, and the results have been greatly satisfying.

    Great fun, 10/10, highly recommend if you and your friends like plot-twisty media.
