one of the bad things about learning that skill is you see how many people lie to you and it makes you sad

it makes you feel like those people think youre so dumb youd never realize their terrible lies until it’s too late.

you have to remember not to take it personally, but it’s a total personal attack.

it’s saying youre a dumb dummy full of dumb and im so smart i can verbalize fiction minus footnotes

and you’ll never know.

its why many agents reprogram that part of their brains.

they get tired hearing the little bell every time an intentional falsehood is levied.
