“Practically all the relationships I know are based on a foundation of lies and mutually accepted delusion.”
- Samantha Jones
I hate it when people lie, especially when they have the nerve to look directly into my eyes, smile and flawlessly deliver the dishonest monologue. It’s just that sooner or later, I do find out the truth and nothing is ever the same anymore. Practically everything that will be said by the “one time liar” is doubted and it burdens me. I am a very trusting person, when I get disillusioned, I suffer.
The most painful are the most innocent ones. The unexpected lies brought upon by something so shallow, not worth lying for. These are lies like “I can’t make it to dinner because something really important came up.” when it really means, “I can’t make it to dinner because I’m tired and I am not in the mood to hangout with you.” They can be statements like, “I would really love to stay but I can’t” when it really means, “I don’t really want to stay so I won’t.” They are the most disappointing because they affirm what that tiny voice inside your head has been saying over and over again. “You’re not good enough. Get over it.”
Now I know why they hurt most. It’s because they cut deep.
