Humans are excellent liars.
And I.
It is the kind of lying that comes from not being psychologically strong enough to be honest with ourselves about who we are.
No, this type of dishonesty is far harder to detect and admit.
I am not talking about deliberate, bold-faced lying.
As a clinical psychologist, I am regularly confronted with the brutal truth that we all lie.
So we lie to ourselves about that, too.
We don\'t like to think of ourselves as capable of lying; it hurts us too much to admit.
