What I don't get is why people feel the need to lie about stuff like this. It's so easy to check and it makes that person look like a loon. I can think of a couple of reasons, although they're not good ones. 1- the person has low self-esteem and few (or paltry) real-life accomplishments to brag about, so he makes them up. 2- the person has a socially maladaptive behavior pattern of lying about almost everything. Kids often develop this when they realize that their parents don't really have eyes in the backs of their heads, it becomes a game where lying to mommy makes them feel powerful. The vast majority of kids outgrow it. DSK |
