I have self-reflected on this a few times. They “say” (I say that in quotes because it’s one of those “human nature” generalizations) that the average person lies approximately a hundred times a day but doesn’t notice. I was confident I don’t fit the mold but took a closer look at that just to make sure. If we’re talking about things that are strictly lies, none under average circumstances (on the average day, I don’t even speak thirty sentences), but many people have had a thing or two to say about me and semantic liberties (could use the golden compass right about now). My lack of a strong social life (not by choice, I’m not good at formulating my end of a chat) or any wealthy, famous, or powerful position probably saves me from lying anywhere near the amount of times the average person lies.
