I don't know if I like "playing dumb" I just do because you figure out more things about people that way... Maybe it's an insecurity or something.

But I love when I played dumb for many months or in rare cases years and then I just start saying things they didn't think I knew. 😈

It's almost like time stops when their faces freeze and jaw drops for that 2 seconds.
Yes it's all about insecurities. But at least if you don't have balls don't pretend to have it

Although I see the appeal in playing dumb just cannot do it.

As soon as it's apparent I have to say something. Just have to.

If I expect honesty from myself I expect it from others.

Not gonna judge anyone for lying, personally feel it just reveals more about them- seeing how they react to being pulled up ~shrug~

(Unless it's a personal issue that is blatantly none of my business, in which case even if it's suspected would never pursue the truth that seems tactless and perhaps even bad mannered on my part).

If i know they lied 100% , i bring it up. No point to continue the lie. But then again i'm pretty blunt and have foot in mouth syndrome.

If i am only assuming then no, why create drama without proof. But i will withdraw and observe. I hope that those i have allowed to be close to me wouldn't find the need to lie, but it can happen, people aren't perfect.
Yeah but You test them many times and they fucking fail over and over again, there's nothing else you can do, just sit back and watch them.

What about you keep being quiet for the sake of yourself. When time comes you drop them like a rotten eggs, so it's gonna be unexpected and they can't defend themselves.

Test them? See I don't need to test my friends. If I call someone a friend that means everything to me, I value them as a person and who they are. Sure I overlook things, people make mistakes and thank god for that. Cause I sure make them myself. But if someone was doing stuff over and over that I didn't like or care for, or was that different that my life path, I distance myself from them.

Not necessarily friendship, mostly man/woman relationships but of course it applies to friendships too. You can't trust anyone nowadays and yeah I'll test you to determine are you worth my attention or not. So far people seem to fail lmao

Ya I kinda sensed it was about relationships. I have to have the friendship first then the relationship. So all that crap doesn't even come into play, I'm transparent or as transparent as I can be. I tend to attract those that are similar in that regards. Now in my past wasn't always the case and it taught me lessons. Trust is earned not freely given, and if it gets broken it's very hard to get it back, if at all. Again, if I know they lied 100% I don't ignore it, I address it. Depending on what is said will determine what I decide to do.

Hope whatever happened gets sorted out for you.

Sure...

I understand what you mean.

that's just not what motivates me personally when I interact with someone who lies.

Teaching them a 'life lesson' or having that Aha moment, catching someone red handed or discovering their reasons for deception don't take up space in my own head is all.

The truth is the truth. If it's not manifesting itself in that particular relationship and it's a requirement for meh, I leave the relationship.

If I resented them on some level -then maybe I would behave that way.

But then it's no longer about them, or their deception... it's about who I am and how I choose to deal with that negative emotion generated by that interaction...?

Maybe? I dunno @_@ I'm probably way wrong lol

Playing dumb is what I do best. Makes people drop their guard around me and end up telling me stuff they wouldn't dare tell anyone else.

In the end, I set myself amongst the pigeons. I also love treating people like idiots and hit them with my best lines, resulting in me:

Gosh you hit it man

Gotta love my sun & moon, gives me that angelic harmless look. As long as I keep widening my eyes that is.

They also say "any role you play really well is truly a part of you".....have I corrupted myself?

Unfortunately patience doesn't suit me well. I'll definitely lose interest if I don't get it right now or anytime soon.

I agree - it's a waste of time to "play" with people like that. It should be right from the get go which is how I go in and then if trust is broken I'm done - no need to waste energy playing with people. To me that is pretty sick in a way.
