Sweet Satisfaction of Catching a Liar

And all you had to do was keep them talking and they will eventually trip up.

They try to crop their pictures, engage in non-detailed conversation, but they always forget the number one rule, telling the truth doesn’t require a good memory.

They also forget that people are creatures of habit. Try as you may to spin a new tale but you fall into your original playbook, you fall into what comes naturally to you.

The sweet silence and stutter when they know that you know.

I enjoy setting traps for liars. It’s like scientific research. Like a game. Sometimes I don’t even care about the lie. I more interested in reactions, patterns, how and if guilt affects them, how they try to make amends.

Setting the environment

Assigning the players

Enacting the stimuli

Making a judgement call and seeing if I’m right.

It’s so satisfying

What I hate more than liars are the enablers around them. They refuse to hold the liar accountable.

I'd hate to witness the retaliation though.

I absolutely love it. It doesn't happen often, but a moment that comes to mind was my ex. She would always ask me to use her phone as a form of trust or something. Every time I acted like I didn't remember what the pattern was. Which on a side note pattern lockes, or even pins are literally the easiest to break into. You can easily figure the pattern or pin simply by looking at the finger smudges. Especially if you clean their screen with your shirt at the right time. Getting them drunk helps too. Anyway she lied about talking to an ex, which I pretty much already knew. I'm not stupid, but act oblivious. I'm constantly paying attention out the corner of my eyes, and actually listening. Also this wasn't just texting an ex with a few words then goodbye. At that point I knew the relationship was over, which I was fine with. I actually did want to be with her anymore either, because she was too much to deal with and relationship was getting boring. After going through her phone entirely and learning every possible secret on her socials, emails, and everything else, she made some kind of cute compliment the next day. I looked her in the eyes, gently took her hands and said "I love you so much, and never trusted anyone this much in my life. Knowing you are here for me, and never would lie makes me feel alive for the first time in my life." Then I kissed her on the forehead. She started to cry, and played off my words like I didn't already know who she was. It was disgusting. I won't go into the rest of it, because it got pretty bad and embarrassing for the both of us. Though in a strange sick way I love how at that moment I was able to make plays she didn't expect and couldn't control. Her dramatic attention craving careless ways were about to fold in on her, and I felt good about if. I still do tbh.

A formidable opponent is hard to find.
