Everyone lies. I just never understood how much. Just learning basic things to look for, only scratching the surface of this field, I have already seen so much- more than I needed to or wanted to.

I can see a couple where the girlfriend is cheating. I can see teachers who praise their students but feel only disgust. I can see a guy about to start a fight with his friend. I can see nervousness and shame in lecturers and wonder why.

What’s worse than seeing now, is knowing how much I’m not seeing. It makes you wonder- what else are they hiding? Was what they just said a lie (true most of the time) and why are they lying to you? Who can you trust to be honest with you? Did someone just see through you? Do they know your secrets?

It’s a headache to think about.
