LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE

[Donovan]

I have forced myself over time to be a little more easygoing when it comes to lying, but I still can't do it myself without being extremely troubled. People lie, all the time. I can't stop myself from detecting it, but when I was young even a small lie would be enough for me to immolate a relationship. Now I try to keep it to just a handful of "no-fly-zones" where a lie would destroy things. I usually try to warn people in advance where my hot buttons are. It's an act of trust on my part to show them my vulnerabilities. It's up to them not to abuse that trust, because I only give it once.
