I mean as in Spy x Family. Everyone has a secret they hide from everyone else, even their closest people.

Do you think real life is like that?

    What’ll really blow you’re mind is when you realize we aren’t even honest with ourselves either.

    Your mask you show to others is no more fake than the mask you show to yourself.

      That is not universal, some of us have actually thought about things for a long time and are honest with ourselves.

        My friend I’ve thought about who I am for 20 years. You are not honest with yourself if you believe you are honest with yourself.

        People meditated on mountains for decades to be honest with themself. You didn’t accomplish that on Tuesday. Neither have I.

        We get closer but to truly reach that point… we probably zero-sum and cease to be.

        We learn to lie before we learn to speak. It’s part of all of us. You can’t escape it unfortunately. It is the default setup.

            If I could answer that I’d write a book. I’d make million dollars and never count it lol.

            My point is simple tho, it’s not just as simple as “oh I don’t do that anymore. I never lie to myself”

            Dude tell me everything?! Where’s your book? Do you have a commune I could attend?

            This is profound information the world itself has been searching for and you have it? Tell me, please?

        I try to be honest with myself about everything, but I’m also honest with myself that sometimes I subconsciously avoid thinking about things consciously anyway
