With good reason, many of us have an ingrained moral objection to lying. That moral outrage is, of course, justified: obscuring the truth is a way of avoiding blame, abusing trust, or deceiving people. No one is denying that lies with an agenda are wrong.⁠ ⁠ But lying for the fun of it with nothing to gain? That's spicy. That's outrageous. That's like taking whatever nonsense your head is filled with to the pub and pouring it out on the bar to see what happens. 😈⁠ ⁠ There is something fundamentally silly and naughty about lying in this way. It taps into a mischievous side of ourselves that's not always given space to shine.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ But what do psychotherapists think of this behaviour? It isn't what you'd expect... read how lying for fun can be good for you, actually(!), at the 🔗 in bio. ✍️ @sadhbhsadhbh⁠ ⁠ 📹️ via @holymorridge on TikTok
