mentally healthy lying liars...

i have found an article in scientific american minds that probed into lying. one interesting aspect in this article for me was that they determined that it is people who are able to lie to themselves that were much "healthier" mentally... meaning they suffered less from depression and had high self-esteem. basically, it boiled down to that people with high self-esteem tend to believe in lies about themselves. people who are brutally honest about themselves tend to be highly critical and suffer from low self-esteem and depression.

oh what price i must pay for being such a honest, intelligent, good-looking, extremely sensitive person that i am. this suffering of depression was all about my brutal honesty... but then again, maybe it had something to do with my self-pity... nah... that's rubish. i am too great of a person to suffer from such juvenile feelings...
