In this episode of Observation Station, we dive deep into the intricate web of personal lies—those small untruths and self-deceptions we tell ourselves and others every day. Why do we feel compelled to stretch the truth? From white lies meant to spare feelings to the ways we justify our own actions, lying has become a natural, if complex, part of human behavior. We’ll explore the psychology behind these self-crafted masks and reveal how they shape our identities, relationships, and self-perception.
Join me as we uncover common types of personal lies, the reasons behind them, and the impact they can have on our lives when left unchecked. Plus, I’ll offer some tips on how to recognize these patterns in your own life and why embracing honesty, at least with yourself, might just be the key to a freer, more authentic existence.
Stay tuned for Friday’s episode, where we shift gears and explore the curious world of niche hobbies—from birdwatching to train spotting—and why people are so passionate about them.
