- rustynails 10y agoI drew a similar conclusion. In order to lie to someone else, you need to believe it yourself. Steve Jobs' reality distortion field is an example. I found for myself that if I had self doubt, I could become paralysed with fear. If I didn't ask myself if I could, then I made it happen. This isn't quite the same, but it's very similar. This attitude required some deceit as I rarely said I couldn't do something. This could be linked to be the Peter principle.
