If your goal is to get others to share intimately without sharing intimately yourself, you will tend to seem insincere and manipulative.

- taneq 7y agoThat’s not just seeming insincere and manipulative.
- krustyburger 7y agoYou’re right, of course. But I wonder if the parent is aware other people can detect this sort of thing.
- perl4ever 7y agoIf you can't detect it in some cases, how would you know?
- taneq 7y agoObviously you can't, and the end result is that this dramatically amplifies the effect of catching someone out in an insincerity. The stronger your belief that someone is truthful, the larger a portion of their actions you need to re-examine once catching them out in a significant lie, and the longer it will take for you to re-build your original belief that they were generally truthful. (Statistics isn't my strong suit but I believe this is perfectly in line with modeling a person's trustworthiness as a Bayesian process?)
