[ WP ] You are a compulsive liar . Convince me you are not .

In order to be a good liar-the best liar- you have to have a complete understanding of the truth. You have to know what you're hiding from, what you're running from.Within every lie, there is some dark spot, some blurred edge. The truth is always there; you just have to find it. 
 
 So maybe I'm lying. Or maybe I'm telling the truth, because I know you wo n't believe me. Maybe it's both- just enough truth to convince you, just enough lie to hide behind. 
 
 I'm not asking you to believe me. After everything, I know better than to ask you to trust me. But the real question here is: why? 
 
 Another characteristic of liars: we're smart. There's never just one layer, there's always an ulterior motive. The trick is to understand the players, not the game. The game is easy. The rules are simple, once you figure them out. The tricky part, the one that makes each play unique and addicting, is understanding the other person. what's going on in their head? What are they trying to achieve, and what do they think is the best way to get it? 
 
 I'm not asking you to trust me. I'm asking you to think - which is something else to consider. Maybe I want you to believe me, or maybe I just want you to think I want you to believe me. 
 
 Here's one thing you ca n't argue: we're both in this game, and regardless of whether I give a shit about you, you're on my radar. Because I'm here to win. 
 
 So think about it, I'm asking you: what do I want?
