I know exactly what you mean, when I was a child I used to use lying as a tool to get what I wanted, I was so damn good at it that my father who was in sales at the time for a major fork lift company told me that I should go into sales when I left school because he'd never seen a salesman who could come close to the sincerety that I possesed while lying" lol". As I got into my late teens that was all behind me, but I still could always tell when someone was lying because it seemed to me that it was just so obvious. I could look at anyone and tell their basic intent behind any statement, ulterior or whatever. I assumed at the time that it was because I had such experience with clouding peoples perceptions and it was just something I had picked up. I have known for years now that it was actually my ability to read other peoples emotions and in effect project or mirror whatever emotion I needed back at them. Its very interesting to see more than the average person does in this world, but it also can be very isolating since so much of the day to day rhythm of people is full of ulterior motives. But I would'nt have it any other way.
