I may have overplayed the show examples a bit. I chose those examples because they are examples that anyone reading might have seen - rather than using examples from my life. For instance, a psych test question that just stopped me in my tracks:
"People seem to lie to me often."
Do they mean that people try to deceive me often or do they mean that people tell me things that are untrue often? The first answer is false, the second is true.

Whether to deceive or just be untrue it's all lies. There is a spectrum of lying some are way worse than others but still fall in that category. Like if u have cancer u have cancer. It doesn't matter what stage, it's all the same just different severity. Same with diabetes. So lying is the same. As is all MI different levels and spectrums but no matter where u land on te spectrum of any MI u still have that MI.
