Not exactly, I am a truth teller l thought honesty was the best way, the only way. I was not fake.
Now I can be fake. Its about asking myself:
'What is the best way to get what I want from this person Flattery? Sympathy? Agreeing when l don't agree?

I like to think I can morph into what l need to be, mix with all sorts. Put the mask on.
Not as good as my ex of course he had extraordinary abilities of perception. He watched people, listened (while pretending not too) looked for vulnerabilities.
Like a tiger he would study his prey, acutely aware of every sound every nuance, smell, body language. How would this person be of use?

I was so naive before always looking for the good in people always believing l was at fault.
Now l look for red flags. I understand some people do not really have good in them.
I. Am. Not. At. Fault. Any more.
