If someone asks me what is my most stark behavior or my most quintessential behavior then I would say it is a kind of a psycho behavioral attribute of which I am proud as well as ashamed.
I don’t know where it started or when I first realized it.
I guess I need a semi-fictional example to explain :
Situation 1::
Mr. X : Hey Saaquib why din’t you come over to my birthday last night. I invited you.
Saaquib : I thought it would rain and I wasn’t in mood to get drenched.
Mr. X : Dude..it’s rainy season..it’s raining everyday..you still come to office..and everyone else came to party, even your flatmate…
Saaquib : yeah still I did’nt want to step in rain..
Mr. X : (furious with anger) !!!!
Situation 2::
Boss : Saaquib, why dint you come to office yesterday ?
Saaquib : I was in Mumbai
Boss : But you could have atleast sent me a message
Saaquib : I was in roaming(Roaming :: higher charge for sms/call when your cell is in different state/circle) and so did not sent any message !!!!!! (wtf did i say !!!!)
Boss : (MAD/CRAZY at me ) !!!!
Now though I had a 100 good excuses I dint use any and told the truth because of this wierd thought pocess that goes on in my mind in situations like these. Let me try to explain. While I could have lied to this freind why dint I lie ?? The reason is MY MIND. My mind thought :
1) Well Mr. X has asked me a question and now I have to answer
2) I have approximately 100 good wonderful excuses which shall do the job
3) BUT WAIT !! If at all I tell him the truth he shall fell bad so I will have to lie..
(here the real psycho mind takes over)
4) But why would he feel bad ???
5) Why cant he just accept that I dint want to go to his party
6) Why cant people understand that others may have other important things that attending their parties
7) Why cant he handle the truth
I have to tell the truth
9) Delete all excuses and tell the truth
10) damage done. Mind happy.
So my mind keeps playing these games on me. If I feel that an excuse is necessary in some situation my mind just doesnt listen and spits the dirty truth which just freaks out the person in front.
I desperately need to learn the art of lying.
