SE01 E04 Things We All Do But Lie About (Don't Get Defensive)

from The world through my eyes · host Matt Fairhurst

The Truth is Out.Welcome back to The World Through My Eyes. This week, I’m calling a ceasefire on the "perfectly curated" lives we pretend to have. I’m diving deep into the tiny, harmless, and occasionally shameful lies we all tell just to survive the day.If you’ve ever told someone "we should definitely meet up" while mentally blocking their number, or if you’ve "speed-listened" to a voice note just to reply with a fake "I get you," then this episode is for you. We’re talking about the digital ghosting, the Google-induced health scares, and that sweet, sweet hit of dopamine you get when someone cancels plans you didn't want to go to anyway.Warning: If you find yourself getting offended during this episode, it’s probably because you’re guilty. Stay mad, or stay honest. Your choice.I want to hear from YOU:I’m opening up the "Confession Dial-In" for a future episode. What’s the most ridiculous lie you’ve told to get out of a social event? What’s a "gross" habit you do when nobody's watching? Leave a comment below or message me at [Insert Link/Social Handle] to share your secret. I’ll keep you 100% anonymous—unless your lie is so good it deserves a trophy.In this episode, we cover:• The "Notification Bar Ninja" move.• The 1.5x speed voice note lie.• Why we pretend to care about the 14th-century wool trade.• The relief of the "cancelled plan" text.• Ignoring the doctor and trusting a fruit bat forum on Google.Don’t forget to subscribe, share this with a fellow liar, and leave a review!
