This Morning: Hard Topic Tuesday — The Person We Lie to Most

from This Morning with Tiff Potter · host Tiff Potter

It’s Hard Topic Tuesday, and today started with a surprising idea I saw in a video: the person we lie to the most every day… is ourselves.And not just occasionally. Apparently, it happens a lot more than we think.So we talked about what those small, everyday self-lies actually sound like:“I’m fine.”“I’ll do it later.”“This doesn’t matter to me.”“I don’t really want that anyway.”The kind of things we say to keep moving, stay comfortable, or avoid admitting something might need to change.From there, the conversation opened up into what honesty with ourselves actually looks like in real life — and why it can feel so much harder than being honest with anyone else.In this episode:the surprising truth about who we lie to most each daythe quiet ways self-deception shows up in everyday decisionswhy honesty with ourselves can feel uncomfortable but importantand what it might look like to notice those moments instead of brushing past themIf you’ve ever had the feeling you already knew the answer to something but weren’t quite ready to admit it yet… this one’s for you.If you want company, press play. 🤍https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS3gybNwf5A&t=2307s
