Hello, and welcome back to the Self-Hailer Soundboard.

Last week we recorded an episode on adult bullying.

a piece that felt missing was really the highlight on our own role of bullying.

When we subconsciously or consciously become the bully ourselves, which leads us into

a perceived situation, which also happens to be another direct request from you, the

viewer, which was to do an episode specifically on lying as perception management.

We are continuing our conversation on last week and taking a new route to focus on why we

lie or dishonest to control a situation.

I think before we even speak to the sharing of inaccurate or lies by omission, I think

that's another really common one that comes up, before we talk about delivering that

inaccurate or that untruth to someone else.

that episode, not to allow into our consciousness all of the different moments that I'll just

emit for myself right now.

I too have acted in a bullying way.

What I'm kind of inferencing here or acknowledging here is that sometimes we're not fully honest
