. . .one of my CBT classes I was in, along with social skills... they would teach you how to lie and how you needed to lie in certain circumstances. [. . .]

Unfortunately, they weren't teaching you lying along with or as part of teaching you social skills. Unfortunately, lying and knowing when to lie is *most of what socializing IS* for socially connected people.

See this 20 minute TEDglobal talk (Link ) for more depressing info on lying... :/

Yeah it is depressing, so if I get accused of something I didn't do, if I say I did not, I am lying and if I don't refer someone by their name, I am lying. Pamela even implied we all do the wrong body language because we're human. Just a reason why I hate body language.

It's also the exact opposite as a child. As a child, I used to lie a lot, make up stories, exaggerate to stimulate my brain.
