"In a few sentences, describe the most dishonest person you've ever met."

​I don't know if I've ever met dishonest people.  Or not very.  Hola was a criminal, but to me 'dishonest' means more like 2-faced.  But I think few people are self aware enough to be deliberately 2-faced.  Man, I'm such a snob. 

And that's actually, not exactly what I'm thinking.  I mean I know a guy who's incredibly 2-faced, but what I'm thinking is he's not emotionally dishonest because he's doing exactly what he wants: playing people, then bitching/being polite to their faces then itching.  Wait, this is dishonest...maybe....  Well it's dishonest to other people but it's not...internally dishonest.  Maybe that's how I'm seeing dishonesty - not being true to yourself.

​I don't know.  There was my friend who 'only liked friends who were 100% there for her," aka were her unquestioning enslaved puppets...but I don't think she realised what she was doing, so that was not dishonest....

​YEAH, that's why I don't think this guy [omission] is being dishonest - outwardly he is,  but I think inwardly he's being honest in each separate moment.  So when the person is there he is nice to them.  When they aren't, he's a bitch.  Like a dog - when he's licking his bum he's licking his bum.  When he's eating he's eating.

​I on the other hand often deliberately say what I think is the best thing to say in a situation - not generally lying, but sometimes repackaging things, sometimes omitting things, sometimes manufacturing interest.  It's a sort of out of body/acting experience.  Playing a role.  

​Like this.  Considered words that offer a deliberate amount of my truth.

So maybe I'm the most dishonest person I've met.
