Any books on how to make good lies and become proficient at telling them? I need to make up a good few lies to cover a 2 year gap and get a job that pays well enough to make up for the lost time.

The process of applying for a job is more cucked than sucking a BBC after it ravaged your wife's pussy. The inauthenticity is genuinely repulsive.

i recommend "spy the lie". it does not teach you how to lie but how to detect it. So it serves your purpose in an indirect way.

The hard part about lying is not the lying itself. It's trying to remember what you have lied about and to whom. It's devastating what it does to your psyche in the long run.

It shouldn’t be, they all lie and embellish how good the job is, no shame in playing the game especially if you gotta eat! Sorry not sorry, fulfill your end of the social contract and we’ll talk, employers!

Imagine thinking consoomerism gives you insight into the world. People are the same everywhere. Sorry friend but eating tapas in Barcelona while sipping a beer did not open your third eye.

>Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.

I was a neet from 20 to 27yo and now at 32 i've a well paid manual job.
All I've done is pretend to be dumb for 1 and an half year in order to get a good contract and all the easy tasks.

Based. I hate people that put "traveling" as a hobby in their media bios. It just reads as "I'm rich and really boring". If you must travel, read about the history of the places before you visit so at least you know what the hell you're looking at. Or just read about it, much cheaper, and probably more productive.

Not really, just sublate the lie into your long term personality; do not tell lies to people, tell lies at people. When you lie it should be your truth from that point onwards no matter who asks

Just the mere thought of lowering myself down to the submissive position of being a job applicant and trying to seem acceptable from the perspective of some HR whore in order to not get filtered gives me haunting chills

Employers will ask you what you did in that gap, and since the entire recruitment process is grounded on embellishment, lies and relentless conformism there are few honest answers that will satisfy an employer.
