That just blew my mind wide open. Here I am sitting here the last month or two wondering what is wrong with my brain that I can't understand why the word never is an unreliable denial, and here Peter just flat-out says openly, we don't know why it is this way it just is. And I love that. I don't feel so stupid anymore.<br /><br /> About a year ago, my ex-boyfriend thought we had plans Christmas after dinner evening, and we had not as far as I was concerned, he had not asked to see me, so he didn't see or hear from me. The next time we saw each other he told me that he thought I had ghosted him. I told him, I would never do that to you. I would tell you in advance if I'm leaving you.<br /><br />Cut to six months later and I ghosted him. Now why did I use the word never and it was obviously a lie or was it a lie? <br /><br />I feel like saying the word never is like making a vague promise that I had not committed to actually fulfilling or honoring. <br /><br />Would you ever do that? Oh I would never do that. <br /><br />It's just very vague and nothing concrete. Yes, Peter is right, it has something to do with the expansion of time. Like in the history of the Universe I would never do that to you. Whoops, I did it again. My bad.<br /><br /><br />It is a fascinating word because when you hear the word never it sounds like one of the most strongest denials.<br /><br />Humans are endlessly fascinating and I can't get enough of this blog.<br /><br />.Nadine Lumleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591663475427502169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-31308814527522797392014-02-07T14:08:02.973-05:002014-02-07T14:08:02.973-05:00Use of the word 'never' also has within it...Use of the word 'never' also has within it the ability to shut down questions, specific as to time frame/incident, that would be especially stressful to the liar. The " fire blanket effect" on those who accept "never" as meaning "no", suppressing more questions.Lemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15905461861488930140noreply@blogger.com
