Well… I’m not sure if it could be called a hit… just read on…
So, there’s a target that I’ve been ITCHING to try honesty on this target… I’ve known her for a few years, and she’s always had a reputation as a liar. I’ve caught her totally red-handed in the past lying right to my face. So, needless to say, since I got my Instant Honesty, I’ve been actively trying to get her close to me while I’m wearing this stuff, just to see how a pathological liar would react to a pheromonal “truth serum”, if you will. So, last night was the night. I was at my local coffee house, listening to jazz, and enjoying my latte thoroughly, when she comes up behind me and just flops into my lap like she always has. The biggest smile crossed my face, and she must have sensed me being kinda devious, because she asked me what that look was all about. I say nothing, offer her some java, she accepts, and we adjourn to the back porch for some conversation. So, we’re out back, and after a few minutes, I notice her starting to get all shifty and uncomfortable. She keeps looking around, as if waiting for someone to come save her. So, I set her in a truth trap. I ask her about something that she lied to me about some time ago, that I always knew was a lie, but could never confirm. She panicked. bad. Started looking very, very uncomfortable, and actually went for her phone, pretended to answer it, said she had to take the call, and practically ran away from me! (we have the same make and model phone, and even set to vibrate only for the ring, it’s still easily audible.) Didn’t see her again for the rest of the night, nor did she answer my “are you okay?” call back to her. So, here’s my theory on this event:
I think that when soemone builds up enough lies in their lives, enough to where they have a self-sustaining network of lies, that Instant Honesty acts as a repellant to them, since they are now so uncomfortable telling the truth, even in inconsequential situations. this -mone makes them to tell the truth, but their warped and mildly deranged social filters won’t allow that, they get confused and have to leave.
Has anyone else had a similar experience to this?
Note: 'm fairly certain that it was the IH that caused this reaction from her. I’ve asked her in the past about the same situation, and she always kept a cool demeanor, and stuck to her guns, making the lie she told unverifiable either way, a “my-word-vs.yours” scenario.
