    That would, I'd guess, be linked back to your
    attempts to lie, repeated despite your being
    repeatedly caught out, no doubt.

    While I'll grant you the bird brain part, you seem
    to be turning out more chicken than mocking-bird.

    Tucking your tail between your legs and running off
    in abject humiliation being highest on that list, I
    notice.

    Sigh. Not only have I managed to ace the psych class
    where that was defined, I also had the misery of
    putting a psych major through her masters. When you
    try using big words to baffle your audience, you
    might (1) learn what those words mean, and (2)
    consider your audience a bit more carefully.

    And as to going into denial on ones mistakes, too
    bad for you that cognitive dissonance is the
    opposite of a mirror, unusable by the sufferer.
    Otherwise you'd notice that your lying, your
    pretense of being able to analyze English grammar,
    and your admitting your lie and then attempting to
    use the same lie again, are indeed humiliations you
    are trying to hide from yourself by presuming,
    incorrectly, that you were in the right.

    > Good luck in life, you'll need it.

    I make my own luck; you'll find you do the same.

    Anyway, at my end of life, the beginning has already
    pretty much determined the how the rest will go, so
    I'm not looking forward to big changes in luck _or_
    life henceforth.

    xanthian.
