Sneaky People

You’ll have to forgive the speed at which I process stuff. I’m slower than most at processing stuff but I think I get what you mean.

It’s been said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. When people smile, usually their eyes match the smile but not always.

Deceptive people don’t seem to have that match but neither do depressed , worried, scared, fearfully angry people and I don’t think they are all intentionally being deceptive.

I believe some religions teach that being depressed is a sin. (only brought that up as a point of reference)

People often say just be yourself but in public be a better version of yourself. Would this be classified as pretentious or deceptive ?

Is the term ‘saving face’ being pretentious or deceptive? Humans are complex at times.
I think I agree with all you say if that's possible? :sneaky:;) !
 

I've been sneaky as a kid and still am. I'm certain that dad knew my antics but gave me unconditional pass just because...My mischief as a kid were silly but as an adult when I sneaked out to stop tanks, that wasn't funny to my parents. I would have wrung my neck myself. The result? I became fearless, feisty and very affectionate. I value relationships over material things. IMO, each person is sneaky in their own way as defense mechanism.

Great post. I completely agree. I feel it’s not just a defence mechanism but also a survival tactic. There are plenty of situations in life that calls for one to be sneaky or somewhat deceptive and we ‘all’ have our own reasons for being so when needed.
