Today, I tried lying to my parents for the first time. My mother is a neuroscientist and my father is a psychologist. Somehow, they managed to make me admit that I was lying before I'd even finished. FML

Now become a sociologist and mind blow them. Then blame society.

I've manipulated many psychologists. Not hard.

But have you manipulated a neuroscientist?

You thought you had... but you were wasting your time while they were getting paid. Who's doing the manipulating now? On another note, psychologists are generally trying to help you, so I don't get why you'd be proud of this anyway.

38, you might try to manipulate a psychologist if you're forced to go to one when you don't want to go. Think of all those children sent to psychologist by their parents because they're gay. It wouldn't be crazy if they wanted to lie to be left alone.

I've never heard of that gay child scenario in my country. But if you're at a psychologist for a real problem, of your own initiative or not, you could at least try get to the bottom of it (or even see if there is a problem at all...). Families do lots of weird things, but what ulterior motive aside from helping you could they possibly have for sending you to a psychologist?

@36 I don't understand why you think it would be hard to manipulate a neuroscientist. They're brain doctors and researchers for the most part, not people who learn to detect lies in a clinical setting.

Sometimes kids don't want to be "fixed", even when it's for their own good. Some kids also are pathological liars and will lie even when there's no need to.

I manipulated them because I am on the autistic spectrum, so find certain situations overwhelming (such as many of the situations the psychologists put me in). I had to manipulate them to act in way I find less overwhelming. It's not as simple as just asking them to stop, but I won't explain why, I find the reasons too upsetting to think about. Psychologists can't help me, only make things worse, people with one of the kinds of autism I have simply don't respond well to therapy. It's just law here that local authorities have to give a child 'help' if they're having severe problems with life. Which I technically was.

What a powerful couple. Don't try that again!

Up your game. Whilst you have a bit of a disadvantageous situation before you, you have one trump card. You are their offspring, parents always have certain blind spots here.

Gee I wonder why, they both study the brain and knew u were lying its mind boggling!

You should have known better

I don't know, man. If my mom asked me "What are you doing?" and my response was "Not smoking weed" I'm not sure she would buy it. I get you, though. You do have to lie every so often, it's a part of growing up and shows you have critical thinking capacities.

At least you know they're good at their job.

You could use reverse psychology.
