What is pathetic, I actually thought about making up something tonight, to avoid "confrontation" but it needs to be the truth, who I am going to hang out with and the fact he wants to talk to me about his wedding, hell he might be asking me to be his best man and I have a bachelor party to prepare. EIther way I will tell her the truth.
Actually it's called a habit. A neural pathway set up in your brain for repeating a specific action over & over again, quickly & efficiently without too much thought required, almost an autopilot response.
However, you stopped yourself. You recognized you were about to lie and you also realize that the behavior isn't good.
Do this enough times and you'll set up a habit of better behavior.
You see it isn't an issue of people not being able to change, you can always learn a new skill set, you can always pick up new habits, you can always choose to do the right thing but you have to remember that it's a choice you are making.
A lot of people are convinced that people can't change, it's not that a person can't change. People can change, people will only change when THEY choose to finally want to change.
