Freudian slips are a special case of general motor units knowing truth. Much harder to lie with body than with speech (uses less units). Impossible to lie with your speech if you intend to say the truth. Keep the intention and try to read a lie out loud. You choke.

Self-deception works precisely because it aligns intent w/deception. Also one of the many (many) reasons we're shit at detecting lies.
It's easy to lie when you believe it.

Everyone is something of a habitual liar under this model.
That seems a bit abstract, implying fully customizable. Lots of disparate reasons why people lie. These things are very organic, interconnected.
E.g. narcissistic personalities project etc. defensively. Shame issues...
I've spent a lot of time around people w/borderline/NPD.
I myself have several narcissistic traits. Although I don't have the disorder, I've had a lot of similar problems.
These delusions and malbeliefs are very much compensatory behaviours, not calculated.

We have a lot of gothic romantic notions of people with disorders, that they are scheming manipulators and so on.
This is only close to being true of sociopaths/psychopaths, and even then that is not the full story.
The behaviours are real; the character studies are not.
