I'm not very up on Dexter, the show nor character but I have the general outline.  I often think that my awareness of lying (with words, actions, affect) as a *choice* put me on the edge between being a sociopath and being "far from it"...  had I felt that lying was a necessity or in some way ends/means justified I could easily have put whatever talents I might have for persuasion or misdirection in acutely anti/a/mis/dys-social modes.

Or maybe I do and am in denial...  and those who I haven't drawn into my web of lies simply don't see it either.  Being human is tricky...

very much appreciate that style of levelness, for all the ways it
interfered with my childhood deviousness.”

“Harry tells young Dexter to lie to the psychiatrist, to think about what he's going to say, but to say the exact opposite of what he's thinking.”
