Arrogance vs. Confidence
Many people struggle differentiating arrogance and confidence. I thought this was a reasonable explanation of both of them.
What do you think defines each?

The news is slow and I don’t have any good stories to share with you, so I thought I’d open this up to a Q&A Forum. If you have any questions, comments, or ideas — this is your place to share them, and I will try to answer as many as I can.
Understanding Emotions
/in Uncategorized/by Eyes for LiesA reader sent me this video of a woman in Canada who has chickens in her backyard and is facing legal troubles because local legislation says they aren’t allowed.
The reader found the chicken owner’s response odd. The reader expected the chicken owner, Marianne Kalich, to be upset or frustrated, but instead she was smiling, and asked why Kalich’s response was inconsistent.
When I watch Kalich’s response, to me, it is very consistent. This is a woman who feels pride for how she handled the situation. She felt she was a reasonable neighbor asking kindly for approval before she got the chickens. She also knows she keeps the chickens well cared for (so there is no smell) and that she hasn’t harmed anyone (in her mind–I’m not here to debate that). Hence it is apparent that she sees the legislation as ridiculous. This is why she is smiling and it makes complete sense.

Mady and Cara Gosselin
/in Uncategorized/by Eyes for LiesThis is truly an awkward video to watch with Kate Gosselin and her twin daughters. I don’t think you need any special ability to see Kate is completely inconsistent in this video, and is being very domineering and controlling.
You can’t help but feel bad for the girls to be put on the spot like they are here. I was glad to see Savannah Guthrie call her out on it!
