^ yeah.
Absolutely.

I feel like a better, more rounded version of myself after rubbing against LIEs that I'm very close with. Also it helps knowing I can always make the LIEs i've known laugh-- they get my humor and I feel like they defend me when I need it. Also any bullshit I've ever played before doesn't work on them, they either see it and play along or completely destroy and idea that I have that it's a good way. Plus I love facts and they spout off random facts a lot. Pretty cool.

And Idk, one of LIE friends says I'm extremely loyal, whilst ever trying to see how far I can push his buttons, We prod and coax each other.

And most are pretty intelligent and like to talk about the same subjects I do.
Even extensively about time-travel, space contium, cryogenics..
