Of course, but I was talking about obsession skills. If someone is
obsessed with lying, then they're probably compulsive liars. Of course,
you can be good at lying without being obsessed at it - meaning you
probably aren't a compulsive liar, but an actor, a deep-cover agent, or
whatever. An obsession with lying means you want to do it. A lot. Even
outside of the appropriate venue. It's what you live for.
