Short spoken monologue (YouTube) by Jacqueline Elliott contrasting how people reject romantic partners who lie with the common habit of lying to oneself through broken personal promises. The speaker lists everyday examples (starting workouts, diet rules, limiting phone use with children) and frames repeated failure to keep self-promises as a part of one’s identity.

Would you be in a relationship with somebody that lied to you? Everyone's like no way. Well, you're lying to yourself every single day. Have you made some false promises? Sometimes we're stuck in who we are because we've made some false promises. We made false promises to ourselves saying, hey, I'm going to start this and then you do it for a day and then you give up and you start again. Well, I'm going to start working out. I'm not going to eat dessert. I'm not going to eat past seven. Or, or I'm going to start getting home and I'm going to start playing with my kids and being intentional putting the phone down and I'm going to pay attention to them. And then you fall back into that. You keep lying to yourself. That's become a part of your identity. Giving up has become a part of your identity because you can't hold your word.
