I don't know anything about you or these pills but typically one would tell a "lie" like that as part of their overall campaign to cope. The point isn't to deceive others but to bulwark a worldview that emotionally benefits the person to hold in some way (ie, "I was smart to take these pills, wasn't taken advantage of at all")

Ok, well, no need for me to cope with anything. I'm not being taken advantage of. It's been working for six years.

It also kept tigers away for six years! Personal anecdotes are not meaningful when it comes to something like medical efficacy.

See, the simple fact that you're telling me those things when clearly I don't give a single fuck tends to suggest the contrary, but of course it's not conclusive and again, I don't give enough fucks to actually find out.
