I'm socially challenging because I don't understand the liar's game and don't play along because I wasn't aware I was supposed to, so they get caught in a lie.
... What?
Not OP, but I think I understand what they're saying.
Some people think lying is just a part of life. Especially those who think, "Rules for me, not for thee." Most people won't call out someone in a lie, for the sake of politeness. But that "politeness" is an aspect of social skills.
I was an honest, literal-minded kid with underdeveloped social skills. I had no qualms about calling a spade a spade. Think of the story where the kid calls out, "The emperor has no clothes!" Pointing out dishonesty makes sense for such kids, but doing so also breaks unspoken social rules.
I love memes where coyotes and cats are replaced with different things here.
Showed this to my family, the missus remarked that maybe the dude should keep coyotes instead of cats.
