>Saying I'm pretending is the same thing as saying that I'm lying. But it doesn't really matter either way. Your claims about what's in my head are mistaken. You are, of course, free to think anything you like.

Correct, I think you're lying. But that's an extreme way to put it. You're more humble bragging.

Again, it wasn't an attack. Even if I say you're lying it's not an attack either. I'm just stating what I'm thinking.
