What kind of guy I'm like. [He honestly has no idea how to answer that. Psychoanalysis has never been something he's put much stock in, and he's avoided it for himself for about a million reasons. It seems easier to go with the second thing, even if it's still weird as hell to talk about this with someone who's basically a stranger.
You'd think he'd be used to this sort of thing by now.]
Well, you already know about the plane crash. And the Island.
[The Jack Shephard he'd talked to hadn't had any reason to lie about how many survivors there were, or where they'd landed or how long they'd been there. It's part of why he's been more or less willing to talk to Scott when he's been so stubborn when dealing with other people.]
Three years ago, a few months after the plane went down, I was able to help a few others get out, and I promised someone we wouldn't tell the world anything about where we'd been. So we lied.
The rest of it probably sounds pretty crazy. [As in, the why of why they had to keep it a secret. B(]
