Do you lie? How easy is it for you to lie?

Post Reply New Topic

personally, my inner conscience or maybe it's the OCD that stops me from lying I don't know. I feel horrible like I have twisted the facts and that's just wrong if lie. Situations where I hide the lie to avoiding hurting someone make me almost feel like killing myself

On the other hand I don't think anything good comes out of lying...I find it is very easy for me to manipulate truth but I don't. Someone people say that the subsequent lying to avoid the truth about inital lie from coming to light is a big hassle.

I've never understood people who lie why do people who lie... lie?



I can't even lie to avoid something unpleasant like embarrassment or physical pain(my worst fear and the only reason I am scared of death ... This my mom realized when I was young and thought would be a good idea to physically hurt me by beating me up using a belt so I would use my brain to learn math that I was very poor at... I had no choice so I learnt what I could).

Primarily, telling the truth is not only not easy, it is frequently not possible. What you think is the truth is another matter entirely. Great minds have sometimes spent their entire lives unsuccessfully trying to tell the truth.

Lying is a great tool if you can master the proper techniques, but few do.

I have never in my life uttered the smallest fib:

till now

Hyuck hyuck.

I lie as little as I can manage. When I try to lie it is usually even less convincing than when I tell the truth [using the normal English understanding of the expression "tell the truth"].

I will encrypt, I will withhold. I will not lie and I will not be lied to.

I cannot lie. I am serious, my face gets all red among other tells. What I have to do is say something true during the time completely unrelated to the incident as a way to pass it off. It surprisingly works well, but maybe because I got good at it. Mostly I lie to cover my tail or someone else's. I got into so much trouble for being brutally honest; I have walked up to some higher-ups and admitted some things that really got me in hot water.

If a woman came up to me and said, "Does this dress make me look fat?" I would have to think about it, because I like large women and I do not mean to offend them. Plus, if I say no and she really is, that leads to a lot of embarrassment I think.

That is usually not too hard for me, but yeah I only resort to it when I have to. Like I cannot very well announce that I am a marijuana smoker during thanksgiving or christmas dinner. Otherwise half the people in the room would have heart attacks and brain hemmorages. And the only reason I feel I have to lie about that is because it helps me with my depression and anxiety so I dont need some self rightous family member to try and have an intervention.

I can't really lie.

I do however bend the truth or play with semantics;
Person #1 - 'Did you eat all the chocolate biscuits?'
Me - 'No, I didn't eat all the chocolate biscuits.' - meaning that I actually ate most of them.
This is a silly example, but you see what I mean.

The problem is that even when really trying to lie I still put too much emphasis on the words that show-up that I'm using semantics, it's obvious that I'm avoiding answering the question simply and it sounds particularly strange. I also tend to smile, blink or my tone of voice changes too. People who know me pick this up instantly, but even people who don't will spot it if they're paying attention.

Not a natural liar. I find that when I really need to avoid a truth, and I don't have the time to think, that I will lie. Otherwise, I will just stall, avoid, and so on and so forth to avoid the lie. I am a liar when it comes to humor with strangers though. Whenever I tell something about myself to strangers, it will be a joking lie. I will say anything about myself to a stranger so long as it is chatty and amusing(to me at least), and it is natural for me then. I think because I don't see it as a lie then. I am too blunt to enjoy ACTUAL lies. Heck, I don't normally white lie.

The worst thing I do is say I agree with somebody when I really don't. Sometimes when I'm told something from a boss. Or sometimes if the topic is a sensitive issue and I think showing dissent views will get me lectured to.

I hate the fact that in this world I have to lie.I think I have to get into a zone to lie perfectly.Most people I talk to know me too well to not see my lies.I really try not to lie.It hurts my karma and it's very wrong.I kinda wanna cry now.Anyway, some people lie all the time because it's a obsession or they do it to make themselves feel better.

I suck at lying. I've gotten to where I just don't bother. It's not worth the consequences if I am ever found out.

in the real world, you have to lie to survive. Like yourself, VIDEOROME, my own personal experience has been that making an NT feel comfortable about themselves is sometimes more important then being yourself or telling the truth.

my feelings on honesty from a thread in the Love / Dating forums:

Lol this reminds me of a time I visited my brother and he took me to one of his local favorite restaurants. He had me try a particular burger with the Au Jus dipping bowl he thought was awesome.

The waitress asked me how I liked it and I said it was okay. Kind of comparing it to some other burger joints I've been to. I did not know the waitress just cooked this burger in the back and my brother said I was an a**hole for insulting the cook.
