I've never been able to convincingly tell a lie, not even harmless little white lies.
I feel this my be down to me possibly having mild autism / aspergers.
Prior to me wondering if I may have mild aspergers, I just put this down to my moral compass (of being or trying to be completely truthfull.)
So..., Does anyone else feel they have the in-ability to lie about something ?
I can lie, but its too difficult... I find that the moral compass thing, is sort of a tool to make stuff easier.
The only thing I lie about is opinions. I will sometimes pretend to have an opinion other than the one I have in order to benefit a situation (such as not hurting someone's feelings, or getting through a set of tasks that someone else thinks needs to be perfect while I am willing to compromise in order to accomplish)
However, factual things... I will not lie about. I will refuse to answer at times, but I wont lie.
