Lying

Post Reply New Topic

I can tell a lie just as well as tell the truth, but most of the time I tell the truth when telling a lie would be more 'advantageous' or 'proper'. The few times that I've lied, however, nobody thought I was lying.

I mostly lie when I'm told to... or when people insist on saying something when I don't have something to say... (I do it so they'd leave me alone)

I am not sure I believe you!

Like I said in a previous thread, I'm a compulsive liar. I lie when there's REALLY no need to.

But don't worry, I don't lie online. The rules of real-life social interaction makes me lie I guess.

I can lie as long as no one else in the world knows that I am lying.

Is there a strange habit where you live to say to somebody that answered a phone call:
"tell that I am not home" ?
Don't you answer like: he said he is not home?

I really hate lying but recently I have had to lie a lot (not on WP though). Not to gain anything from it or make myself look good or anything like that, but because I have to lie to certain people in my life who won't accept the truth. If I didn't lie to them about certain things then it would result in a fight that would send me into a panic attack.

That's funny because I can't lie at all. It is really difficult to deceive others without getting caught by my own reactions, later revealing the truth, or really regreting it later. I also can't steal or cheat. When I try to hide something, I usually spill it to someone later. The only acceptions being my big, personal secrets. The only lies that I'm capable of are small, little white lies that are unimportant.

I'm a terrible liar.

I don't lie as I feel really bad if I do.

I also don't think I'm very good at it.

What frustrates me is that because of my body language and eye contact issues etc. people tend not to believe me even though I pretty much always tell the truth.

As for those people who are good at lying but don't like to do it - that is probably because you are good people who know that lying is not a good thing to do.

I abhor lies.
I can lie if I totally have to but it makes me feel very guilty and uncomfortable so I avoid it.
Lies is one of my big issues, I never trust those who lie.

I use to never be able to lie Ever bout anything, I couldn't even lie about dropping a tissue on the ground, it was bad. One day when I was about 17, I told myself to just lie stop telling the truth, everybody was getting annoyed with me, so I forced myself to lie, now I do lie about stuff like where I was, but then usually about a day later I always confess, and go back on my lies haha.

I've been told that I'm too honest for my own good,which is probably true. I'd only lie if it was
to avoid hurting someone's feelings as I think if you lie to be malicious it will eventually
rebound on you.
