I find it impossible to lie. I just can't keep a straight face or the tone of my voice is really strange.

I don't anymore, I'm terrible at it anyway. I did try to lie to my car insurance dealer that time I hit a deer but they saw right through me. :x

I hate lying but, the whole world lies to us and everyone daily here's how.

Car sales men -the most obvious
Resume's -very common
News - well at least the OP page and politics
At patry's - to gain power and status
Marketing - they'll say anything to get you to try thier product
Income Tax - it amazes me how many get by with it
Dating - the one place people shouldn't lie but do
Coupons -in the paper are a rip
Employment agencies -who will tell you anything

I never could figure out the gray line between regular BS and lying. Mabey some of you could tell me what the difference is cause the way I see it, its almost the same.

J.C.


BS cares nothing for the truth, lies or lying does care about the truth; BS is creating something that has nothing to do with the factuality of a subject or issue, lying has a subject or issue that you deny the truth for in fabricating a lie. Misinformation of disinformation is similar although it is more truth of what the cover lie represents for press or adversary. Untruthfullness is a lie, but not so in the case of BS, BS is to inflate one's ego about which one has no experience to back up. half-truths and leaving out all facts is lying by omission, they are not even part truths, they are bold-faced lies. I never could lie convincingly as I would always return to upheave the lie and supplant it with the truth, if you cannot be true to yourself, where you are mostly yourself then you can become lost. But creating BS stories - fictions is not the same, if they never had part in fact or truth. However, I actually am self-defeatist in the lengths I will go to tell the truth, admitting shortfalls to my own peril, they may as well be lies in the looks I get, what insanity is this... - is how I feel after dispelling falshoods.

I can lie and I'm very good at it. I do not like to do it though, and will pick when I lie very carefully. The truth in most cases is always better even if the outcome isn't good.

I can.
I don't like to so I don't do it often.

I've got AS and I can lie and very well but It's became very bad and I found myself lying constantly about 'small' and 'big' things. I almost lost a friend because of it and I've found myself hanging onto the friendship by the skin of my teeth. I used to be incapable of lying but at school I mixed with bullshiters and started telling small lies to teachers to skip lessons etc and then it grew and grew and I'd be telling lies for the sake of it and worse at one point I believing my own lies, It is so not worth it and the truth is what everyone wants to hear. I'm in the process of quitting lying and I'm doing very well and I think before I speak my mind now, I'm not going back to old ways no way, The truth takes little to no effort and lying uses up all your energy. Aspies are born to tell the truth, I want to go back to being so truthful.

I find it really hard to make myself lie. I hate lying and don't do so of my own accord, even when people don't actually want to hear the truth. On the few occasions in which someone (normally my mother) has basically forced me to try and lie I've been told that people can see right through it because my voice and body language goes all wrong.

I can successfully tell white lies. Lying, however, is something I tend to refrain from.

I only lie if it helps me and doesn't hurt anyone else, and I'm a little good at it.

I have lied in the past to get my ass out of trouble, but I am pretty honest for the most part. It's a lot harder to lie now than when I was younger though. I prefer not to lie otherwise I will feel really guilty and confess, even when I could totally get away with it.

Yeah I learned to lie in my early teens and now I try my damn right best to refrain from it to avoid hurting others again. :)

I always tell the truth, this policy has made me very lonely and i keep waiting for my reward. I get so hurt when my friends lie to me. I am a martyr though. If everyone was like me then the world would be a much better place to live. The thing is i believe everyone and am extremely gullible. I pull people up for lying and have even dishoned best friends for it. I need to be around the truth at all time. Us apies operate on a purer level although it comes accross as we are mad. People just dont understand how to live with truth. It's nice to keep my dignity and know i am a diamond floating in a sea of s**t. I would rather be pure and lonely than lie and be popular. I will never lie or change. It's just not me. Without the truth i would be dead inside. Aspies unite. We should be running this world. Our sensitivity, HONESTY and ability to see the soul of the worlds pain is what the world needs to be at peace. AS is not a disability. It's an asset. We're not being used by society properly . I have a vision but i need some support, money and likeminded people to help see it through. It might be a whacky plan but i recon if i ran the world i could make it a much better place. These lying idiots in charge abuse their power, are motivated by greed and ego and are small minded thinkers, unlike us. If you lie to me then your a thief of my soul.

No, I don't. It's so wrong and confusing when people do it.
