Have you ever lied to someone just to avoid a conversation?

i used to do that when i was younger. i cared more about harmony in my friends group than being with the right friends group for me in the first place.

i don't do that anymore. i just blatantly say my opinion without regard for peoples feelings. i figured that's the best way to drive people who don't fit in my life out of my life.

No, I'm a horrible liar so I wouldn't even try. But many people think I am lying when I am not.

[Cynicaldreamer]

If you're an adult with a job, then the answer is yes 😂
Not even going to deny it- I lie to my annoying or overly chatty coworkers about my workload or how busy I am, so they'll leave me alone, or stop talking.

Hey, don't knock it- some people can't read social cues or take hints very well.

[electromagnetic]

No. I kinda just let the conversation die out, or I don’t respond. I try not to be rude about things but more realistic. I don’t see the point in lying.

[el_Te_de_la_Rosa]

Yes. Once a man who had a girlfriend asked if I was interested in him. I lied that I had a boyfriend who lived in other nation (imagination, actually.)

[Peridot25]

Yes!! But, it was worth it. My friend who I had cut off basically cornered me at my job basically demanding why I unfriended her on Facebook.
She did this WHILE we were on the sales floor where customers were around. She was also an employee.

[Peridot25]

I lied why I was no longer friends with her on Facebook. I told her it was a glitch.

[HawkPerception]

I'm not a liar in 99% of scenarios, but yes... I will lie to get out of some unnecessary conversations or consequences.

[IslaTheWitch]

no, I avoid conversations excusing myself and leaving

[Wiredone]

I lied to my parents once. They found out the truth and I got caught. The punishment was worse because I lied. That was the first and last time I ever lied.

[Berweic]

No, it wasn't, I'm a good listener. I like listening to people, chatting and observing, but if I didn't like this, I would probably lie. Xd

[Ms_Facesitter]

Oh yes, that's the introvert life for you. Now I just keep things short.

[laly520]

no

when I dont want to have convo I excuse myself

[msc545]

Yes - I occasionally get sick of listening to people complain.

[Anonymous]

I pretended to have tourettes once to get a woman to stop pursuing me. Does that count?

[thegreenyogi]

The white lies. Sometimes it's needed.

I've lied to someone just to get into a confrontation.
