Why do people lie all the time about the simplest things? Do you lie sometimes?

Some people are just weird like that.

I had a friend that lied about having tattoos and being a vegetarian. In their heads it’s worth it I guess.

I lie quite a bit when I feel like it’s nobody’s business or if it sounds like they’re fishing for information. I’m pretty open about my finances but there are certain people who just give bad vibes. I also lie about my partners too. I’ve lied and said I wasn’t involved with people when I was 🤷‍♀️

I don’t usually lie to my friends, they know the truth…But others who I’m not close with? Nah. I’ll lie straight to your face 🙃

Ok lol

Some people feel it’s rude to be “too honest” so they “fib” or tell “little white lies” — which personally I don’t like. It’s possibly not to say anything than to do this.


No, I don’t like dishonesty and would never knowingly offer immaculate info. What’s the point?

Anyone who says they don't lie, they just did right there.

However, some people are more honest than others. I've been labeled "brutally honest" by others. For instance, i erased the M in "mass" in science class in 8th grade. When asked if I did it, I said "yes", without hesitation.

That's always been my policy, it's better to just tell the truth than to lie. That's not to say I don't lie, cause after all, I'm human, and humans lie all the time. It's all about whether the human makes an effort to be honest, or they don't

I'm a terrible liar so I don't bother. But as for other people I feel like they lie just for the heck of it

[jack1924]

I am a terrible liar also🥴

[MGTK7]

Yea I sometimes lie about silly things if I dont feel like explaining or if it's not someone I wanna share this information with. For privacy and boundaries mostly

[jack1924]

Gotcha👍🏻

[EmmaMary]

There's an old saying which goes... To be a good liar you must have the worlds greatest and best memory, for you must always be able to remember the very first lie you told!

[jack1924]

I couldn’t agree more 👍🏻👍🏻

[electromagnetic]

It’s become such a norm for people to lie. Even about simple pointless things. I cannot and it bothers me when people do it and get caught.

[ProbablyClueless]

It seems to be a convenience thing. The person doesn't care about whatever is going on, and being truthful would necessitate them being more involved than they want to be.

[Siri137]

People who tell lies are just bad people. Unless it's a matter of life and death, there is simply no reason to lie.

[Sevenpointfive]

i haven't lied for a very long time. i don't see the point. i might embellish

[JacobJordan]

I don't care enough about random peoples feelings to lie

[DrPepper12]

Because he knows he can say anything and the MAGAs will say "TY sir may I have another?"

[dustybiker2]

People who lie about small things are usually compulsive liars, in my experience. Life makes us lie infrequently but most people don't make a habit of it.

[Awesomesauce2005]

I dont lie even if the truth hurts. Its what i would want other people to do for me even though they dont.

[Alessandra111295]

Cause they think we’re like Wiley E. Coyote a super Genius. We by their BS.

[OtterMan68]

because it's become accepted

[jack1924]

That’s one of the reasons

[OtterMan68]

and there's no consequences. See Trump

[jack1924]

Totally agree with you👍🏻

[NathanDavis]

I rather answer with truth...

[NathanDavis]

to questions they didn't ask... lol

[sheikalana]

I do tell white lies from time to time.

[Chazmatazz269]

Not anymore. Had to give it up.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I like to be honest

[TheSpaceGnome]

Lies are too much work.

[mistershy94]

i am a pathological liar and it's ruined my life.

[OddBeMe]

I…. do…mostly because I’m a procrastinator.

[Iron_Man]

No, I don’t
