Have you ever turned a lie into a truth?

[ChicoFromThe305]

You lie about something but don't like to lie so you did what you lied about so it's not a legit lie anymore because you actually did it?

Like if someone asks you if you cleaned your car and you reply with yea but you didn't so you decide to actually do it so the results are the same 💀

Some might call it a pre truth 😂

[Account]

I have. I have been invited to a semi-formal event and I was like "Can't. I have a family outing". Then I was like.. *sigh* "I guess I have to arrange a family outing now. 🤣" and I did.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Lmao it be like that, they don't have to know the truth truth, just the truth 😂

[Account]

I had to make it true otherwise the guilt sets in

[ChicoFromThe305]

So how often do you put such efforts to make things right 😂

[Account]

Eh if I say something to avoid something else I gotta do it. It feels a little bit better of at least that is what I tell myself. What about you?

[ChicoFromThe305]

Same basically, to avoid uncalled for issues and to prevent worse results, I don't think lying is right but a deep truth is that not everyone can handle the truth so sometimes it has to be stirred into something similar to get the better results if that makes sense.

[ChicoFromThe305]

I sound like a manipulative asshole right? If so I don't mean it like that 😂

[Account]

No worries that makes me a manipulative asshole as well 🤣

[ChicoFromThe305]

Lol I guess that makes two of us 🫠

[IslaTheWitch]

as a kid...

"did you clean your room?" of course (putting used clothes in the laundry basket)

"did you buy milk?" of course (running to the grocery)

"did you do homework?" of course not... I don't think I did a single homework in my life... :D

now no one asked me such stuff anymore... :D

[ChicoFromThe305]

Lol fair enough

[LiamJHayden]

Well it was still a lie. Like if someone asked me in January 2023 if I'd ever beaten an IM in a chess game and I said "Yes" when at that time I had not, even my doing so later would not actually make my original response true.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

hahaha

Oh I think I must have done that yes, especially for choirs, I don't have specific examples but yeah I'm sure I want many times this "pre-truth" way, good phrasing here! 🤣

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

*went many times

[ChicoFromThe305]

Not many have, or they are scared to admit lol

[Ms_Facesitter]

Kind of. When my parents accuse me of something and I said I didn't so they go 'yeah right' so me annoyed that they didn't believe me, told them that now I was gonna do it and I did. Out of spite :(

[ChicoFromThe305]

What a plot twist 😂

[Ms_Facesitter]

But it worked! Over time, no more accusations 👍

[ChicoFromThe305]

Over time? How many more times did it happen since then? Cause sounds like a few

[Ms_Facesitter]

Yep a few 😂 but it was just very annoying

[ChicoFromThe305]

Lol.

[Smashingdoozy]

I lied about having my nipples pierced because I really wanted to do it then I finally got the courage to do it. 😂

[ChicoFromThe305]

Pre truth indeed lol, but both? You telling me it went something like *pierce* AAAAHHHH!

"okay now the other one" 😂

[Smashingdoozy]

The first one didn't hurt that bad the second one made me cry though 😂

[ChicoFromThe305]

Sounds like one is more sensitive than the other, although the pain timing did you right If the last one was the worst ha

[Smashingdoozy]

I do wonder if the guy fucked it up because that one has always had issues 🤷🏻‍♀️

[ChicoFromThe305]

He was probably hoping you didn't notice, I'm sure that pain is motivating enough to not let it close up tho

[Smashingdoozy]

I like having both too lol I feel like one is weird

[ChicoFromThe305]

Perhaps, even weirder if someone pierced their favorite tit, or pierced the opposite lol

[midnightmoon05]

No, I mean yes. I mean no… oh well don’t know which is which.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Now I'll never know lol

[midnightmoon05]

😆 that’s my point

[ChicoFromThe305]

Why? Lol

[midnightmoon05]

Because it’s fun 🤩

[ChicoFromThe305]

Not for me 🫠

[midnightmoon05]

Ahahaha I know ! I am the annoying orange.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Lol.

[KittygosMeoWW]

Lmao I used to lie about having kids and being a single mom when I was younger and didn’t want to talk to someone and now I have a kid am a single mom 🤣

[ChicoFromThe305]

I've got so many questions 😂

[KittygosMeoWW]

Lmao like?

[KittygosMeoWW]

I was so committed to it too lol I’d have my nieces and nephews answer my phone and say their mom was busy 😂😂😂

[ChicoFromThe305]

Why? For starters, did they ever find out the truth? Are you happy to be a single mom now? Do you regret lying about it then? Why single mom and not a normal mom? I'm sure I can come up with more if I process everything deeper 😂

[KittygosMeoWW]

For one I used to pickup my nieces and nephew’s from school in hs/college lmao so whenever I’d get asked out by people I used to know I’d just say I was a mom 😅 no I don’t regret it because the funniest rumors about me happened and I found out who was spreading them. A normal mom would’ve encouraged a conversation but single was like awww nvm let me not get into it 🤣

[ChicoFromThe305]

Leads to more questions, as expected, so why didn't you want to date? Were you already taken so it was the best way to matrix all the interest? cause high school and college is basically the moments people date and stuff, you've got good planning and are very wise to getting the results you want tho, I'll give you that lol

[TheSpaceGnome]

If you don't say when you did it, its technically not a lie.
it just becomes "i did it in the future".

[electromagnetic]

Nope. People who can do that are deceptive.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Way to make things deep 💀

[Anonymous]

yeah back when I was still a liberal

[ChicoFromThe305]

The fact that you were ever a liberal is wild 😂

[TheRealPepperPotts]

Pre-truth. I'm dying... :D

[Jennz6]

It was a lie when you said it
