How do you feel about lying?

[jennifer_bloom]

Today I missed an art class cause I slept in and forgot to set up my wake up system and I told the facilitators I could not make it due to a phone consultation with my doctor.

But it was really a 1-10 minute attempt to discuss changes, get updates and make changes to future appointments, not an actual consultation and I did not know they would call me today so that was not the reason I did not go to art class.

I feel unsatisfied cause I lied, even though I got away with it.

I don't lie to people I care about. When it comes to a workplace or something like that I have no problem lying. The world isn't set up for honest people to get ahead in life.

Sometimes lying serves a purpose. I lied to my bosses all the time and I never got caught. Somehow I feel good about that.

I know how you feel, I have done this in the past and it didn't make sense to me why I had to lie it hurt my heart. So I stopped and told myself that no matter how bad things seem I have to always be truthful no matter how small to spare my heart and another's.

Next time be honest you do not need to give full details sometimes none at all, simply tell them the truth or be forward.

Example: I am sorry I did not make it in today, can we plan for the next class...

If they ask why couldn't you make it in:
My alarm didn't wake me
I intentionally slept in
I forgot to set up my alarm
I woke up to late

It doesn't have to be a whole explanation because then you will feel like your making something up. You are human you are bound to make mistakes do not beat yourself for it.

Sorry I meant unintentionally**

It was just a lie. We all do it. ... and if you didn't you'd get the speeches and the reprimands and a bunch of bullshit that is a lie from their part. You took a path of least resistance... just don't make it a habit.

It's not like you lied because you murdered someone or was cheating on someone, in fact that lie you told probably just made everyone's life better... or easier, if that makes sense. Just don't make a habit out of it. Because it will start to work against you if you do.

I know but we all make mistakes. It was a little white lie because you didn't want them to know you missed art class because you slept in and that makes sense. Maybe you should just tell the truth if it somehow happens again because it won't be as bad as you imagine it. I'm sure they're not going to be mad or anything because you don't do it all the time.

One time I faked a doctor's note in grade 10 and even wrote it as "doctorish" i could for a school project that was like worth 40% of our grade.. was battling a depressive episode at the time and just bunked the day to stay at home.. I did feel bad about it though but it was just because it was 1 day late and the only thing that would get her to take my work in was a doctor's note!

There are lies you tell others, and then there are lies you tell yourself. Being honest with yourself is a good way to live a freer life.

And when you do find that you must cover up the reason for lying, you need to face whether you will prevent it from happening again (as in sleeping earlier for example), or sleep in again / find another reason.

Surprisingly, a lot of people don't bother to change even after their lie is exposed (i. e. Cheating, stealing, manipulating, etc.).

[Crankor]

Pointless to me. if someone has to. Lie about themselves then it means they aren't happy with their own actions. I don't live to impress anyone so If someone doesn't like what I say well cool. Good for them for being honest about that. If there something I Dont want to say, I'll just tell them I don't want to discuss it.

I never lie, cheat or steal, even if you get away with something is it worth a guilty conscience? I'm older than most on this sight and realize the world has changed as far as morals are concerned, but I've always imagined a camera on me 24/7 because I'm Christian and believe that when I die that video of my life will be watched to decide Heaven or Hell, this logic has kept my conscience clean.

I don’t like it even though I myself do it at times.
Sometimes it just comes out without even thinking because I feel too bad to hurt someone’s feelings. I definitely feel horrible for lying but at the same time would feel even worse telling them something that would hurt them. Still isn’t an excuse.

[Agape93]

It can be annoying but it isn't inherently a bad thing.

[wolfunknown]

I just don't like lying in general. Personally I never do, and if someone lies to me I really don't like it

[CaptainSmartass]

Nowt wrong with a little white lie.

Simples...

[collie22]

bearing false witness is a serious sin, i'm not sure about lying so not hurt someone. lying to make things easier like a short cut or get an advantage i would feel off cause i know its wrong , we all mess up i know

[Thecubs22]

It depends. I lie only if I'm in trouble, to get out of it. I think it's just a part of us being human. I also say politicians are the best at it!

[Aaditya-Jain]

Sometimes they are nessecasry and sometimes they are useless and stupid and if got caught it degrades the value of man

Or woman...

[TommyMountainFigure]
