Do you lie in daily life?

Question

Do you like to say

Daily? I'd say that's pretty extreme. Don't think I'm put into that position DAILY where I have to be very careful what I say to not offend someone or someone's friend or to not be completely honest with someone I'm trying to sell something to in retail.

I like being on the up and up.

The occasions I have lied? Someone asks if I can do something with them and I'm not interested and they're not a close friend of relative. People close to me? I just say, no I can't, too tired, not interested or the like. Just the facts.

Acquaintances? I take the "no offense" route more often, and sometimes a lie might be involved. I know in the past when I've been stressed out, I took sick days when I wasn't "physically" sick, but needed to stay home and time out. Those were lies.

But, the older I've gotten, the less often I find myself needing to fake anything. It's the gift of maturity.

On the OTHER hand, there is the avoidance of telling a truth that someone does not NEED to hear or know. There seems to be a set of folk who think that in a couple both have to tell each other EVERYTHING about their previous lives, even if the everything will hurt that SO.

My only ex kept asking me about how "big" other men were who I slept with. I never told him because it was an absurd question to pursue, all were bigger than him, and how was that going to make him feel? So, I told him, I wasn't going to discuss such a question, and factually, it was NONE OF HIS BUSINESS. We were not together then, and it had no bearing on our relationship.

So, sometimes, lying is called her. It shouldn't be a regular thing. It should be reserved for untenable situations, where truth-telling can be damaging and dangerous.

I don't lie very often but sometimes I hide things. Like I usually wait for my parents to take a nap and then eat some food I'm not supposed to eat such as an extra serving of ramen or a double slice of fatty cheese etc... That could be classified as half lying cause I am sneaking around the house to eat forbidden high calorie food. I also lie to my parents about how much money I spend on things cause I do not want to get yelled at. They will ask me how much something costed when it arrives in the mail and I will tell them I can't remember.

I don't even lie here on the internet when I could say, instead of seven inches, I have a 3-foot long monster dong!

Here is why I just don't bother with lying. IT'S TOO MUCH FUCKING WORK. I can' recall all information I put out there and why on the spot because I'm just recalling the truth. No imagine "your truth" being a bunch of fabricated lies and you got to remember all that shit and who you told it to and all that shit... nugga, I can't remember the god damn multiplication tables or how to spell shit without spell check... I'd be the worst lying butthole out there. A good lier has to be able to pull up information that not just happened... but to also fabricate bits and parts and remember where he fabricated that shit. THAT'S TOO MUCH FUCKING WORK! It's simply not worth the effort.

Once you lie you have to keep lying to back it up. That’s a lot of work and sooner or later your cover gets blown. But I get why some people do this. They often do it “to be nice” or fake it to make it.

The intention behind lying is what I judge more. Some people that consider themselves as so called “honest” really just like tearing out into other people to bully them. Yet those “honest people” can often dish it out but can’t take it. I had real POS former boss like this. Always pointing out other people’s shortcomings but was an obese, ugly sociopath himself.

When I don’t know what to say I just stay silent. Don’t lie but don’t bully either.

Nah I've actually never lied in my life

sawno · Answer

I'm way more honest than most, but if need be I do and can lie. I prefer giving truthful answers but if those could get me in serious trouble I don't. In a relationship I never had a need to lie like that since I was honest and had integrity. But in a scenario where I am otherwise forced to do something I don't want to do with no other way out lying is a useful tool.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

Lying requires remembering everything you've lied about and to whom you've lied... I'm too lazy for such games. Telling the truth doesn't require additional effort :D

Sour-rose · Answer

O yea for sure. Usually on the apps where i'm talking to someone.

Them: Where you from?

Me: (anywhere but my main state)

Them: How old are you?

Me: (younger or older than my age)

Why? None of ya business, bud. :)

pickles77 · Answer

I use to lie but it’s much better when you don’t have anything to be ashamed about and you never have to worry about losing your integrity. It’s just not worth it. And surely you can leave details out or avoid talking about certain things that you don’t want to share without lying.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

Nah I only tell white lies, like "yeah your hair looks fine" even tho it looked like shit you just don't want them to feel bad or insecure because it isn't that big of a deal.

WhiteSteve · Answer

I don’t think I do, not right now. My last job, I had to lie constantly to cover for my bum ass company’s mistakes and overall shortcomings😂

antelope51 · Answer

No, but I'm autistic. It leads to a lot of problems though because people do not want/expect honesty.

Joshydavid25 · Answer

I hardly lie at all.. I'm pretty honest.. That isn't to say I don't lie sometimes, but it's not that often at all.. So basically.. I don't lie in everyday life.

sheikalana · Answer

Sometimes but it’s either when people are nosy or when I need to get out of trouble. Never with intention to hurt someone.

RebelinSteel · Answer

No, it’s not really great to be doing that with friends and work colleagues.

BarryLiverstone · Answer

Nope. Growing up I used to lie daily.. mostly out of fear and insecurity. Then I was challenged to be more honest and probably now the pendulum has swung too far the other way.
