How many times have you told a lie in your life? Was it for a good or bad reason?

The only lies I have told have been ones to sugarcoat certain situations. I am not a fan of hurting feelings if I can avoid it.

You often have to lie to survive. That is unfortunately life. Nobody gets into heaven.

As a relationship coach, I'm all about honesty and open hearts. But let's face it, we've all thrown out a little white lie or two, like when I told my daughter broccoli ice cream was a thing. It's usually to keep the peace or spread a little happiness. Honesty is key, but sometimes a dash of charm doesn't hurt! 😅✨

I lied almost constantly for most of my life.
It didn’t work for me. It occurred to me that i didn’t need to just stop lying, but i needed to make amends for the nearly endless lies i told up until that moment.
I have not lied in nearly twenty years.
Maybe i’m still behind the eight-ball. Maybe i’m square. Maybe i have some ground to cover. It doesn’t matter. I’ll never tell another lie in my lifetime.
It’s just not worth it.

I've told my parents lies a good number of times in my childhood to avoid unnecessary conflict or consequences and I don't regret it.

But for others who can't really affect my life, I see no reason to. Especially for partners. Although a partner affects my life, to build a strong relationship, you need to be completely open and honest with your partner

[AviatorTom]

I rarely lie. In fact, I can't remember the last time I lied. It was probably for a good reason.

[Simslover92]

Unfortunately too many to count. I hate hurting people's feelings.

How many times have I lied?

I couldn't give an accurate number even if I tried. I've lied to strangers, family, friends, lovers, and myself. Anyone who says they don't lie is in that very statement, lying.

Sometimes you lie to protect others from an uncomfortable truth, sometimes you lie to maintain relationships, sometimes you lie to avoid conflict, sometimes you lie to encourage desirable behaviour, and sometimes we lie because we're avoiding the truth.

Hell, many times people actively lie thinking you're not.

Most people spend their entire lives simply trying to find out the truth about themselves let alone being honest with others.

And you know what? There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Truth is a funny thing. It's subjective and often completely meaningless.

I unapologetically tell lies all the dam time.

You just made me realize the last person I lied to was myself... i would say it felt good but I'll regert it later. Lies only hurt us, even the good ones, it's just a matter of when. Like being nice to someone you don't like because it's the right thing to do... that then causes them to hang around you more. Their pleasure shouldn't cause you pain. lies create mixed emotions like that. I hope to be more aware of when I lie to myself now. Thank you!

Who tf knows.

Probably told lies I can't remember, biggest one - "he didn't hurt me", "I'm fine", "life is good" - "you're a good person". I prefer just not saying shit, opposed to lying but it happens and I am not counting each and every moment - putting a line down.

Oh, I lied again this makes it nr xxxx in my life I've lied. 😂😂😂

[NordicInScandinavia]

Last lie I remember:

"Oh your child was such a PLEASURE to have this weekend" - while it was HORRIBLE.

[TrimmedTip]

Countless times — like all humans. Some lies were to protect feelings (“That haircut looks great!”), others to avoid trouble. Most were small, a few I regret. Honesty is better, but life’s messy. We learn. 💬✨

[Shiprex]

There's lies and there's omissions that could be seen as lies so it's a tough one. HOW news or information is passed too can almost be deceptive so there's that too.

Too hard to tell never mind count.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I'd be lying if I told anyone that I never lied in my life.

My lies were mostly deliberate and meant to protect something or someone.

[MemeSupreme]

a lot but its usually little stuff

its to help with social situations like i'll sugarcoat things about myself or others so its not awkward

[petitedollbabee]

Impossible to keep count of. Always to protect someone or something, though. Never just for the sake of lying.

[jazzy34]

Too many to count. Also, when I'm dealing with a stranger or someone I don't know well, I'll sometimes go by "lie to stay alive."

[Lliam]

Hah. Millions of times. Mostly to get out of trouble.

[qwerty2469]

Countless. Good and bad is a social construct. Too many people cry over lies. They should cry over hurting people deliberately. I've done that almost as much. But I've never hurt anyone that didn't deserve it.

[Miristheiss]

I am sure more than I can recall. Hell, as a kid I lied all the time.

[exitseven]

I was in sales for 20 years. Too many times to count.

[elizamichale1]

Well a lot of times both for good n bad... but i try not to as much as possible

[TonyMetal___86]

Never recalling myself telling a lie, i'm always honest!

[zagor]

Sorry, I didn't keep a click-counter to keep track.

[Dongie]

Only God knows. Most for good as in protecting someone.

[hellopeoplee]

I lied about the smallest stuff making my life sound more interesting it wasn’t a bad or good reason lol

[Anonymous]

Several times, mostly to avoid unpleasant situations.

[Anonymous]

This is a pointless question. Who the hell keeps a count of thier lies. Suffice it to say, not very much. I hate lying and I hate liars. It would ONLY be for a good reason.

[mysteriousNicholas]

I guess no one's perfect 😜 I try not to lie 😂🤥

[DrPepper12]

Good bad and all in between

[Alex-Snow]

No idea probably a bit of good and bad reasons

[WonderingManII]

I don't know I try to avoid lying.

[lorenzomichael]

I always tell the truth even when I lie seriously.

[yuviii20012]

Many a times but only for good.

[BarryLiverstone]

Too many times
