Lying and you

[Robert0288]

I can pretty easily spin a web of lies and remeber them for years. Back when Soldier of Fortune 2 came out I didn't want to give it to my friend because I havn't beaten it yet, so I made up really gory parts that I know his parents wouldn't allow.

3 Days ago we watched the movie Shadow company about mercs and Private military companies and they had a clip of SoF2, I turned to my friend and said "Wow I hoped they would have atleast showed that really gory part" That was a lie from 8+ years ago and I still remeber it.

Then again I usually tell the truth as its much easier.

I lie a lot. Well, in real life anyway; I'm truthful here on The Escapist though. If I had a conversation with you in real life, there is a good chance I lied to you during that conversation. I don't even know why I do it. Sometimes, when I'm done talking to someone I think: "Wow. That wasn't even remotely true." Normally I tell the person I lied, I tend to feel bad after words if I don't. Although, I have no problem at all with white lies of any kind.

 

[GreyWolf257]

I hate lying. I honestly can't remember the last time I even made a white lie.

 

[Angus565]

Would if I said That I lie about everything?
OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE?

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

I used to lie alot. Now I can't lie even when I want too...even when perhaps I should. I find that things are more rewarding this way.

 

[Virtual_Dom]

If Im in trouble, I bullshit like there's no tomorrow

 

[Levitas1234]

Honestly i never lie, well i will lie to authorities of course but that's it.

 

[Nuke_em_05]

I don't lie. Less out of moral principle, and more out of it gets too complicated too fast and I suck at it. Honesty is usually easier. More painful up front, but less in the long run.

People lie all the time. According to Lord Robert Winston, people lie on average about three times a day. It depends on what you count as a lie. Personally, I would count a lot of facial expressions as deceitful. If someone is talking, it is only polite to pull various faces to show you empathise with what they are saying (frowning, tutting, grinning etc.). Most of these are exaggerations - I don't really care what they are saying, the faces are just to make them feel understood.

Now and then. It depends on the context.

 

[UnityRiot]

I lie a lot. About 80% of the things I say out loud are a lie. Sad part is I don't even notice I'm doing it anymore.

 

[slowpoke999]

I lie when I don't care about the consequences, just to save me time or because I can't be bothered arguing, works even better if it's a question no-one can ever find the answer to.

"Hey mate can you do some mundane task that I can easily do myself but by asking you to do it you'll feel like you have an obligation"

"promise me you'll go to bed before 10 PM"

Sure thing.

It's like on South Park where Stan lied when he was with PETA.

 

[MickeyAbe]

sure I lie all the time, I don't think its because I'm a bad person, it's just saying "I'm Fine honest" seems the easily option then trying to explain why I'm feeling low at that time.

I don't tend to, but I often hold back bits of the truth, so I can decieve and feel morally correct at the same time

Ya thats pretty much exactly why I stretch the truth (and hold back bits too). That way I can side-step the whole moral situation and still get away with it. That and, like I said, its become a game.

I don't tend to, but I often hold back bits of the truth, so I can decieve and feel morally correct at the same time

That is what I like to call "refusal to disclose sensitive and/or incriminating information".

 

[Infinite Betsy]

I hate lying. I may tell a little white lie from time to time to avoid hurting people's feelings or avoid unnecessary confrontations, but I keep that to a minimum. I hate being lied too--especially when it's from someone who is a good friend or something. It makes you feel like you don't really know them.

 

[Kud]

I lie all the time, im very good at it too.

 

[crimson5pheonix]

I'm honorable! I only lie when it would advance my goals or provide me with entertainment, and nothing more.

 

[JohnnySex]

I lie when it's useful, which is a lot of the time. I've gotten very good at it.
