Be honest, Do you lie?

We've All said a little lie or two just to avoid trouble,
but be completely honest with yourself, has it become your "If all else fails, LIE!", has it become something you do so much that you forget you're doing it?, do you lie?

---Clarification---

Lets say the last 3 years, how many lies have you told in the last 3 years?

Also I'm Not talking about big lies, Im talking about all of the lies, Huge or so small you might not even notice you lied

Everybody lies. 'Tis a fact. I used to lie like nobody's business, but have since tried to stop.

When you realize that reality is a patchwork of lies, images, and misconceptions - and can still go through your day by day activities despite that - you'll find yourself asking why you would even bother mentioning the hypocrisy.

In other words, don't look at lies too hard - you'll still function with them around.

I Understand people lie in this world,but For the past year and a half, i've said nothing but the truth; no matter how painful, but tho it hurt at first, i feel closer to my familiy, i feel like they trust me more, and i trust them more for it.

i guess my point being, "The truth shall set you free"

I hesitated between answers 1 & 2, but yeah, I do lie an awful lot. White lies, mostly, often just to fuck around with someone and see how dar I can take it without them realizing it. Does that make me a bad person? I AM honest with important stuff and about the sort of person I am, feelings etc at the very least.

I lie if I think it is the best course of action. However, I also tactically tell the truth when people would expect me to lie, thus earning points for honesty.

I tell the truth, but always make it ambiguous as if I'm lying. If lying seems to be the best way to diffuse a situation, then I find a way to word the truth into a lie without it being a lie, if that makes sense.

I've lied so often and for so long I don't remember what the truth is.
From a young age I was in areas where personal safety was not assured, and in order to prevent unnecessary physical and mental abuse I would lie. And lie. And lie again. Until I became extremely familiar with it. Until I could no longer remember that the lie itself was just that, a lie.

I now lack the ability to come clean when asked something. It's not that I don't want to, I just do it on reflex, then I have to stick with what I've said so as to not bring up the fact that I'm not a trustworthy person.

I can keep secrets, hold money, account numbers, private and privileged information. But I won't say any of it. I'll simply keep being what I am, until I figure out 'who' I am.

It's not that I'm 'untrustworthy' in the sense of the aforementioned, its simply that, when people realize they've been lied to about various things, they will come to a sense of unease and begin to wonder just how far the crack in one's personality goes, and eventually will delude themselves with the 'truth' that obviously this person is leaking secrets, stealing things and breaking vows, etc.

-The worst thing about the lie you can not back out of, is knowing that eventually it will become the truth which you will follow-

For the last ten years, or so, I have made it a rule not to lie to others, unless the truth is more damaging than a lie would be.

-For example: I never told my mother how awful she looked, before she died of lung cancer, even though she asked me for the truth. Some truths are just too terrible to speak.

I never lie to myself, no matter how depressed I am.

I never pass blame onto others, for mistakes that I have caused.

If I don't feel free to tell the truth, then I won't answer the question. In absence of honesty, silence is usually the next best thing.

Unfortunately, in this world, honesty is not always expected, or respected. We live in a time where truth changes depending on what TV channel you are watching at the time.

To quote a movie "The bitterest truth is better than the sweetest lie" and that's how i like it.

I lie until it's the truth.

A lot more then usual lately.

Sometimes I lie, though its usually just about things that aren't importants anyway. Though I'm really bad at lying face to face.

I do it every once in a while

I lie if it's the best course of action.

1. I'm a terrible fucking liar. I giggle uncontrollably/smile really big.

2. I have uncontrollable diarrhea of the mouth. If there's something significant on my mind, it will come flying out of me whether I want it to or not.

I have absolutely no tolerance threshold for guilt. When I know I'm not owning/fessing up to something, it's like screwdrivers in my brain.

It's.. just not me to lie.

I only lie when I think its the best course of action to evade conflict (friend problems).

Then again, I sometimes find myself just blurting out a lie for no reason whatsoever and trying to maintain a not properly executed lie is...delicate.

Trying to stop.

Of course I lie, I´m a human it´s normal.

I lie a lot more in real life than online.

Kinda funny how that works, the shield of anonymity.

I lie at least twice a day.
