How do you feel about lying?

I don't like it at all and don't trust people who lie.

Do you care if people lie to you?

Yes, very much. It's not necessary to lie to me since I can handle the truth.

Do you care if you lie to people? I don't lie to people a lot, when I do, it's usually something that is none of their business that they are trying to ask me.

What have you lied about?

Small lies. I tell white lies when It think the truth is gonna hurt the other persons feelings.

What is the dumbest lie you've heard?

My phone died was a recent one, then I ghosted and he came back saying "I know you're upset and blah blah blah, let me make it up to you"

Everyone has lied, and has been a liar.

Don't kid yourself, in saying you have been honest 100% your entire life, because you aren't fooling anyone. "Honey, do I look fat in this outfit?" "No, baby you are perfect!" (Thinking, uhhhhhhhhhhh I am not telling her that those stripes add about 15 lbs to her)

Now with that out of the way, there are differing degrees almost everyone will put up with or not. It all varies on the person's personal preference.

I can overlook lies told that don't effect other people's lives. Lying about cooking something. Lying about eating out. White, little lies that don't mean jack shit. I can even overlook lying, that is a defensive mechanism they have, to not get in trouble. It happens.

What I won't forgive, is lying that involves infidelity. Lying about yourself intentionally about something that would be a "deal breaker" for me in a relationship sense. Nope, hard pass.

Most of my lies "fibs" are the yes/no variety. Did you eat the cookie, "no". I try not to have to "tell" a lie/story.

It is difficult (seriously) when someone lies (size doesn't matter) to me. I too often sense it and then mercilessly look for inconsistencies. Then I remind people of what they said and tell them what I think is the truth. People do not like this and eventually get very angry at me because they lied.

I despise lying, but I realize I am very guilty of it...

My recent ex lied to me of her whereabouts on a few occasions when trying to escape the fights at home and when she didn’t want to have to explain who or why or where.... I realize, now that she has apologized and has begun being honest that this is a mechanism she developed from a child because often her mother would spread her business so she believes if I don’t want something repeated don’t tell, and would be lied to about Not dealing with consequences if told the truth....But we all know that wasn’t the case. and also being in the church heavy and being judged.

This was the downfall

The lies lack of communication and anxiety because I knew when she’d lie and it was to protect herself and not to hurt me .....

and not deal with consequences!

I’ve done it but if confronted I’m prob gonna be honest.....

But I hate it done to me.....

I dunno if I prefer this type of lying over narcissistic boasting about having things you don’t!

Either way it scares me and I try not to do it but something’s aren’t meant to be told... somethings are....

Everybody has lied at some point in time during their lifespan. Yes I have told lies and I'm not lying about that. I lies to the law to get myself out of trouble. And for me it works. It would definitely not be recommended for anyone else other than me to lie your way out of trouble from law enforcements.

And I don't like people lying to me. Be real and upfront with me. Look me in my eye and tell me the truth.

Depends on who what and where but I hate lying. If some random person lies to me I dont care but if you are someone like a family member, friend or lover, don't let me find out you're lying.

Yes, I have told lies but I try to be as honest with people as I possible can. Most people don't believe the truth anyway and so even if I'm honest I still get told that I'm lying so....sometimes the truth is better than the lie. For example..

If I was cheating on someone and they asked me where I was.. I could tell them "I was out fucking this hot guy with a big dick".... I'm being honest but they think I'm lying....
