    How much do you lie?
    I have met some liars in my life and they do it to hurt others.
    I lie to protect myself, i dont see it really as a lie because not hurting anyone.
    Have you got a lie that makes you ashamed?

    I don't really lie at all. I tell the occassional fib or I'll omit something I may be a little embarrassed about. Other than I'm pretty honest.
    I have a 'friend' though who'll lie about what she had for lunch and other such irrelevant things, for no apparent reason. I really don't understand why some people do that :confused:




  • I lied in this poll

    I don't lie. I wish I was capable of the hugest lies ever, too honest for my own good, Karma and all that. But I deal with people all the time who do, sad sad people. But it always comes back and bites them in the ar$e, might take a long time but it does.

    You can save yourself from a thief, but not a liar.

    I guess then i would be fibbing to like not their business.
    Your lucky she lies about not important things though.
    I have met some who lie on purpose to get others in trouble and dont care who gets hurt in process.

    So true

    I know what you mean i used to wish i could lie and be ruthless.
    But i soon realised i couldn't and cut all the people out of my life that were making me feel like i had to be like that in order to get ahead.

    I don't, as in I make a proper attempt to avoid lying to someone even if it means getting myself into trouble, and I have little time for people who lie.
    If there's something I don't want someone to know I won't mention it, if they directly ask about it I'll tell them, or tell them that I don't want to answer, but if it concerns them in some way I won't keep it from them.
    If I did something that I'd be embarrassed to admit to I won't make it worse by lying, better to just get it over with and explain if it comes up.

    Hate being lied to, as does everyone else I assume, so I really don't see why it's accepted in any way.

    You have some nerve shqipshume. You've blatantly ripped off Pighead's thread which as you well know is entitled "What's the worst instance of cheating you've been involved in?"

    Where the hell do you get off creating an almost carbon copy of his thread less than an hour later! You've basically changed the word "cheat" to "liar" and have dressed it up as a totally brand new revolutionary thread. Pighead's hairy arse it is. It's a duplicate. You're aiming for the exact same market Pighead's gone for. The shady, dodgy members of the community. If Pighead started a thread called "I love to pick my toenails and chew them until the yellow bits turn white again" you'd probably pipe up with a thread called "Is it disgusting to eat yellow hard crispy bits that originated from the toe area of your body?"

    You're a fraud shqipshume. You're the Rolling Clones, Mentallica, By Jovi and nowaysis all rolled into one.

    Anyway back on topic, Pighead only lies when it stops him getting into trouble.

    There's no "I lie to girls to get my way with them" option....

    I dont lie at all.
    But then again if i was a liar the previous statement could be a lie.
    so the only people you can believe is people who say they lie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,651 ✭✭✭Captain Slow IRL


    I don't lie.
    I embellish or omit the truth, I don't lie:)

    I choose the ' I lie only to protect myself and others not in bad way ' cos I think it's true for most of us .I think we sometimes need to tell white lies which is just a simple way of diverting somebody away from trying to gain information from which they may use to subvert ie, not in our best intrests .

    Of course I will sometimes lie to wind somebody up /as a joke

    To protect and serve :cool:

    I lie if I have to, but I don't like being lied to.

    I'm still honest most the time though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,166 ✭✭✭Cheeky_gal


    Mitched off school and arrived in at lunch time and the teacher asked where I was all morning, I told her my cousin John died and she was really sympathetic, however later on she bumped into my brother and said to him sorry to hear about your cousin John, obviously he replied who the f*ck is John. Needless to say I don't lie anymore lol

    I was 10 at the time, my brother was about 16

    I rarely lie, usually the truth is enough for people to not believe me.

    However, when I do lie, I am quite adept at it, so much to the point that I almost end up believing it myself.

    I try not to lie but guess I have told a few white ones in my time...can't remmeber any to hand.

    One lie I was told was horrible though, here goes -...one of my ex girlfriends dumped me and gave no reason but when I probed her (awaits usual AH joke :rolleyes:) for more details she claimed that she had leukemia and did not want me to have to see her suffer. Found out it was bollox and she was fcuking her ex! B*TCH :mad:Made all the worse that my uncle died of the disease.

    Used to when I was younger, but trying keep track of them all and remember the little details made it impossible so I rarely do now, try and stay lie free.

    Used to lie a lot more when I was younger alright; used to get nabbed when people would ask if I had seen my uncle, Nelson Mandella, recently, etc...

    I don't lie too much. But if needs be I am a wonderful liar. I used to constantly lie about stupid pointless thing when I was a teenager. I kept up a lie about my age for about 6 years to my closest friends until I actually started believing it myself. Then when I was 18 and had to have an 18th party I made up another lie to justify the lie about my age. Lie lie lie. But not anymore, I'm very honest now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,368 ✭✭✭Smart Bug


    I'll hide behind a smile and understanding eyes and I'll tell you things that you already know, so you can say "Ireally identify with you, so much". And all the time that you're needing me is just the time that I'm bleeding you. Don't you get it yet? I'll come to you like an affliction , and I'll leave you like an addiction, you'll never forget me. You wanna know why? Cause I'm a liar.





    Apologies, couldn't resist.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,378 ✭✭✭Borneo Fnctn


    I lie to everybody about a lot of things. Sometimes just for my own amusement. Sometimes to make myself seem more interesting. How's that for honesty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 578 ✭✭✭Elba101

    More polite than lying. You don't have to say 'Thats none of your business'. you can say 'I'd rather not talk about that' or turn it around and be 'your very inquisitive aren't you?' and then redirect.

    Nah that's what i am saying its personal info that will never be found out because only i know the truth of it,Which is for me to lie about it.And even if they found out i lied about it i wouldn't care cause nothing to do with them in first place.But they wouldn't be hurt just sickened they had no gossip for their ever wagging tongues.;)
