Are you telling the truth?

Where To · 27-01-2011 8:29pm #1

Much as I hate to admit it I always find myself telling little white lies on the internet

Not big whoppers (mostly) but an occasional exaggeration here and there:rolleyes:

Is there anybody out there who can honestly say they've never told a lie on the web?

karlog · 27-01-2011 8:34pm

On the web ? I live in millionares row and leave aproxx 100x £50 notes on the kitchen table every night , back door unlocked, name and address supplied on request .

This is not a lie ....I swear

LighterGuy · 27-01-2011 9:17pm

People tend to tell white lies. Most of us do. Almost natural

.. But the post break-up lies can be some of the most questionable in my experience. Like half-truths.

Having posted in response to some problems in the PI/RI section. It makes me think that, for example, are some relationship problems totally accurate? Or do alot of Op's phrase things in order to gain support/feel right?

whydoibother? · 27-01-2011 9:34pm

I tell the truth I think. I can't think of any lies. I tend to be more attracted to threads that ask for opinions on stuff. I then post my thoughts, so I'm not usually writing facts about myself anyway. What would be the point of lying to strangers who don't know who I am?

bnt · 27-01-2011 9:40pm

Am I telling the truth right now? No.

For one thing telling the truth about your life on the web leaves one open privacy issues were we talk/tell to much about ourselfs . This does not apply to pm /emails to trusted friends

Telling white lies on the web to protect your privacy is different to telling lies were as in real life shared expierences , you exaggerate something to the point that or it just never happened .

Having posted in response to some problems in the PI/RI section. It makes me think that, for example, are some relationship problems totally accurate? Or do alot of Op's phrase things in order to gain support
feel right?

I think like in any other topic it's open to exaggeration and people who post in PI /RI are opening up themselfs to get support and some comfort from like minded people , who may have expierenced or have some insight into their particular problem .

I dont go into PI much but when I would read some threads , I use to ask same questions ,is this person being truthful or holding back on something ? ( which is understandable if it's to painful to talk about in detail and put into words ) . I think it can be hard sometimes to judge accuracy of posts ,others you know somebodys hurting really badly but importantly and in most cases , always give the poster the benefit of any doubt .

Terry · 27-01-2011 9:50pm

Yes, I've lied.
What's your point?

squeakyduck · 27-01-2011 9:52pm

I have a perfect boyfriend that buys me everything I need.

I don't pay rent as my daddy gives me as much money as I want.

I usually pay any money that isn't used on rent and bills to buy fancy make up and Louboutin shoes and I put makeup reviews and blogs on the internet and tell everyone I'm a stock broker and other amazing ****!

How or why could my life be any duller?

Even if that is your first lie you're telling the truth. . . i think

i don't think i've lied

i don't contribute much more than waffle anyway, so no opportunity to lie

Greaney · 27-01-2011 10:11pm

I don't think I've lied on the web. I don't so much lie as avoid telling the truth if I think I'm in a bind or can't disclose something.

El Horseboxo · 27-01-2011 10:12pm

I don't have the ability to lie. I even sleep standing up.

Voodu Child · 27-01-2011 10:43pm

When I was in the SAS we got anti-interrogation training, how to tell a lie convincingly, fooling a lie detector and all that sort of stuff.

I use it a lot in real-life, cames in handy for bedding supermodels, but I can safely say i've never lied on the web. That'd be a bit sad tbh.

Asphyxia · 27-01-2011 10:46pm

Hmm! What's the point though?

I much prefer seeing people get envious and jealous about the real things in my life

I do love those people who are like "Oh you can't possibly have all those nice things in and happening in your life so you must be lying" :rolleyes: It does make me laugh

To answer your question.. Nope I don't need to

Kimono-Girl · 27-01-2011 11:01pm

honestly i see no reason to lie, a little lie becomes a big lie and a big lie becomes many, i found its easier to be honest with people even if they hate you for it, at least you can call yourself honest!

I often post about strange/exciting things like stealing from shops, beating up my dog, raping prostitutes, murdering my ex-wife, waking up in some house with frighten strangers shouting at me etc etc.
But the truth is, i'd never hurt my dog.

Copper23 · 28-01-2011 2:40am

Why would I do that? It's a bit stupid.

I always think it's hilarious when you read comments or posts from someone you know and you just know they are lying through their teeth, it's pathetic.
