Are you telling the truth?

    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?

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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 758 ✭✭✭whydoibother?


    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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭bnt


    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 .

    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 .

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,766 ✭✭✭squeakyduck


    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 ****! :D

    How or why could my life be any duller?

    I don't think I've ever lied on the web

    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.
