    [jq]Did you break the vase?[/jq]​

    [jq]N-no, sir. I d-didn't break your v-vase.[/jq]​

    Have you ever lied to someone to protect yourself or someone else? Or, do you just lie to get away with things that you've just done to keep yourself from the consequences?​

    I admit that I lied a couple times in my life; I try not to, though. After lying, I usually have guilt in my mind, and it doesn't go away until I confess the truth. I am able to live with the guilt, though, so the lie is still there, somewhere. :<​

    Did anyone found out that you were lying? If so, did you get punished for it?​


    I didn't see any thread like this, so I made one. If there is one, then please close this thread.​
     
    Everyone lies all the time, sometimes without even noticing. It already starts for example with answering stuff like "how are you" with "good".
    Lying on purpose? When I see it as the lesser source of problems.
     
    Yes I have lied for those reasons. I never really feel guility though... I guess that can be a bad thing. I was caught before too, but I don't remember what happened after that. I haven't been caught in a lie in a very long time. :3
     
    I lie when I have to, or when I feel that it would be better to. I usually don't feel very guilty about lying, and I think I'm a pretty decent liar. I understand that most people think that lying is never better than telling the truth, but take what happened last friday to me for example.

    I had Writer's Craft period and, as usual, came a bit late to class. Then, there was a stupid assembly at my school second period and I decided to skip and go to the mall. I thought I'd be back in time for the next class, English, but I wasn't. And I had a presentation to do. The worst part was that my English teacher is the same as my Writer's Craft one. So I told my friend to tell him that I was sick and went home. The next day, the teacher approaches me. So, I could confess that I was skipping and possibly face a failing grade on my oral presentation, or go along with my sick story. I gave the story a shot. I told him that during the assembly, I felt sick, and decided to go home and that my sickness started in the morning which is why I came late to Writer's Craft. He said it was all right and that I'd do my presentation next English class.

    Nothing went wrong. What would you have done?
     
    Yeah, I lie, mostly to save my own hide. Usually, nobody's the wiser, which works out just fine for me :)

    I try not to, but there are always those situations when you're practically forced into a lie to save yourself from some sort of consequences.
     
    I lie all the time unless the siutation is serious. My friends know I lie a lot so we have a little game we're they'll mill over what I said and either say I'm lying or not. Its fun.
     
    Of course I lie. I don't like getting in trouble, especially since I'm usually the good kid. I just wish I could list an example or two, because I really can't think of anything off the top of my head.

    Typically if it's something really big I don't lie about it, simply because it'll put me in a sticky situation. It's the last place I want to be in, caught up in too many lies. I'm more for small lies; they don't seem to hurt as much.
     
    Yes. Tons of times, to save me or my best friend from punishment, and getting other children punished :D
     
    Sometimes, I lie for the reason It's for the best for me and for everybody around me. :]

    I really hate to lie, since It's considered as a sin, but as what as I have said it's for the best. XD
     
    I don't tell massive lies that will get everyone in trouble, but little white lies are okay
     
    If I told you I never lied in my life, then I would be lying (again). Of course I've lied before, most of the times just to bypass any consequences or for the better of someone close. However, I've never really liked lying as it left me feeling a bit guilty at times. I've never lied about anything important though. I just feel that under the circumstances of importance I rather avoid getting myself into anymore trouble than I already might be in. Really though, I don't think I've ever met anyone who hasn't lied at least once before.

    As for anyone ever finding out, rarely has it happened probably because I'm such a good liar, but when I have been caught lying at times I had gotten in trouble for it. Though, this happened years ago as currently I rarely lie as much as I might have when I was a kid.
     
    I lie all the time. What the hell has honesty ever done for anyone? :\
     
    If I don't lie, I wouldn't have been alive now. People here just love to avoid the painful truth
     
    yes i lie , alot why idk
    i guess it may get me out of things
     
    I'm sure everyone has lied once in their life...it's just a thing we humans do. Meh.

    Yes, I have lied, multiple times in fact...espcially if it is to protect someone else. But I have done it to stop myself from getting into trouble with my family and friends and yes, they both have caught me. Because I am a very bad lair I don't often and if I do, I feel guilty all the time then can't get the confidence to tell the truth so I sneak it in another way...and get into trouble again. Failage. I know.
