How much do you lie?

[Empired]

How much do you notice yourself lying? Is it just to get out of things or are you trying to impress others? Do you even notice you're doing it most of the time?

I read an interestingish article aaaages ago on some guy who gave up all lying (from like "yeah sure I went to see that film" to "no i didn't kill your brother how could you say that"... well, not quite but it's too early to think of good examples) to see what would happen. He found it really difficult to begin with but apparently it got easier and easier and made his life easier in the long run.

I don't like lying anymore so try to be as honest as possible whenever I can. Bend the truth a little if soneones's feelings are concerned and the full truth would upset them and lie to get out of things I can't be arsed to do - like soz I have Ebola I can't come rather than soz I cba to come

I try to be as honest as possible. I don't lie a lot really.

Not often. I only lie when it's really necessary.

Yeah I lie loads it gets me out of trouble and makes difficult situations far easier

[-:Undertaker:-]

I never lie on serious things and can't even think of any white lies in recent memory.

I tell the truth most of the time as it makes the lies far more believable. Generally speaking, though, my aim is to avoid hassle rather than to deceive for personal gain.

I only lie if necessary. Lying all the time would cause too much hassle.

I don't normally lie in what would be a bad way, if I do it would normally have a good reason or a good outcome for it (probably).

I may also tell the the truth at times but bend it a little for whatever reason if needed - for example someone might not actually believe the truth when it is the truth, so I might tell it with a few bends here and there to make what is actually the truth more believable.

Almost always aim to tell the truth (lies catch up on you).

I did 'lie' last year to try to stop friends getting into trouble; nothing illegal guys, don't worry :L
