Do you have problems with lies?

No I have no problem with lies whatsoever.

 

Nah. A lie every now and then is a good thing. The world would be a horrible place if everyone would always tell the truth.

"That dress looks just wonderful on you."

Silly lies ("No, no! Of course that dress doesn't make your butt look like an elephant!") are fine. Serious ones are certainly not right most of the time.

 

i hate it when people lie :dry:

 

I don't like it when people lie, that being said, i don't necessarily have a problem with lies, if they are coming from people who i don't care for. I tend to have this outlook, that everyone lies. Never completely trust something, some random person has said. Plus, it's pretty damn apparent when they lie.

Close friends however... when they lie to me, when they hide things... it kills me inside. Especially when i fail to notice it in time.

I do think that everyone should strive to be honest and open, as much as they can.

 

I think the closer someone is with another, the more they should trust and be honest with each other. But with more distant people, white lies are not a bad thing always.

 

I don't have a problem with little white lies, I use them myself. But when it comes to big things/serious things, then I do have a problem with lies. Especially concerning faithfulness

 

Sometimes you have to lie... No mom i didn't look up all male all nude. Now if you're lying to hurt someone, thats wrong

 

chip and shinji summed up my feelings on it well

I lie on about a daily basis, at least once or twice. I think most people do if their honest, whether they realize it or not. Rather than doing this I perfer to find ways of expressing my opinion without hurting someone's feelings if they're at risk.

I think being truthful with people is generally beneficial and the only way you'll be able to end up with the friendships/relationships you want with people close to you. Despite that I tend to lie to my parents alot about things like 'did you sleep' and other minor stuff ;-;

 

I think that if you're going to lie to save yourself or someone else from danger or persecution, it's fine. It's also fine if you're trying not to hurt someone's feelings and instead, make them feel good.

But lying just to lie, lying to get someone in trouble, lying to get attention or lying to make another look foolish for a bit of a laugh is NOT okay.

If someone tells a lie, because it's 'needed' (in case of death or anything like that), then I don't mind. Sometimes it's convenient to hide a bit of the truth. But other than that, I don't like lies at all.

I think trust is a very important quality. People who lie, be it to me or others, won't be good friends of mine.

 

I lie occasionally, and I'm excellent at it. But at the same time, I have a strong sense of honesty, and I want to live a life of integrity. So... I don't like to do it, and I only do it when necessary.

Something that amused me when I heard it: "If I always told the truth, I wouldn't need you to trust me."

 

I lie what I call "petty lies"

"No mum, I did not leave my socks on the floor."

Although after two seconds I usually confess, having an inescapable honesty.

 

The worst is lying to parents, believe me..

 

I agree
