Posted 7/20/13 As with possibly everything else in life, you have to seek the perfect balance. Not lying at all and telling blunt truths all the time may not seem so bad, but if this causes you to be unable to accept the opinions of others that contrast with your own, you are going to have problems. And, obviously, lying all the time is not really very beneficial either. Just gotta learn when to lie and when not to, I suppose.

Posted 7/20/13 I lie way too easily, but it's usually not premeditated. Mostly I just say whatever will keep the conversation as short as possible (I hate to talk). And later I might realize there were some lies mixed in with what I said. Report to Moderator [add status message] onibrotonel 13914 cr points Send Message:
Posted 7/20/13 Sometimes keeping a secret is necessary. There was this one patient that did not want to know/learn the final diagnosis. He already assumed it's not good and he requested that no one should tell him. Why? To him, not knowing what it is was the only thing he could control. If he did learn it, he couldn't possibly (in his own words) turn it for the better. He rather let that information be erased on his memories. So, yes. This one of the points keeping a secret is necessary. Report to Moderator eightislarge Phersu 38159 cr points Send Message:
Posted 7/20/13 Sometimes I lie to avoid offending people. It's easy to do. Perhaps too easy. As how I feel about it? Eh, I'm neutral on the subject. I don't care either way as long as the lies aren't about important things. Report to Moderator WHAT'S UP FUANZAI IPPAI! koji8123 22831 cr points Send Message:
Me, "Oh I'm so sorry, to hear that, I hope she's okay. I'll see you later!" (complete lie.) I don't care about him. I don't care about his wife I don't care whether he's at work or off in some shallow grave. But if he really knew that, I wouldn't have a job now would I? I have to acknowledge him, so mine as well act out a passionate and empathetic white lie, right?

Posted 7/20/13 the only time i ever think its okay to lie is when it is a harmless lie to make some one feel better or spare their feelings like when they say "do i look fat in this?" no one ever point blank responds "yes you look like a cow" you always tell them no it looks good on you. there are lies that you just say just because its natural. but do i think its right to lie about large things and hide them no. not at all lies always destroy relationships. be them intimate friendship of family.

Posted 7/21/13 Obligatory: lying is fine as long as you don't get caught. I don't really have any concrete guidelines for when to lie. Sometimes lying is the better option, sometimes it's not. It's really that simple. it seems kind of silly to say that I won't lie if X will happen as a result, or X will be hurt. Just weight the pros and cons for the individual situation, rather than setting up rules that you must always follow. Lying is a tool. Use it wisely.

If she only wants to listen to me say "yes you look fat in that dress," or "no you don't look fat in that dress," then saying "yes" would give her an inaccurate conception of my view on her. If I am able to explain and she is able to fully understand that I actually don't care much whether she looks fat in the dress, but actually value other things more, then answering yes is preferable. If I am nearly certain that she won't come to the correct conclusion with yes, and am unable to make her understand for some reason, then a lie (that is, saying no) would be better, since it will result in the correct conclusion.

I tend to try avoiding confronting blatant lies unless they are malicious and ill intended for example pinning blame on people or putting others down with lies, though my friends girlfriend used to come out with some awesome lies, such as she used to be an Olympic diver so when my friends and I were either drunk or stoned we used to sing the Fleetwood Mac song Little Lies to her, and she never once seemed to feel embarassed or stupid about being confronted and chose to ignore the singing completely. It doesn't get more obvious than 4 guys in your face singing "Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies". Haha denial... Report to Moderator quickekid 9728 cr points Send Message:
Posted 7/21/13 It's completely fine to lie. If you took notice to your day to day routine you'll find that lying is an ingrained part of your life. There have been estimates made from 3 to 20+ lies a day. It's the little quirks you do that you don't notice. Like the "I'm doing good" thrown in after the "How are you's" in conversation. That's a very common one. Report to Moderator Quote Selected
