Lying

[Dr Unne]

How often do you lie? Do you like lying? Are you a compulsive liar? Did you ever lie under oath?

Ok first of all, no! 2nd of all Unne you lie! 3rd of all I feel liars suck. I hate people that lie, it really irrotates me, I may joke around for a "haha" but I will never lie.

1. Rarely, if at all.
2. Nope, I'd rather dodge the question by structuring the way I say something in such a manner it's still truth and not lie. I guess this is why in courts, you're sworn to tell "the whole truth" to make that much harder to do
3. Nope.
4. I can't say I've ever been under oath, to my knowledge anyway

Not very often, if I can help it. Generally, if I lie, it's to protect somebody's feelings.

Do you like lying?

Not particularly. Like Guu, I prefer to give evasive answers that still represent the truth than flat-out lie to people.

Are you a compulsive liar?

I should hope not.

Did you ever lie under oath?

I don't believe I've ever BEEN under oath. In any case, no.

I highly doubt it.

I only lie when "necessary". I try tell a white lie to make someone feel better/protect someone. Sometimes failing miserably in that.

I used to lie a lot but I've grown up. I'd rather tell teh truth now and just deal with what ever I did. I've never been under oath so no I haven't lied under oath.

I lack this thing called "tact," so I tend to be honest.

And yes, it really does lower my opinion of someone if they've been lying about something major, especially to their friends and loved ones.

Maybe once a month? I do not enjoy lying, but I used to be a compulsive liar, which basically meant that I lied without even reflecting upon it. Not to purposefully hurt people or anything, I just stated things that weren't true.

I often lie, but that is natural, for everyone wether they think so or not. But I hate lyers who do it full knowingly. I don't think I've ever lied under oath.

[White Raven]

I lie only when saying the truth would hurt someone...like if someone asked me if they looked nice I'd always say yes.

[Bernhard]

Me too. The other day some guy asked me if his new eau de toilette smelled nice. Needless to say, it didn't. In fact, it smelled like it belonged on the neck of a 54-year old spinster with no sense of smell. But I nodded in an approving manner. :aim~:

[Burtsplurt]

I find it hard to lie, even if the truth would hurt. I don't think I'd sound sincere when lying, so that's probably not a bad thing.

I can think of a few times when I have lied, and I still feel guilty about them. Best to tell the truth and feel good, even if it's selfish.

[Doomgaze]

No more RMs, that's 10.

[Dr Unne]

Yeah, I'll get right on that. Though Guu might be upset at the demotion.

[Del Murder]

I lie impulsively, I don't like it and try not to do it, but when I'm backed into a corner I lie. It's one of the things I dislike about myself.
