it is best to always tell the truth because if you don't your lies will come back to haunt you worse. Face the music now or have it worse later.

No,\n\nI believe that when you lie to someone your only lying to yourself and you loose respect from others and eventually loose self respect.\nLying is almost as addictive as smoking...\nBeing honest with others will mean that your honest with yourself.

WELL~ ppl always say DONT YOU LIE TO ME. but we are now living in a world where lie is everywhere. I think whether you are going to tell the truth or not ,is depending on who you are dealing wiht. What do you tihnk of him. YOU lie coz, you think you are protecting from the bad so he wont get hurt, coz, you think you know better than he does, and you should decide his life? what kinda desicsion he iwll make? or you lie for yourself.\nI dont think lying is a big deal, ONLY IF its good for both of you.\nSo, i said, Lie, that means, you care and love him, When you found that you dont even worry about this lie thing, he/she means nothing to you. To lie is to care :D

honesty is good an is also is part of being a good person there is nothing like being free of the lies .however not all trues are necessaries if u feel that saying the true may hurt somebody do not do it. it is not worth it . in the other side there is trues that might hurt another person but that person might need to know be brave and don't hesitate .there is also white lies that at the end can hurt like nothing u might lose a friend but at least u will know in ur heart that u did what u have to do and that u are in peace whit god .fallow ur heart and logic.\n\nbut do not make a lie of ur live.

I find honesty is the best policy, however if I now its going to hurt someone to much I give it the ole bambi rule-- if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all.

would any of your friends lie to you or would they tell you the truth if the problem was switched around. what would you want the truth or a lie. \n\n\nyeah it may hurt you and them but it is better if its now and not later because if you hold you peace and she finds out later then she will never trues you again if she finds out that you knew about it. if you don't tell your risking your friendship, and if you tell the only thing will happen is that they may get upset, but in time they will thank you for being honest. i know that its not easy and it wont get any easier i wish i could tell you that it will but that will be lying.

It depends on if it was to protect you, or to hurt you.  Friends shouldn't lie to each other, but people do make mistakes.  Mistakes can be forgiven.  Use your own judgement, and go with your gut feelings.  Good Luck.

No - tell the truth about yourself. There is no shame in your situation. Everyone has their own story and if they are happy with who they are, or are striving to better themselves for whatever reason, then that is their truth. Lying will only make you feel worse about who you are, not better.

Well you shouldn't be lying in the first place. It has been my experience that the truth alway's comes out. It is the nature of truth to come out and if you have to lie, be prepared when you least expect it, for the truth to come out.

Because lying is more fun. For instance, if you ask me "What were you doing today," I will probably say "I put on my long pink wig, my purple bikini and high heels and I drove round to meet my boyfriend in my yellow Lamborghini." Truth is, I was in the office all day showing two customers how to deploy automated business processes onto engines in a fail safe... Are you still awake? \n\nYou see the point. Life would be so boring if we all told the truth. If I tell lies you can share my fantasies and my wishes instead of just the depressing repetitive misery of days in the office, cups of tea and configuring fault tolerant automated processes. Go on! Dream a little and don't be afraid to tell your friends a huge pile of complete untruths.

We often lie to protect other people's feelings, or the shelter them.\n\nImagine if you always told the truth, no matter what.\nWife: Do these pants make me look fat?\nYou: ---------\n\nYour 6yr old kid: Dad, Where do babies come from?\nYou: ---------\n\nYour boss: How's that report (the one you forgot about and haven't even started) coming along?\nYou: ---------\n\nThe IRS, or just anyone on the street: how much did you make last year?\nYou: ---------

i personally don't think its easy to lie. i tried when i was younger, and it ended up hurting someone. unless its like (who ate the last of the ice cream?) i would blame the dog.\ni think some people don't want to hear the truth, or the one lieing doesn't repect the one they r talking to.

go with your gut feeling to be on the safe side. usually that feeling is right. if you feel that strongly about someone lying to you, definatly confront them and talk it out. yes that persons going to get upset and deffensive but you have the right to know if you suspect something going on behind your back.

Those that lie are ignorant that the truth shall set them free, and they instead get trapped in a web that only gets darker and darker as time goes by, and they end up with very MESSY lives!  Only WHITE lies are okay.  Those that only are uttered so as not to hurt another's feelings who might take the truth too strongly.  However, the truth is always best, altho there are many ways of telling it (gently or BLUNTLY) The truth shall set you free because YOU will know to yourself that YOU are reliable and trustworthy to anybody who comes in contact with you, and the wise will see it in you and appreciate YOUR integrity, and the friendships you establish will be wise ones  And you also learn to SEE when others are lying to you and deal with them accordingly.

as she's your friend, you should'nt lie to her. once you lie, you have to cover it up with a bigger lie and you'll soon get into trouble.

Trying to get a compulsive liar to stop lying is like trying to perform the heimlich maneuver on a mountain goat.  It's a big mess, potentially dangerous, and in the end...best left up to the professionals.
