Because it is an easy way to explain an lie. And they don't have to admit that they have psychological problem that causes that shift in their minds. And yes they do have psychological problem which cause them to preform such un-natural acts.

Because people are not ready to accept the facts what is happening in their real life. Having so much of desire beyond their limits and they want to get it by crooked way, and sometimes coincidentally it happens they started believing it strongly.

Probably not. People who lie about one thing tend to lie about others, also.

Because a lie is easier to accept.  When we ask for the truth most times what we are asking for is for you to agree with what we are asking about.  For example: Do you like my new dress?  If you don't like it, are you going to tell me or are you going to find something about the dress that you can mention.  "That's a pretty shade of blue."  "I like the sleeves."\n\nWe don't want to hear what you are thinking..."My goodness, where did she find that ugly thing?  It does nothing for her."\n\nThese kinds of social lies are true in any area of our lives.  If I am married to a bum, do I want you to keep telling me that?  No.  I know he's a bum but I don't want you to continue to tell me you recognize that I had bad taste in picking a man.\n\nThe lie strokes our egos.  The truth often hurts.

When without misleading someone too much they are prevented from getting hurt by a lie. Sometimes though honesty is the best policy. It depends on the person/situation.

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.

Some people do this to impress others or to try to impress them while others do it to try to cover up their flaws or to cover the fact that they aren't who they would like to be.

The same reasons women do. Lying is not gender specific.

Yes it is very important to tell the truth but then there are times when it is good to lie. Most of the time it is not good to lie just cause you might've done something wrong or you stole something. But then there are times when maybe u might lie to save or help someone or something. But in my opinion I think that it is best not to lie because lieing alot of the time makes things a whole lot worse. When you lie to people sometimes they make take it peronsal or they might not be able to trust you anymore which trust is always something that you want to have.

Depends on the type of person you are, it's hard for me to lie, never been good at it. I have been taught that it's easier to tell the truth because you need to make up another lie to cover the previous. and the truth is a matter of fact. when your not out to hurt the people you love you don't need to lie.

Some people think they have to exaggerate to make themselves seem of more importance.  Honesty is not what it used to be, once considered a virtue it is now rarely spoken.  The sad thing is, when someone lies it is to themself they tell the worst of lies!\n\nThen there are those who lie so consistently that they can't remember their own tales...

The short answer is: they don't.  Many people go through life lying to others and some of these lies end up not being caught.  But when it comes down to it lies won't hold up to intensive investigation and the light of truth.\n\nIf someone has reason to suspect a fact or is curious enough they will eventually be able to find out any mistake, omission or outright lie as evidenced by these proverbs from around the world:\n\nlies walk on short legs.  (german)\none can't stop the spreading of lies with more of them.\na liar is not to be believed, even when he speaks the truth.\n\nhope this helps.

They hate when someone else recognizes that they are lying or they don't want to admit something to themselves. It doesn't seem so bad until they hear it from another person.\n\nI'd personally rather hear the truth even if it makes me mad. At least I respect you for saying it.

I prefer to be truthful. I find myself embellishing stories sometimes, and when I realize that I am doing it (sometimes it just comes out!!) i catch myself and rephrase it to be more honest. I want to be someone who people believe they can trust in, so I speak the truth.
