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.

When a guy lies! That is the worst thing you can do. Or, the fact that most men lack communication skills! Just say what you feel! Is it so hard?

When someone says, "I am lying"  They are usally talking about the event they just described to you.  For example\n\nI won the lottery.  I am lying.  I didn't.  He/she is lying about the lottery.  They however, are telling the truth about lying as they didn't realy win.  \n\nThough its hard to believe anyone once they lie because whats to say when they're "telling the truth" isn't some lie.

Everybody lies.  It may only be “white” lies, but everyone tells lies or “omits the truth” sometimes. \n\nWe start lying at around age 4 to 5 when children gain an awareness of the use and power of language.  This first lying is not malicious, but rather to find out, or test, what can manipulated in a child’s environment.  Eventually children begin to use lying to get out of trouble or get something they want. \n\nWhite lies, those concocted to protect someone’s feelings, are not a big deal at all.  The person, however, who seems to feel compelled to lie about both the small and large stuff has a problem. \n\nWe often call these folks pathological liars (which is a description, not a diagnosis).  They lie to protect themselves, look good, gain financially or socially and avoid punishment.  Quite often the person who has been deceived knows that this type of liar has to a certain extent deluded him or herself and is therefore to be somewhat pitied.\n\nA much more troubling group is those who lie a lot — and knowingly — for personal gain. These people may have a diagnosis called antisocial personality disorder, also known as being a sociopath, and often get into scrapes with the law. \n\nLying often gets worse with the passage of time. When you get away with a lie it often impels you to continue your deceptions. Also, liars often find themselves perpetrating more untruths to cover themselves. \n\nWe hold different people to different standards when it comes to telling the truth.  We expect, for example, less honesty from politicians than from scientists.  We have a vision of purity about those who are doing research, while we imagine that politicians will at least shade the truth about themselves in order to get elected. \n\nWhy do we dislike liars, especially sociopaths, so much? It’s a matter of trust.  When a person lies, they have broken a bond – an unspoken agreement to treat others as we would like to be treated.  Serious deception often makes it impossible for us to trust another person again. \n\nBecause the issue of trust is on the line, coming clean about the lie as soon as possible is the best way to mend fences.  If the truth only comes out once it is forced, repair of trust is far less likely. \n\nAs a parent, the most important message you can send your children about lying is that you always — always — want them to come clean with you.  No matter how big a whopper they have told, remind them that you would always rather hear the truth, no matter how bad it is, than be deceived.  Tell them there is really nothing more sacred in your relationship than your trust of each other. \n\nOf course, all this presupposes that we have discovered an untruth — some people are so expert at deception that it often takes a long time to find out that we have been lied to.\n\nHow, then, can we best detect whether we are being misled? There is no foolproof way, but there are often clues you can see in behavior that should make you suspicious:\n\nAvoidance of eye contact: Usually someone makes eye contact at least half the time they are talking to you.  If you notice them avoiding eye contact or looking down during a specific part of a conversation, they may well be lying.\n\nChange of voice: A variation in pitch of voice or rate of speech can be a sign of lying.  So can lots of umms and ahhs.\n\nBody language. Turning your body away, covering your face or mouth, a lot of fidgeting of hands or legs can indicate deception.\n\nContradicting yourself:. Making statements that just don’t hold together should make you suspicious. \n\nIf you lie all the time, even about unimportant things, you are likely to have a problem that will eventually -- if it hasn’t already -- cause you real relationship, financial or legal troubles. Figuring out what is driving you to lie in the first place will help heal this self-destructive behavior. This may mean going into treatment with a therapist to discover why you feel the ne

I wonder the same question. I think it probably is a personality disorder, because there are people who lie even when it is not "neccessary" to lie ...

It´s just a matter of control.\n\nIf you´re stuppid enough, you´ll be afraid enough to listen 1000 times the same lie until it becomes thruth.

Sometimes, when you need to be... but you should express how you feel, some people cant handle the truth... its always a soft spot, just let em have it easy...

I would. Most pathalogical liars do not want to be telling the lies they are telling, it's a compulsion. If they tell you it would most likely be because they want your acceptance and understanding of the situation.

the people who say he is, can not, or will not give you specific lies.  The reason they won't, if they do, it is too easy to prove them wrong.

Sometimes you have to lie to save peoples feelings. Other times you lie to save your neck. As long as it doesnt cause major problems or hurt someone its no big deal. I lie on this all the time...who cares? Noone knows me

Lying is not just not a guy problem as I know many women that lie as well. I personally do not get why anyone has to lie, I am one of those people that will tell you the truth even if it gets me in trouble. I hate liars, I would rather live with a thief than a liar. The relationship that I am in now, lying is a big problem and I am ready to throw it all away because it is hard to regain the trust back that was lost because of lying.

it is easier, it sucks, but sometimes it makes everything easier when you lie, even about little things.
