Are you honest with yourself, other people, or a compulsive liar?

I think it depends on an individuals personality.  Some lie because they may be afraid of the other persons/peoples reaction.  Maybe the fear of being disliked.  Others may lie and give quick answers cause they don't feel like explaining themselves or the whole story.  I think alot of people do it even unintentionally and it becomes a habit.

Everyone lies sometimes but some people lie a lot. I don't usually lie to people but I will omit telling someone something if I think it is none of their business. I think lying is learned behavior which starts in childhood and the more a child does it then it becomes part of their character when they are adult, especially if there is no incentive to be honest. It would take a lot of work for an adult who lies to become honest. It is easier to tell when a child is lying but not so easy to tell when an adult is lying unless you know them well. Since lying is subjective, I think some adults think they are telling the truth when in fact they are lying.

Honest. I try to always be honest and frank with people and this is not always well received.\nI think it is important to be honest with people. When people ask me for my opinion I have learned to say, "Are you sure you really want to know?" Some people admire it and some hate it.

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...

Everyone lies to some degree. Do you think that when you lied in the past that you had a certain look that everyone could recognize? You didn't. Only the people who knew you really well could tell you were lying, like your parents. Some people present themselves as being honest but almost all the time people find out they aren't. It is only when a person gets to know you really well, can they tell by your facial expressions and your body language that you are lying. There is no look or expression that tells other people you are telling the truth. People can tell how honest you are by getting to know you. I consider myself a pretty honest person and one of my friends told me, I was the most honest person they knew. I don't usually lie to people but on the other hand I don't always answer someone when they ask me something personal that I don't want to tell them or I think is none of their business. By not telling them, I don't think I am lying or being dishonest. I am guessing you are a kid. When you are a kid, the consequences of your lying are usually being kept in your room, not getting a toy but that depends on what you lied about. If you become an adult who lies, it could lead to much more serious consequences and once again it depends on what you lie about. You could lose a job for lying, lose your best friend. I hope you continue working on being honest. That is a good character trait to have. Hope I helped you understand.

I believe I'm everything I say I am, or else I would be a liar. I'm not perfect, I make mistakes, big and small, all the time. Things don't always go according to plan for me. So I just try my best, I am who I am.

If someone tells you they're a liar,than you can't believe them but if they're liars and tell you they're lying than they must be telling you the truth but they can't tell the truth so they must be lying.\nSo the answer is no.

i believe your a liar. of course i would/wouldn't believe them. i mean, if i know them well, i could tell they're lieing, but if the person is telling the truth then the person wouldn't be a liar. if its a good liar then it's hard to say unless you really know them, but if it's a bad liar then u can tell they are lieing. if a liar sayed they were a liar then, she/he would be telling the truth, which wouldn't make them a liar at all. but if a truthful person said it, then they would be telling a lie, because they don't lie. so it would be called a ," triar" a person how both lies and says the truth. and if they werea triar and said it, then they would be saying a lith which is both the lie and the truth. what a random question.

Great topic!\n\nI am amazed that there are so many adults who do not consider some of the things they say or do not say, as a lie. For instance: sometimes people make up stories and tell it for fun. It may be a hunting story, fishing story, etc. This is done as a fantasy. The important thing to remember is that if you tell the story...you and the others must identify it is not really true....or it is a lie. Another example of a lie people do not always admit as lying is...when someone states something they think is true and then discover later that it is not true. The person really should then rectify the situation and admit they said something and found out it was not the truth. When a purposeful untruth is told, it is an outright lie. It is meant to deceive. This leads to disappointing others, others never really belive you and they eventually stop trusting you.  Then the time may come and you may be telling the truth...but too late...others don't believe you even when you do tell the truth. Some people actually believe that the only way a lie is told is in that manner. Not true! You can lie with your actions. You may cause a person to believe something not true by acting a certain way. (Example; child breaks a vase and throws it out and pretends not to know anything about it.) A lie can be done by being silent. You may cause someone to believe something by saying nothing. (Example: a mother asks the children who broke a window, and all the children know, but no-one tellls anything).The cycle of lying usually continues when one lies. The next thing one knows is they lie to cover another lie and so on. Most intelligent people, know when someone is lying to them. It doesn't change anything...except the credibility of the one who lies. Another form of lying is not telling a complete truth. Any form of not telling a complete truth or an admission of a complete truth in words or actions is a lie. \nI honestly do not intentionally lie. However, about two weeks ago we had company and this person asked me something and I did not want to go into it so I lied. When the company left. my husband said to me ..."why did you lie?" I reallly had to stop and think about it. I am a woman of value. I work hard to practice what I believe in. I am an honest person. I try hard to use tact and not lie. I usually would reply to someone who asked a personal question that I did not feel like answering with something like...why do you ask? I usually try to find an answer that will not offend the other person, but will also allow me to keep my personal life personal without lying. Sometimes, I like everyone find myself in a place I don't like to be. I feel dirty or shamed when I do that. Long story short...I felt guilty and called the person up and explained it. No one is perfect. There is not a sole alive who has not told a lie at one time or another. I can honestly say I do not lie on a daily basis, but sometimes I do find myself bordering the ethical line. I want people to trust me, I strive to be honest and keep integrity....but it is a daily struggle to be in tune with complete and open honesty!

no way, i lie all the time and nobody ever notices-a good liar will never let you know that they are lying unless they want you to know

I'm known as someone who is blatantly honest, which causes trouble once in awhile. I believe in expressing my opinions...but I'm also known as an extremely empathetic, sensitive person at the same time. I hope to achieve a balance between those.
