Are you a liar?

EVERYBODY tells hypocritical lies...i.e You ring in sick because you have a rent inspection but in reality your house is messy/ or your late for work because you slept in but tell your employer that your car wouldn't start. Unfortunately I do on rare occasions.

I did tell lies in the past time,but I don't think that I am a liar. In my thought a liar must be a preson who always tells lies and does it for the bad reasons.But I'm not that kind person.

hi there yes most of the time we have in such situation that we are going to tell the truth but when we think about while the situation if by truth some one gets hurt then they may lie with anyone to hurt others.

[b][/b]Yes, I don't think anybody can tell that he/she never told a lie even once in their life. I will not say that lying is good, sometimes there are an unavoidable circumstances that we need to tell a lie to get out of that situation, a white lie. What is bad is being a compulsive liar, who can get somebody into trouble just to save him/herself by lying.

well... I am an honest person..... but i cant tell that i am not a liar also.... i am pretty much sure that all the people in the world had lied more than once in their life.... i sometimes lie.... but not frequently.... i seldom lie.... most of my lies are white lies.... my point is, people cannot say they dont lie... we all lie... but in our own way and reasons....

yes some people if they have to speak lie then for the others benefits also.some times situation is like this we can not handle with the truth then we have to speak the lie at that spot ,to keep the game in our hand.so i think all of us they are telling a lie to anyone at any time.. God bless you.happy mylotting.

cool question.... If only it were as simple as the “liar,liar, pants on fire” nursery rhyme to tell when a person is lying to you. Ahhh, yes, if only their lying pants would burst in to flames life would be so much easier. Unfortunately liars rarely spontaneously combust and so we must find other ways to identify when somebody is being untruthful. Barring a blazing miracle the only shot that those of us who do not have a lie detector handy have at recognizing a liar is good old fashioned instinct, and body language.
