How often do you lie?

I don't lie very much, because I know that I am not very good at it! I don't really feel guilty when I lie, as it is usually necessary when I do it. How do you feel when you lie, and what kinds of lies do you tell? For example, do you lie about cheating on your partner, or do you lie about taking out the trash?

I do not lie. I am so plain spoken it would probably make people feel better sometime if i did. Telling lies gets u nowhere. U TELL ONE THEN U HAVE TO TELL ANOTHER TO COVER UP THE FIRST ONE, TOO MUCH TROUBLE.I hate to be lied to!!

that is exactly why i tell only 'disposable' lies!i couldn't bother to create a whole convoluted story for something that ultimately doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.....

i lie everyday, but only to my parents. i do it because i have an eating disorder. so i tell them that i ate certain things when i didn't, and i tell them i have no idea what my weight is. but i have a scale hidden in my dresser. i think it's okay to tell white lies. they aren't bad. a lie goes on forever...unless it's a white lie. i think it's better to lie to your parents than your partner. but it depends what you're lying about...soo...i don't know.
