"Small and big lies: are they different and how you treat them?"

That's true. Small and big lies are LIES after all. They breach the trust of the one being lied to. Though sometimes, when a lie is committed and caught, we have to discern what's the motive behind. If it is to hide something in order for us not to get hurt, maybe it's still pardonable when apology is asked by the liar.

Hi there and nice to see you again. My friend, a lie is a lie...big or small, it is still dishonest. People lie from fear of being caught out in something they have done wrong. It's always best to tell the truth so your conscience can be clear.

Hi, Danzylop. A lie is a lie. It does not matter if it is big or small. If a person tells a small lie, this small lie can eventually turn into a big lie. If a person is untruthful, it makes it very hard for me to trust them. No lie should ever be told because it only makes someone seem untrustworthy.

Of course they're different. I usually just ignore small lies. When it comes to big lies, I don't let it go. I wait for the right moment when I can do something about it.

Hello Danzylop and welcome back! Yes I don't see a difference in lies as both of them will cause me to loose trust in the person. I understand if a person lies thinking that it will prevent the person from being hurt. But in the long run the truth always surfaces and the person will find out. It will make the small lie to be yet bigger then before as there are not words to explain why someone would not respect me enough in telling me the truth no matter how much it hurts to begin with. Sadly not all at the moment think this way and if only they understood that although a the circumstance will be painful, in the long run the person will be respected more for being honest.

Hello Danzylop, If this girl is like hurting you a lot more than mmaking you happy i think you should just let her go. but if it's a relative it's probably because you are not close. no one tells the truth now a days. to be honest, no one actually tells the truth all the time. i feel sorry that you are experiencing this problem my friend. remember, we are here to help you out

Small lies tend to get out of control rather quickly with some people. Sure people might not see the harm in really telling one here. But a lie here becomes another lie here, then another lie there, and eventually we are just off to the races, with lies in every single absolutely direction. A group of small lies can eventually form into one big mess. The truth can hurt but that is just something that people are going to have to deal with. We tell the truth and then we are just going to really deal with everything that goes along with. There are many people who in fact lie time after time, just a little fib here, but a little fib can turn into something rather huge. And only a real dedicated person can keep all of the lies straight.

Lie is always lie and It does not have any difference to me. My partner lied to me once and I worn him that no matter what the truth he should not lie to me again in other case our relationship got no sense. I couldn't be with person who lies to me. How could I trust this person? And without trust our life would be hellish.

Lies are lies whether they are small or big you are still saying something that isn't true so I see it as the same thing.

Small Lie, Big Lie. It's still a lie. It will hurt no matter what. I'm not gonna hate or disrespect them, because I lie too, but at I do not blame anyone or run away from it. I explain myself right or wrong. I want them to understand! I believe in the goodness of people. :)
