Why do people lie online?  |
|
Why do people lie on the inernet?I know people figure that it's so faceless, no body knows you. So I'm not really talking about sites like MyLot, I guess I'm talking about sits with "comuniites" and people being on several sites where they are easy to identify, like using the same photo . A couple of months ago I recognised someone from an online auction site I'm on, he had his profile on another site and just about evrything he said about himself wasn't true. I know this cause I've met him several times at functions. So I'm just wandering if people do this kind of thing shouldn't they be a bit smarter? Or maybe honest? Not that I'm saying anyone should be dishonest. You always hear about lies online, but this really got me thinking. So I guess the quetion is if you lie online, do you think you can ever get caught out?

1. manong05 (2932) | 1 month ago | It's not much diferent from the real world. People do lie. On the net it's easier thinking that nobody knows them and they can do whatever they want, it's a virtual world anyway. Habitual liars often make mistakes, sooner or later they will get caught in one way or another.
enjoy!

4. scheng1 (1656) | 1 month ago | People lie online and offline. Even parents can lie to their children, and many do not feel about lying. It's just a fact of life. I interview many job candidates, and they are stupid enough to lie about their last salary. They probably think that I will not check with their last companies, but I will, especially when I suspect something wrong. Sometimes you just know when people lie, online or offline. I caught many gamers lying in online games. They usually lie about their age and gender. Some lies about practically everything.

5. mesuaky (253) | 1 month ago | people lie to cover up something, or to pretend that they are someone they are really not, some do it for fun, others do it to harm other people, people who lie have intentions on why they lie, most of the time its not good.

7. Sandra1952 (1433) | 1 month ago | The thing with the internet is it provides a cloak of anonymity, so inadequate people can turn themselves into the type of person they want to be, or the type of person they think others will admire. As they're never likely to meet the people they are lying to, they're happy to go along with the illusion. Part of me feels sorry for them, but the other part screams, 'Go get a life!' If you're not honest with yourself, how can you be honest with others? I really don't get it, and I hope I'm never reduced to lying about myself, on the internet or anywhere else.

agv0419 (2059) | 1 month ago | Yes it is easy to on the internet that's why I'm very careful about the people I meet on the net because I never know if there are telling the truth or they are lying. I'm never lie here or even to others that I'm meeting online I'm afraid of karma and I don't want to add my sins anymore. Some people having fun of lying to others.

missbdoll (1061) | 2 weeks ago | I really don't get it either, I guess I'm just too honest. Why make up stuff, especialy in a situtation were it's so easy to get caught? You just end up looking an idiot ( and dishonest )

8. crystallight1l (244) | 1 month ago | Well, people always lie. Even if in real life, we always lie. It's a habit (a bad one, usually breaks relationships) and it tends to break trust (e.g. the scammers in internet businesses). It's also a safety issue, telling the truth may lead to tons of spam in real email inbox, information in profiles can be taken for stalking or creating scams. When you mention a person you know is lying on other site, he/she may have a good reason;It depends on what site and what they were lying. Although internet is a good resource for finding information and connecting to others, but it may have it's negative aspects.

9. SomeCowgirl (7909) | 1 month ago | I am not really sure why people feel they need to lie or should lie. I guess it's in a way an outlet, or maybe they are insecure about things in the real world but online they get a chance to be someone different. I wouldn't call it dishonesty, but it is lieing.
