Do you ever lie, just a little (or a lot) or even make up fake accounts to be a different person (no I'm not talking 40 yr old man pretends to be a 16yr old boy to kidnap and assault a 14yr old girl) I'll admit I try to be honest but I do stretch the truth a little, sometimes when I go into coatrooms and I will pretend to be someone different. I actually mix it up a little, sometimes I am 100% brutally honest about anything and everything (and they never believe me when I am) and sometimes the only lie I'm not telling is that fact that I'm using AIM, or Yahoo. I also made a fake myspace to catch my ex boyfriend cheating (sadly, it was a very poorly made, and obviously fake account, yet he fell for it anyway) I'm honest on most message boards though, mostly because I actually want the answer tot he question I am asking, and because it's rare that anyone on the boards actually knows me (one person here does) so why not tell the truth, some people wont believe me anyway. Besides, there really is no point lying in a forum.

Sometimes, if I have to lie I would ( just some of it ) but most of the time I’m 100 percent honest. I do go to chat rooms anymore because I feel they are not being honest when I’m totally honest with them.

Hi babytaffster, I have done that.. I have an extra account to chat with other girls pretending to be another person.. Sometimes is fun, but is boring to lie to the other person because I don't even know is the other person is real or not.. I have more fun being who I am and not lying.. just for the record.. haha

I am always honest about who I am. I feel that you should always be honest about such things, otherwise any respect or friendship you may garner from a false association is truly not a friendship, nor is it repsect. If you can not be one hundred percent honest with everyone about who you are, then you must be ashamed of yourself. That is the only reason I could see someone lying about themselves. I for one am not ashamed of myself. I am rather proud of who I am, and no one will ever change that fact. Life if life, if you choose to live it in a lie then that is your choice, but I for one will truly live life in honesty.
