why people llie?

There are many reasons why people lie. For some, lying is already natural while for some, they do it for a reason. Maybe to save themselves for something. What ever reason there is, bare in mind that there are some lies that can actually do good once done.

People lie because of different reasons. Some people lie because they are doing something wrong, they want to hide the wrong things that will make you mad, sad and hurt. Some people also lie for some good purpose as long as no one will feel hurt and bad.

This tells you all about why the people lie in a clear and vivid way. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4072816/

Who hasn't told a lie at some point in their lives? Think about it. Even if you tell a half-truth, for, say, not to hurt friend's feelings, then you're still lying. It's human nature. It doesn't make you an evil person if you lie. Now if you lie all the time, then yeah, it'd be hard for people to trust you.

by birth peoples are ot a lier. bu some situations in their life maks them to lie. For example one of the por boy may feel he want mobile. so he theft others money. if they ask would you taken my money. he tell no i don't take. here the reason for lie is mobile .so like this some reasons are makng them to lie

Telling lies is part of the human nature. We are made imperfect and telling lies has its own purposes. It can benefit or ruin someone's life or lives. I, myself, do tell white lies especially on my cousin's advantage since his father is notorious that if his father knew it, my cousin is in big trouble.

I know few people who lie all the time. I am sick and tired of it and I try to avoid such people.They are compulsive liars. Lying is the normal way of respond for some people.They will resort to telling lies, regardless of the situation.....

i think lying is part of human nature. for me i commit white lies. but still its a lie. people lie for many reasons. 1. to be accepted by peers 2. to make himself/herself look good or self esteem 3. to escape trouble or save face, prevent confrontation the list might be endless.. but there's limit on lies. if they do it constantly then that person is a person who doesnt deserve your trust. i know the effects of being cheated and lied about. its destructive and hurts us a lot. if people cheat, it might be because they're no longer happy with the relationship and is afraid to confront the problem and decide to hide that fact. if people lie about their situation, it might be because they want to be accepted by those around them or to make themselves look good and gain other people's approval. small white lies is harmless but lies done constantly that greatly affects other people is not good. so i guess its best to stay away from these type of people. they need to be given a dose of their own medicine. they should learn the aftereffects of their doings.

There are many reasons for a person to lie. It could be immaturity, or when people are scared of others, when they think that telling truth may get them into trouble and so on. In fact we all lie at some point or the others. But telling lies to that extent that we make fools of ourselves is not good. Telling a lie for others or our good is accepted to an extent, but being a liar always is definitely not good and that person proves as dangerous to people around him.

I guess it's already become a habit for them. It shows character to be able to tell the truth when presented with a difficult situation.

There is absolutely no specific reasons for the people to lie. It may be for many reasons. May be for material and physical gain people may lie and there are many causes for lying. Some people are trained and professional liars but some lie to escape from a particular situation. SOmetimes lie may be told if it is going to create saomething good for the people. Hence Lie can be of many forms and depending upon the intensity of the lies, people are judged according to that.

an average person tells lots of lies in a day, even sometimes we may do it unintentionally or just to save ourselves from trouble, though it is morally wrong to tell lies but there are some situations where we have to do it just to save destructions of some people from imminent problems

well, I belive that there are many many reasons why ppl lie...sometimes you lie to save face, sometimes you lie inorder to spare a friends feelings, etc. I think when you lie for no reason, that's when you have issues..hahah..But I think little white lies here and there are not bad. If the lie becomes huge and starts hurting those around you, then you should fess up...

Lying is a defense mechanism. Everyone does it to some point. Even though you say you don't lie, you really do. Maybe it might be different with women. Although you must remember the saying that lying even once only puts you into a deeper lie.

People lie for many reasons, fear, selfishness, etc... Sometimes the truth hurts, but its a pain that we have to bear so that we can be free. People lie to protect themselves or other people, because they fear rejection, or because they just want to intentionally make a fool of someone. I do not believe in white lies, a lie is still a lie no matter what the intention is. You would still be mad at someone for lying to you even if they say that they lied so that you will not get hurt right? So their intetion was good but what they did was still wrong.

i think some people lie because they want to protect something or somebody, they are hiding something that they don't like others to know, they don't want to hurt somebody's feeling (which they think that would be a good way but not realizing that it will hurt that person more if they will find out the truth!) i think all people are liars sometimes. me i do lie sometimes but just like you white lies and if i lie i do my best to keep it so that i will not hurt anybody. but i know that lying can't do any good...(just my opinion)

People lie because they cannot find the truth to say or they are afraid to say the truth to either protect themsleves or someone or to hide another lie so this is why people lie. The more lies are sai the more one becomes good at it and might lie for very little things too so lying is a vicious cycle, when you want to hide a lie, you lie and when you are afraid to say the truth you lie so it is very wrong. I also lie for petty things an I can be honest with that. I never lie to hurt someone because this is wrong.

Yes you are absolutly right i also observe people very closely and i foubd there are three kind of liers 1. one who are habitual lier to lie is very simple to them, these people lie without reason i menn without any advantage ,at the time of gossiping my grand ma do this many times when she talk abt her past . 2.whi lie with a plan in mind, they know they are doing something which is against society but for there own advantage they do such thing like tax payment etc 3. people who lie because of some valid reason for helping some one, there lie dont harm aney one

i can forgve people if they tell lies for something thats good but not to hurt others however telling a lie is a sin and god will be upgrading our account in the helll iif we do so i believe.and the other thing is that a person who tells lies and hurts others can never be happy becausev though he is happy by doing that at that instant he will later feel guilty for thatand h will feel that something is eating hi up from inside because hs conscience knows what is right and whats wrong

hi dear frankly speaking am against it..well sometimes it happens when someone has to lie in order to help someone but lying to do something wrong is not really good...ask them for reasons y they lie??there must have been many reasons....
