Truth and Lies

Tweet

Have you ever lied? Do you do what I call 'social lying'? Where you say something you don't really feel to get through a social situation. Do you lie to family members to get them to leave you alone? Do you lie to co-workers to get through the day or because you don't want them to know the truth about your real life? Do you lie about life, family, personal issues, relationship standing, etc. just to get people to think you are okay or doing better than you really are? Are there people you don't interact with because they do a lot of lying? Do liars really bug you? They do me. I can usually tell when a person is lying too. If I know them and have been around them. Do I call them on it? Sometimes. I used to lie to my significant other because I didn't want to get hit if I told him my true feelings. I used to lie to my mother because she was in my business so much. Now I don't have them to contend with thank goodness. I figure that life is just too short and I won't lie to anyone for any reason. It just isn't something I want to do. I live by the Golden Rule. If I don't want to be lied to I sure won't be one to lie. It is such a waste of time. Do you lie?
