Question

many people in this world lie and do something that some one dont expect many people advice each other that he/she should not lie but they themselves always lie.there are very little people in the world who always speak the truth.Why do the people lie. i am in a big big confusion please somebody help!

Answer 1

Some people lie simply because they can...some do it to try to make themselves seem better than they are. Some do it to protect themselves.

It isn't always necessary to "speak the truth" if it hurts someone else for no good reason -- but that doesn't require lying. Just don't talk at all.

Answer 2

Lots of reasons for a person to revert to the lie. Some people just have boring lives, and want to make themselves appear more interesting to others. Some people are manipulative and lie to gain something they want and don't have. Some people are pathological liars, and do it for shits and grins. Some tell the white lie thinking it will save others hurt feelings. Some tell lies to hide secrets, hide shame.

I doubt if anyone tells the truth all of the time. The truth hurts sometimes, and most people are gentle towards friends and loved ones. Sometimes those sweet little white lies aren't so bad. Sometimes the truth is.

Answer 3

People lie because they want to be accepted, and also because human nature can not always keep up all the details without any changes.
People who have great imagination lie more, not because they are layers, but because they see further things. It could be the truth for them, but not for the others.
Truth is something relative.

Answer 4

Sometimes, lies are said with noble intentions. Some people think that by lying, they are protecting the listening from the hurtful truth. Sometimes, lies are also given when there are people or things to be protected. Lies are lies, it is not a good thing but just know that most of the time, lies happen because it is just the easier way out.

Please do not take that personally. Just remember, people always have their own "valid" reasons why they do things. :)

Answer 5

There are many reasons why people can lie. Some can include: to get out of trouble, to make people happy, the truth isn't good, for fun, to get out of doing something, to make yourself seem like ur better at something, so someone doesn't get hurt, so people will like u, and maybe you hate someone so u make up lies about them.

Answer 6

people lie because often times they are scared of who they really are or dont really know who they are. Or do know who they are and dont want to reveal it because of security issues or maybe they have skeletons in the closet that they are just not ready to reveal many times u have to give people time let them reveal the truth threw actions instead of words watch them and how they express there selfs. People also lie because of simple ignorance they just dont know what they are talking about so they fake it till they make it.

Answer 7

Even Gandhi said, u can lie a little if its for the betterment of others! but when ppl keel telling lies, its more like a disease and it can give some real pain in the heart to self and to others!

Answer 8

Because most people in the world aren't worth the time of day.

Look out for yourself in the world, but not to the point of arrogance.

Answer 9

Do not lie. Always speak the truth. Otherwise your problem increase much.

Answer 10

Liars lack self-respect. That doesn't require hubris or pride - just enough self-confidence to accept the consequences of being one's self. . That also entails being open to learn. Liars are basically frightened people, and learn little. That's why they are so pitiful.
