Why are you ashamed of who you really are?

Lie is often done as a defense mechanism. You will not know sometimes that you have lied. It is a way of preservation purposes.Sometimes acceptance of the truth can be painful that a lie is made for the purpose of protecting yourself or someone else involved. Just like if someone asks you: "How are you?" Certainly you will reply: "I am fine" even if you are in worst situation. Isn't it a lie?
But lying to hide who you really are because you are ashamed your real identity to be revealed is another story. It could be out of hypocrisy or there could be an acceptable reason for this which you can cite various examples. Anyway, if you have no valid reason for masking your true identity it is a true lie and is morally unacceptable.
Anyway, accept it or not, everyone do lie isn't it? It is a fact that small lies spices up life and is helpful in any relationship but anyone must know the limits. I am sure you have lied too by anyway.

Who sent you the message that people on here are lying? I think that's really a harsh judgement and how would you know? I don't think that's a fair question. I come on here, to share what I have learned in life, what has worked, what hasn't, not to lie, but to help others. If there are people who make up crap, then let them live with it, that's their problem, not yours or mine. I don't think people are ashamed, I think its hard for some to go deep and share what has happened and take responsibility for it. It all happens, in time............but don't judge people and say things like<"Why do most of you life?" Not a fair question, but it's your miust 5 points, hope it was worth it for you!

I don't think it's a case of ashamed, but a desire for that other person to like you. Sometimes the brain goes on pause. You don't want to take the chance of them not liking the real you, so you want to hold back until the "right time".

it's not that... it's just that some wacko job manager will google you up or spot your picture and pull all kinds of personal things 'bout you or whatever... you have to be REALLY careful about how and to whom you can share info online.
