Do you ever lie to make yourself feel better about yourself, and then you have to keep track of all your lies?

Question

and then you get confused on what you said to this person, and to that person, and finally your whole life is a lie, and you don't even know what you are about or what you stand for, so you hide away in your closet, trying to find your old baseball cards when you were younger because you heard that they might be worth something, and then your mom tells you that she got rid of them when you moved, so then you decided to go outside and smoke a bowl in the cabanna?

Answer 1

I try to stick to a basic script. I dont lie that I am a famous rockstar or anything, but I will tell a few white lies about who I have slept with or how much money I make. I make the lies plausible so I can partially prove the lie to people, or I speak in generalities, so people wont check up on me.

Answer 2

WOW! No, not personally but I can definitely see how that would happen. I have lied, but then have either told the truth, or the lie was so minor, that it didn't matter anyways. I know people like that though. This guy couldn't tell the truth if he wanted too! He was as super nice guy too, gorgeous, great bod, and just a super nice guy! He had NO reason to lie but he did. I had another friend like that and EVERYONE knew he was lying about everything. He used to tell us at a very young age, like 16, that he was a helicopter pilot? HELLO? At sixteen? Anyways, I know of people like that and I guess there would be specific levels of this, eh? Like one person could tell a lie and let it get a bit out of hand, but then there are some people that are just compulsive about it....things that make you go hmm........

Answer 3

I lied a lot when I was younger. The reasons were stupid, more to do with family pride than my own, but it's not like anyone told me I had to be a liar, you know? Lies have a way of piling up, and when you tell them, you feel like shite. I never believed any of my lies...but there was always a heaviness in my heart for each one, and a wish I could take it back and never do it in the first place. You can't go back, but you can tell the truth at the very least, or never lie again.

Answer 4

I suppose sometime in the distant past when I was much younger and a lot less secure (not that I'm the tower of confidence now!!) I may have fabricated a few tales to make myself feel more important or to make someone else feel I was more important. I hope I'm past that phase, but I guess you can never tell what might cause some insecure feeling to arise that might trigger that behavior. However, I hope I'm past that time in my life for good. I certainly pray that I won't resort to anything that immature now that I've grown older and hopefully wiser.

Answer 5

tis best to not begin lieing. it doesn't really make you feel better about yourself, because you know it's a lie to begin with so not only does your life already suck but now you are a liar on top of that. best bet is to just be yourself. and smoking a bowl in the cabana isnt gonna help anything either cuz you are just hiding escaping from reality...which will be right there waiting for you once you are over your buzz

Answer 6

this is crazy but funny and true-yeah it usually comes back to bite you in the a----but if it makes you feel a little better @ the moment & im talking a lie that won't hurt anyone -what the h-- have some fun w/ it!!!! But if you get into some bigger and darker things-don't do it-bite the bullet and come clean-ever read the poem by the unknown author "the man in the mirror"

Answer 7

Not myself, even if sometimes I do to hide my responsability>
My husband is a Master in that, and because he's not able to keep tracks , he made the things worse and difficult for everybody around him. He can't recognize that, he applied this attitude even for the important things and that has been the ruin of our relationship. Take responsability for everything, because almost everything can be fixed

Answer 8

I don't feel the need to lie to make myself feel better. I have a husband who gives me enough compliments about me that makes me feel good about myself.
The fact is that once you begin lying, it snowballs on you and makes you feel horrible about yourself rather than good about yourself. Why not try to do good things for others so that they want to tell you good things about yourself? That would make you happy and out of trouble.

Answer 9

this is funny!!i have lied. when u lie one time u have 2 tell another lie 2 cover up the last lie. i've never done what you've done through.

Answer 10

That's me I only lie when I need to but you really do have to keep track of it or you'll get busted.
