Control, fear, revenge, love, hate, dedication, loyalty. I'm sure there are many other reasons. I'm just too tired.

Lying is something that comes naturally to many if u r good at it anyway.! SOME people lie because they don't want 2 anger or hurt the other person & get into any disputes or issues with them & hence to avoid making any enemies Some people just don't trust other people & r suspicious & probably insecure. AND some are just expert liars who cheat other people for their own personal reasons. Lying is not that much 2 be frowned upon b'coz some people lie to avoid hurting their LOVED ONE'S or may be they r shy .

Because they can. They want to. Sometimes lying feels better than telling an uncomfortable truth. Because They don't want you to know the truth. Because they think they can Hide behind the lie in question. Because they don't care about you enough to tell you the truth. Because they care about you too much to tell you the truth. That and 6 or 7 million other reasons.
Hope That clears that Up for ya.
Enjoy, And Happy New Year

People lie because of the people around them or their environment. What I mean is, when other people talk about how great their life is, other people feel like they have to live up to another person's standards. People lie to make their lives seem like something more or less than what it is.

Humans have been lying since it was first discovered that there could be something GAINED by doing so. Humans used to lie, and continue to do so, because it can bestow an "evolutionary" advantage. (I just mean, human beings have discovered over generations and generations that sometimes it is in their best interests to lie).
Everyone has to find their own balance within their conscience... how much honesty and how much deception can you live with?

firstly people lie because they are scared that the person may hit him and he doesn't want to be judge guilty and some people lie just to have their way as in business lie and lie to avoid yourself from embarrassment.

People lie because they choose to lie. People tell the truth because they choose to tell the truth.

People lie because they have fear. Fear is the stem of all lies.
People tell a lie because they are scared of the consequences of the truth.

according to nietzsche, lies are "necessary to life". or perhaps it can be said that lying is part of speaking. the only man with no capacity to lie would just as well be a man who is dumb and devoid of the capacity of speech. misrepresentations and misreports are lies as well, and sometimes rather enjoyable ones. people keep on lying because other people always like a good story. the "selective truths" employed in advertisting also show that lying can be rather lucrative business. mmm, why would i lie to you about that?

It is there way of controlling situations.
Lieing is used to avoid consequences or to avoid misunderstanding.
Sometimes the truth is a lie if it is interpreted incorrectly by the person who hears it.
