No one can live without saying a lie in his/her life.
If I say 'no' that would add up to my total lie in my life.

I do my best not to lie, but, by definition a lie is
–noun 1. a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.
2. something intended or serving to convey a false impression; imposture: His flashy car was a lie that deceived no one.
3. an inaccurate or false statement.
So basically anything that is not a whole truth is a lie. Even deception. It makes it very hard not to lie through the course of your life, a year or even a week. If I tell someone I'll be somewhere in 15 min and I'm there in 13 or 17, I have lied.

Yes. I am careful though not to tell a lie that will have repercussions on another and I have not done that so far to the best of my knowledge.

I've told white lies. "Yes, of course you look good in that dress. No your knees aren't knobbly. No I can't tell it's a fake tan. No size doesn't matter. Yes of course santa is real. No, I love to cook for you darling"
But my life was destroyed by my ex-husbands need to lie to me constantly. I am raising my children alone, because of lies. I am alienated from my family because of lies. My daughter's death was probably caused by lies.
So, no, I don't lie.
Honesty is the best policy!!

Yes and anyone who says no is lying because there is no way one person made it this far in their life without liying. There are lies of omission, white lies, etc, but a lie is a lie so there.

yes. We learnt to tell a lie to avoid uncomfortable situation. Now, I try to unlearn it. By and large, I do not utter a lie, consciously.

Of course. Often times to preserve someones feelings. Often times that 'someone' is myself. It is easier to lie than to fight or create friction. Everyone (I think) has there own justification for saying things that they know are not true. I know I completely justify mine.

Depending on how I define a lie.
