Are you a good liar? Does fibbing come naturally or do you have to work hard at it?

Question

Some people can lie so convincingly...can you?

Answer 1

I NEVER LIE!!!



believe me?

Answer 2

I guess some people can tell lies convincingly and it is believable. Then there are politicians that do not lie but decieve by ommition, together with people that twist the question to suit the best answer that makes them appear in a good light. Or answers like Bill Clinton gave something along the lines of " it depends on what your definition of 'is' is?" which gets no one anywhere. Clinton worked hard at a subject that he enjoyed and in consequence was good at the job. The only thing that he was bad at was hiding his own pleasure at his delight in his own achievements and the level of manipulation that he was able to achieve.
Look at any politician and ask yourself if they are liars.
They hide the truth. They do not answer questions that would incrimenate themselves. They continually avoid the direct question that only needs a yes or no answer.
No I cannot tell lies that are belivable.
All I can do is omit to talk about certain things that were probably better if they never happened and best forgotten. There have not been many of these occasions. But there are some things that I have done that I regret doing or saying and would prefer to forget as I cannot make time go back and undo what has been done.

Answer 3

It just comes to me. Some people would say I can't tell the difference from true and lie any more, but it's not like it. It's just that when I find myself in a tricky situation, I lie naturally, like it was true. The most important thing is think fast, without it you're screwed, what people would say, you get strangled with your own lies. You have to be an idiot to do that. Otherwise, you get it with time. Practice, practice, practice... That's all you need to do.

Answer 4

A good lie is the truth told unconvincingly, a partial truth carefully edited, or an untruth. All take practice. A good liar will never reveal himself, so it's impossible for me to say whether I'm good or not. Besides, would you take the word of a liar?

Answer 6

Well lieing does come naturally to everyone, because we're all not perfect people. Infact everybody lies about alot of things, for example; say someone ishaving a problem with understanding what someone is trying to tell them but the person there trying to talk to about it, they can't quite make out what thier trying say and ask's them if there is somthing wrong but the other person just blose them off and say's (naugh!!!) then thir for they are telling them a lie.

Answer 7

I wish i could lie. I'm the worst liar ever. I don't even try it anymore and in the rare occasions that I do lie and start to get away with it my conscience betrays me and i end up telling the truth. It's so not true that "the truth will set you free" it usually gets me in more trouble LOL

Answer 8

I have to be the worst liar ever, which is a good thing i suppose.. I get such a guilty expression that's so obvious that it's pointless me even trying to lie because people can see right through it:(

Answer 9

I can if it is not hurtful. I pulled off the best surprise party last weekend but in the process I had to lie to my husband so he would not suspect anything. That type of lying I am good at, I would never lie to hurt someone though

Answer 10

I'm a man,married for 27 years I had to learn to do the odd bit of fibbing to stay alive !

Answer 11
