Just because it feels good or because it is.... convenient...just in case?

Yes, but never more than little white lies, so it's Ok. It's immoral to tell myself big lies, because how would I like it if the tables were turned and I were on the receiving end of those lies instead?

It's more like deceiving ourselves. We can deceive ourselves in so many ways. We can tell ourselves that we are born with a sin we have no power over which is not true. Jesus said you must be born again, meaning to take on the nature of Jesus.

I'm told I do. I tend to be a very negative person who doesn't feel worthy of alot of things I have. I have been told to stop telling myself the lies and accept that I'm not a horrible person. I still feel like a failure though.

It is not possible. Do you think you can lie to yourself? No way. If you can then for me you are a believer.

No reason to lie to myself. However, if the mood strikes me, others make a very nice target.

When I eat a whole pint of chocolate fudge brownie ice cream and tell myself that it's all right; there's calcium and protein in it...

I may lie to myself, but it doesn't really hold up when things get quiet.

I have lied to myself before and will probably again. usually trying to make myself feel my situation is better than it is.
everyone has lied to themselves at least once, whether they know they did or not!
