When do you lie?
Why do you lie?
When do you prefer to keep some secrets to yourself, and not to tell?

Funeral is their best album.

You are goddamn right. :)

I'm very afraid
that is why i lie

I used to lie loads when I was a child, now I pretty much stopped. With great power comes great responsibility.

Also keeping secrets to yourself is not lying.

>>16592432
Well my lie is getting high and going to school so I won't be a jackass towards her
>>
I lie constantly to seem cooler.

I don't consider them lies, though. Being your best self isn't a scam.
>>
I lie to myself when I'm fighting my mind to stop having a crush on someone 8 years younger then me
>>
Avoid difficult and unwanted discussion, shame, or maintaining/creating image. My most important reasons.

>When do you lie?
Everyday as soon as I wake up.
>Why do you lie?
I do it so I can get through another day and seem normal do people.
>When do you prefer to keep some secrets to yourself, and not to tell?
I prefer to always keep secrets to myself, that's why they're called secrets.

I usually only lie when it really does not matter (like when you're filling out an application or a survey and one of the questions requires an answer) or when lying can deter or prevent an immediate threat or danger. Sometimes I 'misspeak' on the spot and accidentally say something not entirely true but basically true (hyperbole or small details)

I used to find it acceptable to lie to someone if you felt it necessary to test whether or not they would tell other people. For example, telling someone some stupid story or bullshit, and waiting to see if anyone else would bring it up. If so, you know not to trust that person with anything serious. If not, then maybe they didn't. If that makes sense.

I lie to myself every day (and I recommend the practice of positive self-deception!).

I lie to others mostly to protect their feelings or to avoid conflicts; never to get something that I want from them - it's purely a social smoothing-over tactic.

Deeply embarrassing things get kept to myself, but that's more or less it.
