    I lie on occasions to keep myself from getting into trouble or if I feel that the truth would only hurt a person and they wouldnt gain from knowing the truth or if the answer to their question is none of their business but I dont want to say this to them.

    I did tell lies but on certain reasons. Sometimes when you lied, you will find the truth and that is what happen to me when I lied to two different persons in the end I found out that both parties lied and all their words purely lies.

    I've lied several times in my life time. Certain lies i regret, others need to lie to keep from getting in trouble. But the biggest lie I've ever told was that I was unhappy in my relationship with my partner that lie I do regret.

    I never lie /Now that's a lie in its self .

    But seriously I only tend to lie if it mean saving someone from acute embarrassment and therefore make the particular person very sad or upset .

    I use to be a real bad liar as in everything that came out my mouth was a lie to my parents. i use to say I'm going to church when really i was going to my boyfriends house and that's where i stopped because my dad finally caught up to my lies and caught me and let me tell you i got in so much trouble and my parents sold my car it sucked. so its best you go ahead and tell the truth don't be like me and get yourself in more crap then you can get out of.

    I agree with Agent 47...I am a little too honest at times as well. And if I try to lie about something stupid I make this face, which is labeled "lie face" and I am busted anyway.
