The Way We Lie

[ChibiV]

I'm glad the board is back, I keep on checking it every single day.

I'm not good of explaining things, if you can explain it better, please do.

Which of those lies do you use the most?

[color=crimson][size=1] Hmmm...I'd have to say White Lies, Facades, Ommision, and Dismissal are my biggest.[/color][/size]

[Boba Fett]

[COLOR=green]Omission, Delsuion.

I use delusion all the time. I tell myself "You have time to go to OtakuBoards, you can write that three page essay on the bus to school tommorow..." :rolleyes:

Omission, I save it for special situations ;)[/COLOR]

[color=red][b]When I lie(which is rare) I do that one....[/b][/color]

[conpiracymonki]

[b][size=1]The out-and-out lies that you say to friends purposefully so as to have a good laugh, and the odd sarcastic lie, and white lies...[/b][/size]

[vegeta rocker]

I'd tell you but i might be lying.
hee hee
alright corny tastless jokes aside, facades. I find myself in the constant position of lying to keep up my position as what people perceive me to be.

[Hideki]

Omission is the only kind of lying I can think of doing:rolleyes: Other than that I'm not liar :lecture:

[Sara]

Out-and-out. It's fun. In more delicate situations, I cleverly veer the topic of conversation in a different direction.

[Juu]

[color=deeppink] [size=1]Lie? Oh boy, I [i]never lie[/i] :naughty:

I'm not sure.... I try not to lie at the most..:whoops:

But... I never stereotype...[/color] [/size]

[Guest Solid Snake]

[color=teal]I suppose that I usually use Omission when my parents catch me "teaching" my younger brother.

I also use Out-and-Out lies just to joke around. I do this because my friend does it -- he keeps a straight face and tells a total lie. It's pretty funny.

Example:
"Hey, how many cards do you have?"
"10."
(a different kid)"How many cards you got?"
"12."
"Hey! You said you had 10."
"I said [i]about[/i] 10."

Oh man, you'd had to have been there.[/color]

:blah:

[Saiya-jinro]

White lie. I've only done it a few times though. I'm not a lying person.

[PiroMunkie]

[color=indigo]I [i]very[/i] rarely, if never, [b]seriously[/b] lie. I hate them with a passion. The only time I lie will be to get me, or another person I know and care for out of trouble. The only hard part is coming up with good reason, explanation, and an alibi. Unless it is something serious, as in a crime, then I won't lie for the person or myself.

On the other hand, I only lie in jokes. Like the ever-so-almost-overused Out-and-out lies. Whenever someone asks me in a light manner who did something, out of reflex I always say "Your mom!". I spite how cliche that phrase is, but it has become habit. It still gets laughs though. I only use stereotypes in jokes and humor, and only around people I know won't be offended by anything I say. I don't believe all stereotypes, though some have proven to be pretty accurate...[/color]

[Empathy]

hmm...for me...I'd prolly have to say facades...if that includes masks...I live in them...they're part of me...very few people have ever seen thereal me...only maybe....3 of my friends have ever seen me really upset...mind you...I don't have much for friends...^_^;;; but the ones I do got are the best anyone could have...but that's off topic...so yeah...for me...facades. Just because of the way I live...

[color=crimson][size=1] :rotflmao: How utterly amusing! I was all over the floor. Your friend reminds me of myself a little.

"Evelyn, where are you going?" (Friend)

"The library." (Me)

-Later, with friend still there-

"Evelyn, where are you going?" (Different Friend)

"E-Z Mart." (Me)

"But you said you were going to the library!" (Friend)

"You must have something in you ear." (Me)[/color][/size]

[Juu]

[color=deeppink] [size=1]LOL!

Which reminds me...

There's a friend of my cousin's that just will not leave me alone in aol instant messanger....

"brb''

''Huh? Where are ya goin?''

''I'm gonna go eat my japanese food"

"oh..ok"

-about 15 min later, I make a post on OB-

''Hey! You said you were going to eat!''

''..."

''Well...''

''Um.. when did I say that?''

'' A few minutes ago!!''

''Are you sure?''

-he's the type of person that closes a window each time-

''...yes.."

"I don't remember saying that. I said I was just going to get something"

"Hmm.... But I was sure..."

"Hmm.. Maybe my keyboard's screwing up"

"I guess so..."

- .- It's like he's stalking my comp or something....

He doesn't even go here....[/color] [/size]

[COLOR=darkblue]I rarely lie seriously to people I know or an authority figure (should the need ever arise). Though, when I do, I'm usually guilty of Facades and Omission. People can see through me pretty clearly enough to tell if I'm lying straight out or not, so I just don't, or just have a play on words.[/COLOR]

[ChibiV]

No delusion lie so far

[Genkai]

FACADES FACADES FACADES. i mean, raging hormones what can you do?

sometimes lying's the easiest way to ease in to a date..(ex: me: "i don't really know if i like you(LIE #1), but do you wanna just try(LIE #2) it out? I mean, there's not much to lose, is there?(LIE #3) I mean, it's only one date(LIE #4)....")......

anyway, impressing someone is best before you get to know them. well, not MORALLY, but whatever...

[Lady Macaiodh]

[COLOR=darkblue]i think i lie to myself the most.

i tell myself everything's okay, when in reality it's really ****ed, & i bury everything i feel. it's not good b/c you could explode (friendly advice).[/COLOR]

[Heaven's Cloud]

[color=indigo]I don't need to delude myself...I am the greatest, most perfect person in existence...

To be honest (that is a phrase you [u]never[/u] use when you are talking about lying) I used to fibb to my parents when I was in highschool about everything...drugs, booze, sex...but I stopped lying to them when they stopped asking me questions.[/color]

[Manic Webb]

I guess I'd have to say omission and dismissal.

As I've said before: "I only lie when necessary or convenient."

[Sephiroth]

Dismissal and Delusion, both are being used a lot by me these days

[Guest Voodookanaka]

straight out lie for me, no doubt, i only lie for my own gain, i have no other reason to, i prefer to just tell someone n hurt their feelings rather than the whole lying and fooling them.
-x-

[Kei]

[color=blue]If I do lie, which I hardly ever do, I only tell white lies, though in the past, I have put on quite a few facades. I don't anymore, though. If people can't accept me for who I am, oh well.[/color]

[Fall]

I find it really hard not to lie sometimes.... :rolleyes: And when I do, it's usually a white-lie or omission.
