| lying is seen as morally wrong to do, but everyone usually does a white lie here and there. personally i believe that people lie for their benefit like for example, cheating on ya girlf and then lying to your girlf saying that you didn't cheat, the cheating was for sexual interests of the person. another example would be lying to get out of trouble and maybe even blaming someone else, you do that so you won't be punished. but we hate liars because they usually don't benefit us or what the truth is that they are hiding will hurt us. what hurts us even more is finding out the person that we trusted did lie to us, back to the boyf cheating on a girlf, that lie will most likely break the girls heart and make her hate him for what he has done, betrayal. however, this will not stop people lying because who are we here for at the end of the day in this world? ourselves. |

| im a fan of white lies or harmless lies but afaik i never or rarely do it especially on the internet where nobody i know in real life is here like on MAL white lies at least are good to be part of your social skills in real life especially in a job/work that mandates you to socialize, for example if you are feeling stress or frustration then you cannot simply be angry at the customers or co-workers so telling white lies on those cases are better, you can also get more customers that way |

| For self-preservation, profit, and amusement (trolling). Some are harmless and will help you prosper, while others will cause destruction. Being 100% honest is a fool's strategy. |

| Lies make our life easier somehow, white lies make other people lifes easier. One may think always telling the truth to each other make understanding each other easier but that's not how it work in our society. Being honest is almost always a risk. |

| As a liar, I think I have an idea as to why. I mainly do it for convenience, but for a lot of liars and even honest people it’s compulsive. By the way, lies made by average people are often only inconveniencing them and make their life harder. |

| Sometimes lying is better for the other person than telling them the truth. Of course it's morally wrong, but sometimes the truth is more painful to hear. |

| Why do users creates shitty thread? Why do users have shit-taste and why do they always gets baited when there's a Elitist thread? I'm wondering why there's always; or at least every week a ecchi thread Now, I'm seriously wondering when will MAL Mods remade CD to CE 2.0 and AD to Ecchi Discussion since that's almost as what it can offer. Why didn't MAL Mods think that CE should be renamed for Politics Discussion, more befitting and less baity if you ask me. |

| Lying is something we all do in our lives, and it can be negative or positive. A negative lie is when you want to get away from doing something, or if you cover for a friend for something they've done. So, a negative lie is obviously bad, and if you keep getting caught lying, then you could be the boy who is crying wolf. There can be positive lies, as well, which is called a "white lie". It is when something is negative, but you lie to make it look positive. For example, a woman has a not-so-good looking baby. In this case, you could be honest and say: "your baby looks like someone defecated on a skunk and got ran over!"; or, you could tell a white lie and not look like a mental monster: "Your baby has great eyebrows!" A white lie makes you look more optimistic, and other people could learn from you about being more "positive." Pretty sure that there's more types of lies, but these are the most common ones! :D |

| psycho said: literally why Why not? psycho said: why do we do it Because we can psycho said: what do we get out of it It gives us an advantage in certain situations psycho said: everyone's lied at least once in their life so why do some people hate liars Because people who lie too much or lie in situations where it is irredeemable and was found out are seen as fake and untrustworthy, but being untrustworthy is the main reason psycho said: why do we hate ourselves Not everybody, and for various reasons. I would hope most of us don't psycho said: whats real anymore The things we deem as important psycho said: h e l p Get a pet |

| Self protection. Even if you're actually protecting yourself from something you're the cause of. Some lie to avoid longer conversations. In this case I may on occasion "agree" with people on subjects I don't want to talk about, just so they stop talking. (Although I don't do it to friends, since it would screw every single bit of trust a relationship needs to exist.) People don't like when other people lie because it creates insecurity. You can't be sure how to act, when you have the wrong info about the situation. |

And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living, until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet. Until the sun is long since gone. Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open. Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from. He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out. |

| People lie for a bunch of different reasons like excitement, feeling better about themselves, sparing peoples emotions, getting out of a tricky situation etc. And then you have people lying just to wreak havoc. Not defending liars and personally hate being lied to as well, but I don't think modern society would survive if everyone suddenly started telling the truth :p |

| Why do we do it ? There are many reasons we lie, be it either to get what we want, to hide painful truth from someone, to make ourselves look better. Many, many reasons. What do we get out of it ? Possibly material values, emotional ease. someone's attention. Sometimes nothing, and we still lie. Why do people hate liars ? If someone lied in their life and still hate liars, then he/she is a hipocrite, but that happens. Or maybe he/she hates that he/she lied in the past and puts that hatred into others too ? Or his/her trust was betrayed in the past and now he/she hates lies, as he/she imagines that past memories ? Why do we hate ourselves ? Hmm, that's difficult. Anyone that hates themselves has a different reason for it, probably. Some people hate themselves for what they've done in the past, for what they didn't do, for what they could do. Some for their thoughts. Some for their appearance. And that's just a few reasons. What's real ? I don't know myself the answer to that question sometimes. What's real is what feels real to you. Why do you ask these questions though ? What happened ? |

They should be shame for themself. All people who lie are double faced and should be shame, okay got it. Lying is normal and everyone does it- whether to make themselves look better or to make someone feel better. Nothing good about lying but there is nothing wrong with it either. If they want to make themself feeling better, saying the truth will ease thier feeling more better (even the person who being hurts after being told the truth). Staying positive is all what they need :) |

| Because they either have motivations to not tell the truth or they just do it out of habit. When I lie, it's definitely because something motivates me to tell that lie i.e. I have something to gain for it. Admittedly I don't lie often. However, when it comes to pathological liars, those people just lie out of habit and do it so well because they themselves believe in their own lies. |

| Because lying is great and extremely beneficial if you aren't caught. Manipulating, controlling, scheming etc are hobbies of mine, and because of them, I can tell pretty serious lies and get away with it. It's so fucking fun, just like a queen ant as she watches her minions work for her. I hope to be a ceo one day, climbing the ladder through lies and schemes, and then controlling everything and everyone from the top. I'd control the world if possible. The world is a playground, and boi I'm bout to play :) |

| I lie because I don't want other people to know the truth (heuhue). Case in point: Some guy was asking for a monetary donation, and I told him I had nothing, even though I had $4 in my pocket. Got me out of the situation right quick. |

| people lie because they having difficult time to express their emotion toward the person. though it can sometimes be a symptom of other issues, such as a personality disorder, But some people get so accustomed to lying that they do so even when there is no clear purpose, and when their lies are easily disproven. |

| The liar might want their lie to be true so badly that their desire and needs again overwhelm their instinct to tell the truth. There is no such thing about badmouthing in lies dictionary. |
