Do you appreciate it when people lie to you to make you feel better?

I honestly can't stand it, it makes me angrier than anything. Because in reality, the person telling the lie isn't protecting you they're protecting themselves. Preventing themselves from feeling bad by upsetting you. It's not even that which bugs me the most. What is the worst part, is that I want to know the truth. A lie is just superficial. Sure, not knowing the truth can prevent me from hurting, and it can make me feel momentary happiness, but it's just that. Momentary. I will learn the truth, and that makes the lie so much more painful. The truth is what matters the most. It might hurt, but I can grow from it. I can learn from what went wrong. That's what I care about.

/rant

Anyway, to get to the point of the thread. Can you appreciate somebody who lies to "protect" you?

After I realize someone did me this, I cut off relations with him/her. I'm not the grudge type yet this kind of stuff makes me lose trust enough to the point of losing a good if not the main reason to meet such a person.

The most important thing when a person lies, is not the lie in itself, but the reason for lying.
How you take it from there, is up to yourself.

I don't like any of the poll choices. I don't find it disrespectful but I don't really like it. I hate when people do this, but I know it's out of kindness so I don't find it disrespectful. I'd just prefer that you don't.

It depends on the context of the lie, but generally I don't like it (I don't find it disrespectful though). I like honest people, and I prefer to get hurt hearing the truth rather than being happy living a lie.

Personally, I don't care, we humans are pretty selfish people who want to make themselves seem like the better person. And so, we do shit like this to try to make ourselves and the other party happy.
I betcha we all have lied to someone and may have intentionally or unintentionally done something like this.

that is probably one of my biggest pet peeve. they think they are doing you a favor by protecting your feelings (and to make themselves feel better for not being mean) when really they are just looking down on you and lying to your face.

Of course not. I want help in dealing with the problem. If you're lying, then we're talking about something that doesn't exist instead of the actual problem and are just wasting breath.

I can spot such bullshit very quick. I've heard so much bullshit in my life so I am immune to it at this point.

No, it's not very nice. They do it more for their own sake. False hope is disgusting.

Hell no. It's extremely unpleasant to think about why they lied. And even worse to think about what they couldn't bring up even through a lie. It's in the hopes of never being talked about behind my own that I never talk behind anyone's back

I think it depends on what I expect most from the relationship with the ones who lie to me. If I want the truth, trust and honesty like you, a white lie will be as obnoxious as a black lie. On the contrary, if it were consolation or attentiveness that I mean to acquire regardless of whether or not the hidden agenda is to spare not me but themselves feeling hurt, a white lie will be by far better than a black lie.
There might be people who find from human relations not something bona fide but something relaxing.

They get mad inasmuch as you tell him 'You suck you fucking piece of shit'. The culprit is not telling the truth but telling in aggressive style, I think. Maybe we can apply circumlocution or some euphemisms.
