| I had this really clingey dude that used to lie a lot.. He'd lie about even the smallest things.. "Hey Matt, do you have a pencil on you?" "Nah, I broke it just 17 minutes & 47 seconds ago" "Hey Matt, do you need a ride?" "I was gonna get my car anyway but sure I'll take it!!" "Hey Matt, where you from?" "I'm from Argentina, my dad was a national 'footballer' and my mom won Ms Argentina.. Dont have the accent though lol!!" A couple of days ago he picked up my moms call on my phone & pretended to be drunk. Apparently he thought she was my friend!!!!! Why the fuck do people like these feel the need to do that? It's cringey as fuck!! Pls don't do dis shit.. Edit: aaaaaaand he apparently maxed out my credit card. Great.. |

| to not feel embarrassed/fit in/social pressure. I sometimes did this/do this, but im reminding myself to be honest lately. |

| People need to be accepted. Its one of the most basic needs psychologically speaking. Many people will do it to fit in, although sometimes they can look like a douche. People who do it all the time in a douche manner are assholes, and people who lie just to get out of trouble are no good either. But if your group hates anime and everyone is talking and you say "Yea, anime is really lame." You may be lying but there really isn't anything wrong with trying to fit in. |

I disagree, because if people catch you lying it's hard to win that trust back once it's lost. Why people complain about not making friends is because they never tell the truth to others, and that's what better people in life want to hear. No one's that false. I'd walk away from people who'd say mindless things or put up with others lying to them such as these. |

| I know people like this who are in their late 20s. If they're not close to me I don't question them or give a shit, but if they're a friend then I try to ease into asking them the truth and then why they felt a need to make it up. I won't be completely upset and angry about it, but that also depends on how strong our friendship is. I do know that people used to lie like this in highschool to fit in, but it can end up being a pretty dangerous mentality to have. To be that desperate to fit in will just lead them to make poor decisions, but if they realize it soon enough they can grow out of it. I was bullied by kids with this kind of group mentality, I even got jumped by some girls and things thrown at me. So I'll never support it...nor excuse it... |

| Yeah, seen some people who lie through their teeth all the time... I don't really get it: why would somebody want to go that far just to get recognition? Is it that important to them to look cool in front of others? Simply stupid if you ask me. |

I am not saying lying is good, but when your may just not be open about something so you lie about it I don't find so bad. Well seeing that I was once suicidal in high school, after I overcame those emotions I pretty much distanced myself from everyone and could care less, wanting to start anew. Get away from high school or people who still treat their lives as if it is that. Find people who have lifestyles that transcend wanting approval of others. Yes, people need the approval of others to feel happiness, it's part of Maslow's philosophy and the hierarchy of needs, but what you should be doing is taking it step by step when it comes to wanting approval of others. Friends don't grow on trees, friends don't exist because you're too good for them, I understand if it is your choice to lie to get what you want, but I was raised in a way that told me lying would get me nowhere, and seeing that I have a small enough social circle because of it, and embraced it, then you too should consider this option. I completely agree. There were times where I was getting picked on in high school and people who called themselves my friends wouldn't jump in to stop it because they didn't want people at the school to turn on them. Even when lying about simple things to fit in isn't something that we should simply excuse. My only regret in high school was being friends with those kind of people when they obviously were not my friends to begin with. It's better to be alone than to deal with that level of immaturity. |

| There's plenty of "fake" people out there, thankfully most of them are just teenagers, but I've seen my fair share in their 20s as well. It's easy enough to read how insincere a person is, and it's usually easy enough to generally ignore/avoid these people, they tend to crowd around the other "fake" people anyhow (that's how it was when I was 15 anyway). I do find it unfortunate that this person appeared to be called Matt though... |

SnugglyWhuggly said: it's usually easy enough to generally ignore/avoid these people NooOOOOoooo, I've been trying to do that since early of December but for some reason he still clings to me, uses my stuff without my permission, uses my money & eats all my food.. He thinks if he hangs around with me more he'll score better with the chicks but he doesn't realize he's being a fucking idiot... I do find it unfortunate that this person appeared to be called Matt though... lol his name isn't Matt, but it rhymes with it.. |

| What else are you supposed to do when you don't feel like putting in the effort of trying to prove to others that you're cool? Especially when you already know yourself that you are. |

| The motivations can differ person to person. Some people lie to divert attention away from themselves and some lie to divert attention to themselves. Some do it out of insecurity or fear and some do it out of legitimate delusion or bloated ego. |

| Got a colleague or two like that at work. Everything gets blown out of proportion with them. For instance, the other day one of them said he had to go down to Portsmouth. He gave 3 different reasons for the visit. The first was that he had been summoned to court to testify for his mother because she was in a custody battle with her daughter. The second was that he had to go down and visit his mother because she was in hospital. The third reason was because it was actually his father who was in hospital. No one really knew what the fuck was going on, and when he was asked whether his father was okay (since it was the last reason he came up with) he said he didn't know because he didn't bother visiting him in the end. I really don't understand. |

| I used to have a friend a few years ago who lied about lots of things and basically scammed people and she did it super naturally and she was so charming that people couldn't dislike her even after knowing what she was like. I think for her it was more of a compulsion that something she planned to do, so yeah, it might be a personality thing? |

| I've never come across people like that. I do know people who have lied, but at least they had a reason. That's just odd, OP. |
 |
| I can understand why people do this, but still i don't like it. You have to be yourself (the best way you can be) and it doesn't matter who dislikes you. Mostly it matters why. |

I know this is going to sound harsh, but when people don't take the hint that you don't appreciate their company, sometimes the only thing you have left to do is to explicitly tell them to "fuck off". Most people will get the message after that, a lot of the time, people like this cling to you because they think they can get away with it if you never protest, or don't protest enough. Well thank God for that, my boyfriend's name is Matt. :c |

You could break down every behavior listed above with something about trying to fit in or some things based on his personality. Breaking the pencil thing shows he is selfish at heart, lying about having a car shows shame that he can't afford one, making up a "cool" background story for where he is from gives him the "cool" look to him so that he seems a bit interesting, and pretending to be drunk could be a way to act funny around you or it is him trying to act like he is "cool" to maybe potentially make a new friend. By the way, you spelled clingy wrong. |
| Vishnu was trying to persuade the prince to do his duty, so to impress him he took on his multi armed form and said now I become death, the destroyer of worlds. |
| I had a friend in high school who was like that but wasn't sure if he was lying or not but I wasn't convinced, and told him once that he just had to say "Yes" or "No". He didn't listen so whenever he does that, I just say "That's cool" or "Ahh, I see". |
| People do that in order to cover up their blandness. |
| I think those people lie mostly because they have a mental disorder; not because they want to look cool. |
