I prefer not saying all the truth. Is that lying?

I’m actually thought about this a lot recently. Is withholding truth lying? I don’t know

It’s the same mental process of lying. But in this case it’s not an action, but an omission.

There are criminal behaviours based on omission rather than action.

I’m a terrible liar but a great omissionist.

A good liar loses him or herself I think.

I don’t know how you’d keep it all straight, your lies. If you get found out enough you are likely branded as one. I have a hard enough time getting people to take me seriously when I am saying my honest opinion. Being a labeled a liar would make it near impossible.

I have to lie about some of my beliefs to socialize IRL.

I hear that. That’s a serious dilemma.

Mother always used to double-check what i said, and said i was fibbing. Seriously it was just me, being a bit delusional most of the time.

Not that i havent told the odd white lie. But you need a good memory to be a good liar.

I can’t do it if I want to stay sober.

Yeah I’ve been honest with the girl I’m seeing and it is going well because of it I think. No blockages.

I think it depends.

I feel like being honest is super important.

But sometimes you do have to lie.

When I was pregnant,

I lied about adoption stuff for the sake of my child.

Lied to protect myself and others.

Some people say it’s never warranted and I think that’s naive.

True.

I don’t think it’s worth it almost all the time,

But I’ll do it with good reason.

Does that make me terrible?

Maybe.

I just won’t say it’s never a good idea to lie.

Kind of degrades my experience of myself and my surroundings and my experience of others and divides me from that which I care about. I don’t like the feeling and almost always come clean.
