I have never lied to anyone. <---- There! Right there, just then did you see it? Lol Nah seriously the last time was probably this weekend, made it seem like I was busy so I skipped out going to the bar with some friends... Just didn't want to tell them I was broke lol
When my son was diagnosed as a compulsive liar by his psychologist, I made a pledge to him and myself I would never tell another lie, to help him with his issue.
I have successfully completed over 40 years with out lying. I have discovered there is never just one truth, but there are many different truths to pick and choose from.
The last time I lied was to my ex boyfriend telling him that I was happy and that I now realized I wasn't in love with him but that's far from the truth I am still hurting and heartbroken and i still loved him more than life itself. Why i told him that was because he said that as long as I'm happy he'll be happy and the last thing I want is for him to know how i truly feel and then he will blame himself.
It's been awhile but I remember telling a friend in the last few weeks that her hair looked nice after a permanent. It didn't, flat out, it didn't! What I actually told her was that it had given some life to her fair...it had, it was kinked all over like a tightly wound spring. I try to soften some of my lies with a hint of the truth. Does that make them any less a lie, I don't think so but perhaps they don't sting as much. I believe Yarnlady said it best, there may be more than one truth (or lie) to choose from.
