Lying, we all do it. Whether you deny it or think it might help someone's feelings. It's all the same.
My article said little lies are used more towards friends or to make someone feel better about themselves, and serious ones are used for someone you care strongly about, such as your significant other.
My Question is, Do you lie everyday in life (what about?), or have you ever to save a relationship? If so did it work? Do you tell more serious lies than little ones and what makes you tell them?

I think everyone lies to protect someone they truly care about. Usually lies are a result of not hurting someone’s feeling such as if your friend got a new hair cut and you don't like it. Also, people lie because they are insecure and cannot face the truth. I personally believe I lie when I do not want to hurt someone’s feelings or want someone I am not close with to know about my business. People do not need to know everything about me therefore I choose to usually discard their comments. Lying is not a healthy way to avoid a comment and therefore people should be more truthful with themselves and others.

It's very difficult for a human being not to lie once in their life. Our society we are surrounded in is critical and one of many reasons why people lie is not to hurt the other pereson's feelings. I lie to people if I don't want to hurt their feelings or not make them worry as much. For an example, I tell my parents I finished my project already but really just do it on my own later. This helps them stop being concerned with my life and focus on work or relax. Little lies that aren't meant to hurt others are helpful but certain siuations with big lies involved might do the opposite effect.

I wouldn't say that I lie every single day, but I think you would be lying if you said that you've never lied in your life. Lying seems to be like a defense mechanism, where if you feel uncomfortable about the outcome of the truth, you lie in order to save yourself emotionally.
Usually, I lie about little things or say lies in order to avoid a ten minute scolding from my mom, or to make someone feel better about a situation. Big lies are far too serious for the future, so I try to avoid telling them at all costs. Sometimes, lies can backfire on you and make situations worse than they would be if the truth was told.

I think that everyone lies at some poiont ni there lives for what ever reason. I do not lie in my everyday life. Once in a while i might say something that isnt true and could be a lie but I dont do it everyday because if I did then it would turn into a habit and then it might be hard to break and thats a bad habit to get into. And I would say that I dont tell big lies that could hurt people if I was going to say a lie it would be a little one. You also have to know when the right time to lie is and when it is not the right time.

I think we all tell little white lies or exagerations everyday. I have never told a serious lie to save a relationship, but I have exagerated or changed the truth a little before. Some things you shouldn't lie about, like cheating. Other things I think it's just human nature to lie or exagerate about.

Ive never lied to save a relationship because i think if something is meant to be, it will. So therefore lying is not necessary. However i do tell little white lies time to time so i dont hurt peoples feelings, or to avoid a meaningless conflict. I think white lies are harmless, but big lies can dig you into many holes and eventually make things worse.
