OK, so I am renowned for being frank and honest, which regularly leads to people taking offence. Should I just join the crowds of nodders and smilers and back-stabbers? When should you or when is it OK to lie?
i'm honest to the point of blunt, and most people do not like it i cannot be any other way, i suck at lying i used to lie all the time when i was a kid and my parents kinda beat it out of me
you shouldn't lie, but sometimes its better to say nothing than speak the truth. and if the truth hurts, its usually a good idea to sugar coat it a little to soften the blow. example: girl: do these jeans make me look fat? you: the other ones looked better, or, they dont flatter your figure, or, they hug you in all the wrong places, or, they just don't do your sexy booty justice. sometimes the truth just has to be strategically worded.
I tried to strategically word the truth tonight while telling this girl that we shouldn't see each other any more. It came out like, 'It's not going anywhere between us so maybe we shouldn't hook up any more. I don't think you should waste your time with me.' 'Why?' 'I just don't want a girlfriend or somebody who is going to rely on my energy to kick-start their ass out of self-imposed boredom.' I mean, I wasn't really trying to be cruel. The truth just came out.
My parents tried to beat it out of me. It didn't work. One day, I just realised it was a lot easier to tell the truth. You don't have to remember what you said to who. But I used to excel at lying. I made a small fortune as a door-to-door salesman in Australia over the course of 3 months, enough to stay there for 2 years without worrying about money.
I can lie real good, but I only do it in extreme situations. I used to do lie a lot when I was a kid, sometimes for no reason. Then I realized what a bad thing that was to do. Honestly is really the best policy, in most cases.
thats something i would say... i don't see the point in sugar coating things i am an in your face type person issues need to be addressed theres no point in pussy footing around it (i'd say that to my friends and they'd giggle, it's an old saying but it goes to the point) in my family there are alot of issues and they all get swept under the carpet, much like everyone elses family i'm sure but me i just don't see the point in it, the fact is the problem is still going to be there, i'm a prime advocator for "ignore, ignore, ignore" but you can only ignore for so long i'm a boatload of crazy and i'm terrible at hiding it honestly is the best policy...but really it blows up in my face
well...in this situation...like jess said, there was no point in sugarcoating things...unless of course you still wanted to fuck the girl or something... you were honest and said what needed to be said...nothing wrong with that...
Long-distance telephone companies(free to the customer) at 15$ commision a pop. Around 100+ sales a week. Plus commision from people I trained. Very easy to do. But not interested in a sales career.
Thanks. She said I was a douche or some shit like that and I just told her that if I was really a douche, I would have fucked her for a little longer and eventually told her when it may have actually hurt her.
Lies are sometimes necessary, for your own peace and for making others feel good... Sure, sometimes it's better to be honest to someone close rather than have that person go out and make a fool of him/her-self.
When someone asks me to answer something...like at work, I use to say "Do you want me to lie or tell the truth." Now it is usually, "Do you mind if I say something" to warn the person,,,I am on my way to telling the truth and it may not be a good thing. I give them a chance to say "No". or to think "How bad do I really want to know?" Especially if the person knows me,,,well.
