How good are you at lying?

Post Reply New Topic

I hope you realise that I didn't ask how often you lie, or why you do it, just whether or not you were good at it. Judging by what you've said, you'd be one of the last two options.

Sarcasm is lying by telling the truth.

well yeah i thought about the fourth one, but you hardly have to be suspicious of what im saying, since i hardly ever lie.


but yeah ill stop being a whiny little perfectionist and vote "excelent" then

these stats should be compared to a global average that would be interesting. maybe ill post it in another forum sometime

The 'people should be suspicious of what I'm saying' part was only added because I like to make my poll entertaining. I mena, just Yes, No, Good, Fair, Excellent and the like are a bit boring, and I was having trouble on a gag to put on that answer anyway so I'm not suprised, really! I like the gag with the inability to lie about the colour of one's own socks...

I can't really lie but I can 'blag' my way through things!

I won't lie but if I do I ask my God's forgiveness. I don't have a poker face.

If I'm on the spot and have to make up a lie quickly, I'm out of luck, because my face does the talking for me.

However, if I have some time to ruminate upon the lie and make it into an intricate story in which i can work out every little detail, I can do it. The more convoluted the story, the better, in fact.

Having said this, unfortunately, most of the time I have no use for a pre-concieved lie; I'm not a deceitful person by nature - therefore the first situation, in which lying would be a useful skill to have, is the one I encounter the most frequently.

Well, since I am good at acting, I'm very good at lying. I know the facial features to use, I know the 'believe in it and it'll be true' routine does work, and go with it.. I should say "went with it" when needed.. I dont make a habit out of lying, I make a habit of being honest

yeah, in my experiance, stating an arguement against what you want to make someone believe allways works like a charm.

I can't lie, but I'm very good when I "hide" the truth without become a liar

i have a lot of double standards. if there's an omission of truth on the part of my friends or lover i get hopping mad. but i don't technically 'lie' because i can always put a twist on things with my 'unconventional' logic.

this leads to very many online acquaintances asking me for opinions on multiple issues since my answers are always creative and offer them a view few come up with.

and they say i'm not creative pffffft!

i was very bad at lying when i was younger, too responsible, i couldn't even lie in my own head, but it did a lot of damage, being too good is not a good thing either.
now i'm older and it's is not as difficult anymore, because i think now it's up to me to decide whether something is a lie or not.
