Tell me your experiences with lying. Your most interesting. Your most subtle, profitable, or mutually acceptable. Tell me about when you got caught in a lie.
Tell me the ones you’re ashamed of and the ones that secretly make you gloat.
I’d like to hear your reasons and excuses, but mostly I want to hear the juicy stories.

I sometimes pretend like people said something different than what they said. That being said I love pies. I'm all about pies. Pies, Pies, Pies!
It's the best.2 -
I’m not going to say who because it’s a really effing terrible thing I did and I’m ashamed. But in high school I lied to my psychology teacher and said someone dear to me passed away so I could get out of the exam. She let me write it 3 days later. So in someways I am where I am because of that lie. I aced the exam because I had more time but it isn’t something I’ve really let go.6

My best lies, the most convincing, have been half truths. Or half lies. However you want to say it. Lies of omission are pretty effective too.
And in my younger years I was the master at preemptive confessions. I’d be just about to be caught and deliver academy worthy confessions. “Mommy, I know you said not to have anyone over while you were at work but she just stopped by and is really upset because her parents are getting divorced.”
As a teenager I’d leave my diary lying around with bogus entries in it because I knew it would be read.0 -

Dear Diary,
Today I ate 14 worms. A new personal best. I also think I can fly.7 -
One of the best lies I ever told was to my cat. I was like, "Cat, you're dumb".
Still laughing about that one.3 -
most recent little white lie was when i told someone "I think this is a great idea." pretty good one imho
the times i cheated were pretty bad though i guess. the marriage ended eventually for other reasons really. and she is much happier now and doing much better than we ever were together. i had some amazing years with the last person i'd cheated with afterwards, and i don't regret having her in my life in any way.
but idk if i'd do it again if i had the choice. it's hard to say because i've changed so much from who i was, the guy who proposed. i barely remember that guy's motivations anymore and i don't think who i am now would have gotten married to begin with. too much is different now.
can't change the past though. gotta keep moving forward.
the married/otherwise attached girls i've cheated with in the past though i never really felt bad about. if it hadn't been me it would've been someone else, so it might as well have been me, who actually cared in some kind of way5 -

When I was about 8 I opened a package of chocolates I saw in the kitchen. My mom got mad and asked "WHO OPENED THIS BOX OF CHOCOLATES?" Apparently they were supposed to be a Christmas present for someone. I said "I don't remember, maybe I did it when I was asleep." She said something like "I think somebody knows who opened the chocolates", and then dropped it.
I felt so bad, every time I've consider lying since, I remember this.2 -

you are so rare and i can’t find a good enough emoji1 -
I just told a client I had to take this other call so I could get off the phone and then I didn't answer the other call. I just didn't feel like listening to the client whine. That's the first lie I've told today.1

I had one friend who used to wear some crazy hairstyles and outfits. When we were younger I stretched the truth telling her she looked nice when she didn’t.
Other than that, I don’t lie.3 -

You're such a cowboy 😂🤣1 -
I know! I hate that!
I think I just say things and they sound so ridiculous that people think I’m joking. I get away with a lot that way.
Now I think of it, that’s what everyone on MFP does - I’m joking if you are.
I was serious about believing you.
Though it is just exactly what a liar would say. hmmmmmm.1 -

Basically everything I say should be taken with a grain of salt because I lie like a cat in the sun
Can’t really trust anything that comes outta my mouth3 -
Sometimes I don’t know if I’m lying or just being optimistic3
