I never lie on here because I have friends that know the truth about me that post here and I plan/want to meet more of yall so.....why start a friendship with a lie?



I agree! Chat Icon

Besides- I am happy with my life and don't feel like I have to embellish it.

Nope. I have been totally honest. No reason to lie IMO. I don't care that much what people think one way or the other. I also tend to believe most of what people say and I think people who stretch the truth tend to stand out.

I agree up until your last statement- how would they stand out? b/c some on the board say they have things that others may not? I dont think anyone is or has lied or "stretched" the truth and if so they are pretty good at it, then. But I dont automatically think someone is lying if they say they do or have or done things on here.

Re: How much do you think people lie...

I don't see the point of lying on here. I am not out to impress anyone, besides one of the things I like about this board is that there are all kinds of people communicating on this board.
If you read what we post about, you can tell that some of us are in a very good place and some are struggling. I love that about this forum.

I don't see why there would be any reason to be anyone but yourself on a board- especially one like this . . .

I don't see the point of embellishing or lying here. Like someone mentioned I plan on starting friendships, lying isn't a good start.

I feel extremely naive now. It never occurred to me that other people would lie. Now I look at the poll and wonder who does lie...Chat Icon

Re: How much do you think people lie...

for the most part, i think this is a pretty friendly board. i am sure that some people do lie or embellish the truth but as others mentioned, i don't see the point. there were definelty a few that were obvious "liars" on LIW but i don't see that really happening here.

I clicked yes by accident, sorry. Why in the helll would you lie especially to strangers??? I guess they're trying to cover up how pathetic their lives truly are but then again, that's just as pathetic.


Me too. Chat Icon I read the subject line and responded before reading the rest of the post. I'm not sure why people would lie on a chat forum, especially since most of us don't know each other. I guess there are some people who always want to make their lives seem better than they really are.

on this forum? How do you think people embellish the details of their lifestyles... what kinds of cars they drive, what kind of house they live in, clothes they wear, etc etc to make them seem more well-off than they really are?

DH thinks I'm naive because I tend to believe everyone...

I'm adding a poll so you can anonymously admit if you have EVER embellished a detail or two of your life on this board Chat Icon Let's see how honest we all are...Chat Icon



I think alot of people embelish...

Re: How much do you think people lie...

I am always honest as well...That is just my nature though, I hate liars and lying and have such a guilty conscience if I even tell the litttlist white lie...I always was that way though.

I do think that sadly there are many people in this world that do lie. Some may do it unintentionally and many do it intentionally...

I'm not a liar so there would be no reason for me to start on here. Especially when there are people who know me, who could call me out on it (my sister!)...and people with whom I've become friends with off-line. Nothing like starting a friendship with a lie...way to end that friendship pretty quick!
