To whom do you lie more? Yourself, or others?
Do you lie more to yourself, or to others?
It occurred to me today that there's really a personal balance between how much we lie to ourselves and how much we lie to others. This can be other people we encounter in general, or people with whom we have friendships, love interests, etc.
Also, is there any real difference between the two, or is one worse than the other?
Lots of people would assure you that they've never told a lie, or don't believe in lying- but how often do you think they lie to themselves? I think everyone lies to themselves about something.
As for me, the answer is both- and my perspective is that lying to yourself is worse. How about you?
