Hehehe, I c wut u did thar. You bullshitter you ...

Besides "trying" to stop, why not just stop? Dude, this planet has 6 billion human beings. No one, and by that I mean NO ONE, cares what you think, feel, ate for dinner ... etc etc etc etc

The people who walk up to you and say, "Oh, you drive a new Corolla? I drive a Prius, FAR more environmentally friendly" then after you get the Prius, "I drive a Buick Lucerne, FAR more Luxurious" are those who want to feel superior to you. So lying that you drive an S class is essentially playing their Patrick Bateman game at 'one-upping' them. Stop trying to do that. You actually sound like a braggart and a jack ass.

Lying to make people feel better is a poor excuse. Many people don't really get their feelings hurt that easily. I tell my friend a lot of times he's fat and he simply tells me to kiss his man flabs and fuck off. This is a dude that isn't fat but is very self conscious. I met a girl that I am very good friends with at mcDonalds when one of her friends was teasing her over her wig that she looked crazy and turned to me whilst in the queue and asked, "doesn't she look crazy?" Of which I replied, "Yes. Yes she does". So, myth debunked. People don't need their feelings spared over mundane things.

Lying to get yourself out of a situation hardly ever works either. There are times to lie and times not to. Before telling a lie think about the possible repercussions that might be in place for someone unintended. Like lying at an accident scene will almost certainly get you in trouble because evidence usually suggests otherwise.

Lying is bad. Plain and simple. Next time just recount facts. Usually stories told are pulled from memories. So just recount facts without embellishing the truth.
