heh... lying is something i used to do alot. espeically to my mother and the rest of my family. the whole "everything's fine" deal when i've been unemployed for the last couple months and am barely making it, or even about smaller things like basic chores and whatnot... those tendencies still carry over a little bit, but i do my very best to not do so anymore... i find it so much easier to just tell the truth, but sometimes will let a lie fly when i'm embarrased to tell the truth or don't want to admit to something.
beyond that, i'm half and half when it comes to lying... on one hand, i can let them fly just to fuck with someone, espeically at work, but they're little things. nothing serious, just little whites to confuse them for a moment... on the other hand, i'm a pretty trusting person, so i'll get led around in lies often. sometimes it's all in fun, like when i'm at work, and we'll all have a good laugh about it later, other times i get caught hard by them, like when i caught my ex in her cheating ways... it really ripped me a new one.
after living a life with my ex, who always told half-truths, withheld information, and flat out lied about even the smallest stuff, i'm so happy to be in a relationship with my girlfriend, who is completely open and normally knows when i've let slip a lie but understands that i'm getting past that as far as relationships go... i'll always wanna be open and upfront with her... i've seen the consequenses of relationships that aren't.
