By % how often do you lie? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

And you can break it up more than that by 'on internet,' 'toward family,' 'toward friends,' etc.

Anywho, I almost never lie. I tell the truth about 99% of the time. Now I may skew the truth by saying withholding certain parts, but I don't out right lie. The only time I really do is for pranks.

I lie 100% of the time.

I don't lie unless I have a compelling reason to, e.g. keeping a surprise party a secret.

The one exception is telling the occasional fish story, but those stories have more to do with literary quality than factual accuracy.

I'm too stupid and forgetful to be a good liar. I have a hard enough time remembering the truth.

Not remembering things well enough makes me a liar, even if I spoke the truth.

In the course of discussion, I may change my view point, this could make me a liar too.

I don't always tell everything, some people think this is lying as well. Moreso if I tell another person something, the other something else, they cross-check and decide things don't match: hence I lied.

When I speak my mind and mean it, I'll be seen as a liar, if the listener does not agree.

It's safest to lie about lying too.

I am a really awesome liar, and therefore I don't lie. It makes me feel terrible when I do, seeing people fall for what I've told them. If it's just something I don't want to talk about, I'm now upfront and say, "I don't want to talk about that just now."

Enough that I wouldn't want to go into any detail on a public forum.

Only when I need to, and almost always little white lies like exaggerating traffic conditions on the way to work when I really snoozed my alarm clock an extra time or two, which is really easy because it has an IR sensor and all I have to do is wave at it instead of hitting a button.
