I Hate Being Lied to

I seem to be addicted to this place right now....wonder how long that'll last. Probably not long! Problem is, a lot o people lie here...and some are in otal denial.

Off to work i must go now

It's a fairly harmless addiction compared to some.. and as long as you keep your wits about you and let people prove themselves before you trust them you should be able to weed out the liars
You must sort the wheat from the chaff. Good people will always shine through over the bad. Unfortunately that is just how life is. We live and learn.
Some lie so well they believe it to be truth. Others use you up and spit you out, no concern for how you feel.
Lol yeah. Well I'd like to say I'm resting in a sexy nighty drinking a glass of moscato, but I'm just here in some dorky polka dot jammies under a TMNT blanket...drinking water...haha

But I thought you were going to work?

Never mind. I just noticed this was posted 11 hours ago. Sorry.
Yes, a lot of people here lies to a point that they do not know which is real/true anymore.

Here's a question for when you get home. What percentage of people on here do you believe tell the absolute truth all the time?
Serenitree · F
Yes we are. The best you can hope for is that whatever anyone here says, they aren't actually intending you harm. Exaggeration, joking around, fantasizing, they aren't intended to hurt. Many of them are just kind of thinking, "what if". And saying it as if it's real.
Yeah. I've actually been seeing that quite a bit. It makes me wonder, what is it about this place that brings out so many of those sorts? I really just don't get it...
Serenitree · F
It isn't just this place. It's life. Here, all over the Internet, people you meet at work. Not all are lying to hurt you. But many people feel that nobody will ever be interested in the boring truth of their lives, so they say went for a run in the park, because saying they spent four hours watching tv and then going to bed isn't interesting enough.

How did you know I was lying?
I never thought you were, but now you're making me wonder....i hope not. I really like you!
Serenitree · F
And I like you too. Don't wonder. I was kidding. But only partly. The fact is, lots of people lie. I see it as a problem only if they are lying to put one over on you instead of a harmless silliness.

Like if someone says they like this song, when in fact they've never actually listened to it, but someone on here asked do you like this song, so they say yes to impress. Harmless. If someone comes on here and says how do you like this song that I wrote and my band performs, but you know that's not true, then it's not a harmless lie. It's like plagiarism.

I really don't care much if everyone here is telling a straight up truth or exaggerating or if it's pure fantasy. It doesn't change my life one bit.
