When I lie, it’s most often a lie of omission. Are you more of a falsehood teller? Or do you lie out of ignorance? Or is there a particular subject you’re likely to lie about? Or a person who you tell most of your lies to?

Do you always tell the truth? If yes what type of lie was that?

    Most common lies I tell are usually just to stop people focussing on a certain part of a story or anecdote. They’re technically lies but aren’t relevant.

    Lets say i’m talking about my weekend to a friend or colleauge. I mention that on friday night in a certain bar or location something happened. Well if I know that person is going to pick up on the location eg: “Why were you there”.

    I don’t really care they know I just cba with my story being picked apart for something that’s not really that relevant, I was just setting the scene.

      I do this to keep stories or conversations moving as well, but I more often do so to avoid talking about something I don’t feel like sharing with them, because I know it’s going to draw more questions and I just don’t care to give that information or have that conversation.
