Pathological Liars

[Rude awAKAning]

I once promised a friend I'd pick her up at the airport. Her plane got in at 5:30, but she didn't clarify for me that she meant AM, not PM. So I got my acting together and started crying and told her my car got stolen (from an attended parking garage) and I couldn't come get her. Later on that week, she sees me cruisin around campus in my car, and I told yet another lie that the cops found it and dropped it off to me (dose that even happen?). One of my other friends questioned why I didn't have to go to a lot to pick it up, so I then said "yeah, my insurance covers the drop off fee too." LOL, so to answer the question of why people lie and stuff, once you start, you gotta keep going. And really, I just didn't feel lke drivin to the airport at 5AM! It's like, an hour away from campus.

P.S. No need to worry, my car is perfectly fine!

Lying is lame and pathological liars can need counseling (not saying you're a pathological liar ).

It is a downward spiral and you should've just told your friend that she didn't clarify AM or PM. That's the simple way.

Edited Because: I think I was being too hard on you. You may've lied because you thought you were going to lose your friend if you told the truth. Everyone has told some untruth or withheld info to some extent. I guess it depends on the extent, what you're lying about, how frequent, etc.

Lying is the bomb...under certain circumstances. I enjoy teling colorful lies to strangers online and in person. Some of the reactions are priceless. Try it sometimes.

And I am telling the truth here!

Of course, I don't do this to people I know.

Do you really lie to these strangers or are you playing a character? As in "DITY?"

Whatever the case, at least you don't lie to people you know. That would be scary.
