Why do so many people feel the need to lie?

It seems most everyone I know lies. Even about little things, in attempt to make people happier. So I mean, whether the intention is good or bad, it seems everybody does it. So I guess It'd be cool to hear what you guys have to say.

Truth will either hurt you or set you free.
I think many times, lies are born from insecurities.

bullshit. even animals lie.
lies are just a part of life, like any other skill. It might suck to get lied to, but the TRUTH is life sucks most of the time, lies make it better.

I basically never lie - to myself or otherwise - unless I'm hiding my drug use or something.
I'm not going to create a fake little plastic bubble of a reality to live in, and I'm not going to help aid any elses. Sometimes people don't like me because I can be brutally honest at times.
People create these false worlds to collectively live in, and simutaniously wonder why they're not satisfied with their lives. It's pretty ironic, we humans are an odd race.
Embracing reality for what it is and learning to work with it is the only way to fullfill yourself as a person.
By the way, life is really awesome and fun when you live in it instead of in your own version of it.

What sheekle said, best to be honest to the bone haha You just have to find that line where sometimes you have to say things for the better even if it is a slight bit misleading.

I know that feel.
My favorite lie is, "Hey I got another call coming in that I've been waiting on, lemme let you go."
Sometimes people are like, "Hey what are you up to," and I'm not really going to tell them that I was just jerking off to an Aunt Jemima bottle since my internet is down, ya know?

Makes total sense to me as well. I took some college sociology and psychology classes. I understand why people lie. I just wish people understand the truth; and could accept it.

It just seems to be human nature and is becoming the norm . You start getting lied to at a young age . Santa , Easter bunny and you the list goes on . I have a 5 year old son and I hate lying to him about that shit but my partner would kill me if I told him the truth .
I'm not religious so I don't see the point of Christmas and Easter but it's just for the kids really . It's got out of hand worldwide where people get themselves into debt over Christmas but back to the point I only lie the the police when they ask me if I have taken and drugs . No officer , drugs are bad.

I grew up in an abusive household. I learned to lie extremely well to keep my ass from getting beat, and it just kind of worked itself into my social life as well. I'm probably the fakest person I know. I pick up on other people lying extremely well now though.

good quality relationships should be based on respect and mutual understandings.
id like to hope if i told a friend, tactfully, i just wasnt down for hangs they could respect that and wed leave the conversation with no hard feelings.. white lies walk a fine line with mind games.

you could make sure they know it's not a personal thing and that you'd look forward to hanging out with them in the future, seems pretty understandable to me

Sometimes the truth hurts or is uncomfortable.
I wish more people were open, secure, and understanding so we didn't feel pressure to lie. Even little things. I try to be honest 100% of the time unless I'm talking to cops....cause... Ya know.
Would it really hurt your friends feelings if you just said "hey man it was cool hangin, but I think I'm gonna take off. I'll talk to you soon". ?
