Have you cheated yourself?

This is a good topic. When I was younger, I cheated. I realized then, many years ago, that when you cheat others, you cheat yourself. So I made it a point, and even an unwritten rule in our house to be honest, honest even if it hurts. Because we cannot make right solutions out from wrong info, due to cheating. But life is imperfect and cheating is part of it. But little cheat, if I can't avoid it. But when i realize it, I say sorry or correct things. And confess it to the priest as I am a Catholic. I don't like to cheat and I don't like to be cheated. This becomes engrained in my life. I don't know where I got it, but that's it.

Yes,I want to change myself,because I had no money,and now the society is a society of money,the money you have the ability to speak,I feelthat he is a person who loves money

sanjeevsingh no it is wrong to cheat anyone, how can you sit here and say it is necessary to cheat the beloved ones? this is wrong and surely you must know that.Cheating for mere profit is disgusting and surely you see that. I dont cheat myself nor anyone else. Cheating is like telling lies,it will eventually come back and bite you in the butt.so we should never cheat anybody. If you have to cheat anyone to get some benefit then you are not a very nice person. shame.

Don't Remember Exactly,But I Think Not... Cheating Yourself Is Almost Impossible, Reflexes Don't Let Do That.

i confess, ive cheated myself many a times. mainly with homeworks :D

I disagree with ur statement that "we should never cheat ourselves" as there may be a situation when you need to cheat youself to get out of the problem.... like when theres really a problem then you need to cheat yourself that everything is fine, so that you gain enough confidence to get out of the situation....

I cheated today. I posted a discussion where I was going to quit smoking. But I smoked anyway. I am not ready to quit. I have to go through the proper recommended steps to attain that goal. I am not proud of it, but I did it and I have to remember we all cheat ourselves, but we can always make up for it later.

Yes, sad to say but I have cheated myself especially with food and exercise. You see, I have to lose 10 lbs. and avoiding sweets will really be a great help and a little exercise. But there are days where I am loosing my control and cannot follow my diet and exercise schedule and then when ask by my husband, I will tell him that I have been following my schedule and still I am not loosing weight. If I only won't cheat, I think I will reach my goal in loosing weight.

Hi Sanjeev, as you say this is necessary to cheat the beloved ones sometime, and yes many times we cheat ourselves but we don't aware from this, this is the physical age in which needs and desires are so high and we are running hard to complete these, the topic you are discussing is the matter of emotions which are not remain so important these days, but the habit of cheating ourselves or someone other is really disgusting.

i dont remember any instance in which i thik that i have cheated myself,but is very hard to say.... so i think i have not cheated myself...

actually, i feel that i cheat myself almost all the time. I am starting to realize this a few years ago. So the only thing i can do now is try my best not to cheat my self as often as before and slowly reducing it. I am trying to be more open to critics but also be more criticize over something so that i do not accept something that i should comply to.
