I am really bad at lying to people. I always start laughing right after I say something that's a lie. Well actually for some reason I can easily lie to my brother and he actually believes most of the things I say. One time my sister and I had convinced my brother that he had been adopted and that we were hiding it ever since he was little. He actually believed us and started to cry but eventually he found out the truth. Ya I know it was a horrible thing to do but it was still fun XD.

I'm actually pretty good at this and I hate myself for that. But its not like the real lying, it's more on "giving excuses" so that I can skip something that I don't want to do or attend. But yeah, I figured that it's still a form of lying. I hope I can minimize this and be more responsible with my actions.

I think I'm a bad liar. If on some circumstances it's necessary for me to tell a lie, I just cannot look at the person I'm lying to straight in the eyes. It shows in my eyes that I'm lying. I feel guilty though every time I lie.

No, I'm not a good liar at all. If I'm put on the spot about something, I can't think of a quick, witty falsehood so I just blurt out the truth. I guess being as honest as I am is good thing, although I secretly envy people who can calmly and casually make something up without even acting nervous about it. While I have told little white lies here and there, I don't think I've ever told a big whopper of a lie. At least in my memory I haven't

I'm a theater actor. It's what I do. I guess this qualifies me as a good liar.
Well, when it comes to actual lying, I tend to relax any tension in my body and talk as if they don't know what the heck they're talking about and deny everything.
I wouldn't know if it would qualify as lying, but there are times when I'd have to rehearse or do a show with someone I'm not particularly liking. We'd have to fake a kiss but I hated him at the time. Okay. To give you an idea how much I hated him, I wanted to freak him out by telling him I'm pregnant with his kid (not the kind of prank to pull on your bf, ladies...it's a terrible thing to do). That's how much I LOATHED him. But we had scenes together and I had to professional about dealing with the situation so I had to carry on and work and be happy.
By the time we did our show, we got the best applause in spite of our alternates. No one in the company suspected that he and I were having problems. Now I think that that is awesome lying. :P
