I don't get upset when people lie.

Most people say that they hate liers. But for some reason I don't. I can understand a persons reason for lying. Everyone has a reason. To me it's not the what it's the why. If I find out someone was lying to me about something (and it has happened quite a few times) it really doesn't bother me that much. I mean ya, I wish people would be honest with me but I understand not everyone can. Also sometimes telling the truth can be a very bad idea. People arn't perfect. We lie to survive. It doesn't hurt me when my friends lie or my family. I rarely ever get upset when a person lies. Of course I'm also way too trusting. I tend to believe everyone is telling the truth even when they're obviously not.

I just do not like liars because I rarely lie myself. I think it is not right to lie since someone else might get hurt by your lies.

The truth can be lethal.

"The truth can be lethal" A world without "small" lies would be unbearable : social life implies a bit of hypocrisy to not hurt others.

But on the other hand, not telling the truth and someone realizing it later on is even much lethal. You will be dealing with two things at that time; lie and the problem while if you told the truth in the first place, you would just be dealing with the problem only.

I hate people lies to me. Once a person lied to me, it is hard for me to trust that person anymore.

oh, i get upset when people lie, it irritates me a lot. But yea, at the end of the day i'm trying to understand no one is perfect and maybe they don't have choice that's why they lie.

Interesting conception.Most people don't like them, me included. By lying, they are mostly hurting themselves, though. I just don't feel comfortable around those who lie cause you never know what they will lie about next. Once a liar always a liar maybe? But there are some really bad chronic liars and then there's the ones who are the fibbers, which mean they tell little white lies. Meaning the lies aren't that bad, as we used to say in my day. I'm not so sure any kind of lie is good, but we all lie for different reasons, you are right. Even when we stop ourselves from saying what we really want to say we are lying, so as not to hurt someone's feelings.

I find it hard to believe that someone like you do not get upset when people around you tell lies especially if it affects you. The person who easily trust is the person mostly to feel betrayed in the process. Maybe I am just a cynic or I value trust more that I feel that way. Nobody lies and get away with it. I do not believe that it doesnt matter whether a person lies as long as the reason is valid. Maybe you just dint care enough to be affected by thier lies or you get affected but you forgive easily.

If you don't get upset when people lie you must think it's funny because you have no part in the issue lied about!?

Hi Babytaffster. I hate it when a person lies to me or about me. We have this friend that all he does is tell one lie after another. We know he is lying when he says things and think he knows we know he is lying. It is just part of him I guess but it still makes me so mad at him to think he has to lie about anything to us. My husbands brothers wife is a liar. She has told so many lies about me. We don't even go to see them anymore because she is a trouble maker and for no reason she just likes to keep the family in an uproar. I hate liars and won't put up with it! I am not prefect but I don't lie if I have to lie I just won't open my mouth. To tell one lie makes one have to tell another one to cover up and then they have to remember each and every lie so they aren't caught so why not just plain tell the truth ?

We cannot tell immediately when a person lies especially when these people are already used to it. There are some tips on how to determine if they tell lies. You are right that there are reasons why they lie to you. That's the best thing to know. Some says "white lies" to cover up something or to make things better but still these were lies. It will really affets how you trust people if they were telling lies. Just be careful...

Hi babytaffster, if we found out and know why people are lying to us, of course we won't be hurt. If we don't, that is very dangerous. Like you said, sometimes truth can be lethal, but we are taught to face everything in life. Overall, I still prefer people telling truth than lies...

Honestly I hate people lie when they make mistakes.Just admit your mistakes, apologize then tell the truth.Its more easier to me.. Maybe it can make me angry but not long.But when they lies it make me more angry when I found out and I can't trusted them anymore. For me I will accept if they lies for something reasonable but not when make any mistakes..One time lie,they could lie again and again and could become a very bad habit.
