9 Lies People Tell And Why …
Since we were children, we’ve all been told it’s naughty to lie. But there are times when we just can’t help it, times when telling a lie seems so much nicer than telling the truth. Here is my list of nine lies people tell, and why…
1. You look great in those pants

How do you tell your best friend or co-worker that those pants make her butt look huge, lumpy, or just odd or that the skinny jeans she has on are just a little too tight. She loves those plaid pants, and telling her will only hurt her feelings. Unless she’s making a complete fool of herself, it’s better to let her wear them and enjoy them until she gets tired of them… and moves on to skin-tight brown suede, instead…
2. It’s not you, it’s me

It’s not easy to be a heart-breaker, and sometimes the only way to dump a love-sick guy is to let him down easy and give him this line. Why be brutal and tell him that it WAS really him, that you simply couldn’t stand another “Star Trek” reference, or another night spent hiding in his mother’s basement?
3. I love you, too

I think men may be more guilty of this than women… when your significant other thinks it’s time to say “I love you” for the first time, if you’re not ready for that, or even sure you feel the same way, you may still feel pressure to say “I love you, too.” Awkward! But it’s even more awkward if you don’t’ say anything at all…

Gotta agree with you there though sometimes I think somethings are better left unsaid especially if it’s going to unnecessarily hurt someone’s feelings.
Being sincere will make people appreciate you more!
The problem with people who resort to lies often, even white lies is that they start to seem like the “boy who cried wolf” and pretty soon no one knows when they’re telling ... See more the truth and when they’re lying. Having said that, a little white lie every once in a while doesn’t hurt anyone ;)
Unfortunately I can’t seem to ever say the “Your baby is cute” lie especially when the baby is screaming away! I don’t know why some people seem to think that all babies are cute. They’re not!
