When I lie, it's most often a lie of omission. Are you more of a falsehood teller? Or do you lie out of ignorance? Or is there a particular subject you're likely to lie about? Or a person who you tell most of your lies to?

Do you always tell the truth? If yes what type of lie was that?

I often joke that my job mostly "telling cunts how fucked they are".

Sometimes I'm just not feeling it, so I fail to tell someone how trully fucked they really are, even though it's probably important that they know.

It's a lie of omission.

I'll get on it as soon as I finish this job

So I guess "blatant" is the type.

I don't lie. I make up words with my mouth.

  1. To get out of being in trouble with my SO.
  2. "White lies" to clients I work for simply because they wouldn't understand a longer explanation, they ha e cognitive impairment so it's better to simplify.

I lie to my kids constantly. Don't even feel bad about it, it's a requirement for peace in the world.
