lies

i don't tend to lie to people. if i disagree or if i'm asked for an oppinion, i'll be honest with them. i'm not sure if that's always a good thing or not, sometimes it makes me look mean, when i'm actually just being honest with them.
however, when i was little i use to lie all the time. for fun, to avoid blame, to see if anyone would believe me. but i mostly lied to get out of trouble, which most of the time ended up biting me in the ass. if say, i spilled something or if i had known about a broken plate, i would deny it. it wasn't me, ask paul and jim, the list went on. i lied because i was so scared of getting in trouble & my parents being mad at me.
now a days i'll lie if someone asks for my number, "sorry i lost my phone", or "i'm getting a new phone & my number's changing" or i'll give them the wrong number. i usually just feel bad for saying no you can't have it, so i'll make up an excuse & hope they buy it. but when a friend asks for advice i'm always honest, they're my friend, they can handle the truth.
