Yeah same here. Very obsessive.

Lying is when you deliberately bend the truth or give an account that is misleading on purpose. Scenarios are like when someone like a police officer asks you for your name and address and you give a totally different name and address than your actual that is lying. Also acting like you had no involvement in a crime when you did really thats lying, all this is known as obstruction. Other cases are exaggerating where you might give slightly big or smaller than actual figure, e.g slightly higher exam score than you actually got, and you weren't sure about it, thats not lying. Like name and address asked by authority deliberately, giving false information is lying - as exaggerating is just giving an indication on what is true but not deemed as lying.

Lying...in it's simplest form, is purposeful deception from the truth.

Did you have to reply to him on a public forum? Literally nobody here knew it was about you until you replied. He started it, but you've been just as instrumental in making this into a thing.

Correct. Very creepy.

I honestly was just trying to see how other people saw "lying" in general. I did not mention her name, and I even changed the story around a little bit, but she then replied and made it directed towards herself. I didn't think the situation was even severe enough to start crap, and even if I was going to start crap I wouldn't do it on a public forum.

The thing that made it worst was your timing. You made the thread almost immediately after what happened. It just felt like a giant slap in my face. It would not have been nearly as bad if you had waited a couple days. It just felt like you were venting about the problem on here just after it happened because you didn't want to talk to me.

A "lie" in English would be a "scythe".

"Once a liar, always a liar?!"

Lousy lies. Tell the truth, even if it hurts the person.

Be honest and sincere don't let emotional feelings get the best of you.

Work thIngs out, be friends again.

Isn't that exactly what you do every time you get mad at Melyssa?
