when are white lies ok and should u be mad when finding out it was a lie?
for example: u get invited to a house party but would rather just stay at home and tell the host that u are ill and see them later.
or tell your partner that they dont look fat in those jeans when they do.

is omitting important info a lie, white lie or nothing?
for example: u are married when flirting or acting like u have a lot of money but u have nothing.

they're always fine as long as nobody knows it's a lie When they begin to doubt your honesty just lie louder...

"she caught me in the shower...wasnt me" kinda thing i guess
would u be mad at someone that u caught in a white lie?

Impossible to say really, there are different layers, and different intentions.

Intention matters but also depends on how damaging it is.

IMO, there are lies for positive intention, and lies with intent to deceive.

When I lie with positive intention, I don't feel bad, no matter the result.

Sometimes when found out I catch hell, and get the whole "you lied to me" spiel. Other times when found out, I get "Wow, that was nice."

As George Costanza says, "It's not a lie, if you believe it."

Good lie
Dying person: Am I going to die?
You: No

Good lie
Fat girl: Have I gotten fatter since the last time you saw me?
You: No, you look thinner.

Bad lie
Hot girl: What did you do last night?
You: I shat myself, peeked in on my sister while she showered, and spent the rest of the night watching pornos and smoking meth.

Why is that a bad lie? Seems like a pretty creative one to me, and a harmless one at that (unless you were telling it to toddlers).
