White lies you've told about yourself

[emeraldrafael]

Every time one of those "Enter your age" things come up.

This really. Though not anymore, since I'm 18 (though some things tell me I have to be 21, for reasons I'll never know).

Other then that, I'll lie if someone asks me to go somehwere of minor importance or if something else comes up and say I'm going somehwere more important (usually a last minute club meeting or soemthing).

That I'm ugly, although that's a normal lie, and more to do with confidence than actually trying to deceive myself. Have only started feeling great about my looks in the last few weeks. Can hold my head high instead of having eyes fixed on the ground.

Damn you Captcha and your greek letters!

 

[LiftYourSkinnyFists]

What are white lies you've told about yourself to other people? Be it internet, real life, etc?

I don't smoke weed.

Only at interviews, family and children.

 

[LittleJP]

I have never had sexual relations with that woman.

 

[blamehoffman]

I've been in an online relationship for three and a half years with a 41 year old man named Hal from missouri who thinks im a lonely Austrian single mother of two.

 

[Haydyn]

If you were to survery some people who know me, the following myths might come up:

He hasn't ever had alcohol intentionally (accidental jello shots.)
He would neer smoke marijuana.
He never looks at porn.

Master of the double life, my friends.

 

[Zechnophobe]

That I never lie to myself.

...What?!

OT: Meh, just age things, I'm not an exciting person.

 

[Dogstile]

I once convinced a girl that I had wrestled with tiger cubs once.

I was surprised she believed me, silly girl.

 

[MasterWhatever]

That I once fought off a grizzly bear with half a poptart... Half!

 

[tthor]

many people have thought i was British or a foreign exchange student, because of an accent i have. so every once in a while i will just jokingly let them believe I'm british, just for the hell of it

 

[redisforever]

That I once fought off a grizzly bear with half a poptart... Half!

WOW! I've never managed to fight one off with less than two thirds! Impressive...

 

[vingtcinq]

Age things. I'm somewhere between 13 and 50+ on the internet.
Also, that I own a yellow dirtbike named The Yellow Beast (it's actually my friend's, but who's checking??). It makes me seem bdass.

 

[Griffstar]

(Sorry if my English is bad, English isn't my native language..)

This has angered me. You could be lieing about lieing about lieing.

Ontopic.

I don't play video games anymore.

 

[pejhmon]

I don't play video games anymore.

My parents still believe that ever since I started uni . They have (or should I say had) the "you have to grow out of it" attitude.

OT: I do exaggerate things/stories sometimes to make them sound more interesting, which I guess is an extension of white lying

 

[PhoenixKing]

That I have an exciting group of friends.... Yeah....

 

[Broken Boy]

Well I lied to my family growing up I pretended to be a boy when my nature told me other wise. And well I have lied on the internet mostly on Second Life that I was a real girl. Neither of which is true.

I know most think Second Life is lame. But it felt oh so good to be the real me for once since I can't really in real life.

 

[The Almighty Aardvark]

I don't tell white lies very often, usually for simplicity or toning down my opinions so that I don't make enemies with everyone I disagree with.

 

[Atheist.]

I have never had sexual relations with that woman.

Shit, you're on the Escapist, Bill?

 

[ddon]

I told someone that I fought a tyrannosaurus rex with a mining helmet while riding a huge bear, in the middle of the arctic wearing only my underwear. I wasn't really wearing any underwear that day.
