Forums - General - Do you lie to protect someone's feelings or to protect your own?

So i was thinking about how sometimes you lie to protect someone's feelings.  Ive done it, in fact even recently ive done it.  And I was thinking about it, do i do this becuase i dont want to hurt someone's feeling or do i do it because I dont want to tell the truth.  In certain situations the truth can hurt myself just as much as it could hurt someone else.  Afterall telling something that can hurt someone's feelings obviously doesn't feel good.  I mean we tell ourselves that we lied not to hurt their feelings, but by telling the truth and hurting their feelings it then hurts yourself seeing them in pain.  If that makes sense.

Is some things better left unsaid or is honesty the way to go even though it could hurt someone, yourself, or even both members?

So what is this revealing about you exactly?  What if that person was a guy, your mother, father, cousin, etc?  You would just tell them that you wanted to have sex?

Damn banana, even for you that is kind of slutty :P

i would like to consider my self as a sex enthusiast 



typically when i lie it's to hurt someones feelings...

things like, "you're fat and no one will ever love you".  it's great.



i'm incapable of lying or caring about someone's feeling more than my own. So I end up apologizing a lot. Very sincerely.
