I Lied...syke!...I'm Lyin :)

To say I have it all figured out would be a lie. To say I always know WHY I do some things would be a lie. So...to keep myself from lying, I follow this very simple concept...I TELL THE TRUTH. Don't understand why it comes so easily for me but I sure wish it came so easily for others. Sometimes I try to convince myself a person is lying to me to protect my feelings...then after a few seconds I say nahhhh bullshit. That person is trying to protect they damn self, they ain't thinking about me. Selfish. Lies occur because you're trying to hide something, keep something from being revealed, such as the truth. Anyone who knows me knows I really have nothing to hide. If you ask me a question I will answer truthfully. If I'm not comfortable doing so, I say so...but I'm not going to make up something just to give you an answer. If I feel you need to know something I will tell you...point blank. Don't ask my opinion if you cannot handle hearing something you may not want to hear. I am obsessed with asking questions. I do so to learn...about you...about what I ask...to hear your perspective...to get an answer...whatever. If I want to know something, I will ask (but don't think I always believe your answer...if it's too far off I will research or follow up with more questions...that's just how I do). If I have a problem with you or something you're doing...I will tell you. Don't like it? Then don't talk to me. And don't try to lie to me either...because not only do I have good instincts but I have a pretty good memory too (unlike someone I know)...but that's a whole nutha story. So I talk about this subject because I see it so often and it's annoying. One of my kids will lie to me and never admit it. My other child will lie at first, then if I ask him if he's lying, he will say yes. I can't be mad because both of them get a part of that from me. I would lie as a child but my parents always knew when I was lying...so I just stayed out of trouble to avoid having to lie. As I grew older...I've just learned it's so much easier to tell the truth and I really don't care if it hurts you. In my mind... you should be grateful and not upset :)
