Why do people lie?

Your question was what makes people lie

Well there is many answers to this question

One answer is not to hurt people’s emotions

Deep inside we yearn to be liked so we would do “white lies,”

An example is if a friend asks you if she looks nice

You tell her she looks nice

Even if she looks like crap

You do this to not hurt her feelings

Another reason.

The feeling of being ashamed

Now this is a next step of lying,

Again because of our subconscious

We tend to over examine what people would

Think of us. We as humans do not want

To be seen as a loner or an outsider,

Another reason

As selfish beings we would do

Anything to get what we want

This being said we would disregard people feelings

A complete 360 in the lying cycle

As humans we are the most apathetic

Creatures to have ever walk on earth

We have complex emotion, qualities, which

Would be downfall in our society

Often it's hard to tell the difference

Between on why people lie

It all just depend on where to stand
