Top 10 LIES We Say On A Regular Basis

Lying is supposed to be something everyone should try to steer clear of doing but their lies that we all tell without even realizing we are lying! Be on the lookout for some growing noses, because today we’re discussing 10 lies we say on a regular basis!

10: I’m Fine

It may be an innocent lie but the “I’m fine” statement when you aren’t is still a lie. Most of the time we say that lie because we don’t want to open up about our feelings. By concealing how we feel we think we’re sparing the person’s feelings. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with expressing how we feel when something upsets us. But this little lie isn’t one we will stop telling anytime soon!

9: I’ll Just Have One

Number 9 on our list of 10 lies we say on a regular basis is “I’ll just have one”.If you have to say “I’ll just have one” chances are that is a lie, whether it is a drink or French fry you never just have one. So, why is this something we still say? What is wrong with having more than just one anyway? Let’s all agree not to judge anyone for indulging in something they enjoy every now and then! Then we can all put the “I’ll just have one” lie to rest for good!

8: I’m On My Way

How many times have you told someone you were on your way, but you haven’t even left the house? Maybe your makeup took too long to put on or you just woke up, either way, it’s a big fat lie. We usually tell this lie in order to calm the worries of the person who is waiting! But in return, it just makes them even madder when we show up an hour later. The best way to avoid this lie is to just plan better and actually leave your house on time.

7: #No Filter

Number 7 on our list of 10 lies we say on a regular basis is #no filter. Everyone has done it or seen it, the hashtag “#nofilter” lie. No one cares if you use filters, but it looks weird when you lie about it. Everyone knows that filters make people look better that’s why they were invented. So, if you want to use filters, just do it! It is going to be really embarrassing when you show up for a date and you look completely different from your #nofilter profile.

6: I Didn’t Get Your Texts

We live in a world where unless your phone is turned off “ I didn’t get your text” lie isn’t going to cut it. Everyone gets their texts, there is no way around this. The person sending it can even see when it’s delivered to your phone. It is easier to just tell the person you either forgot to respond or you just didn’t want to talk to them. Both are better than lying and making them feel like you think they’re stupid.

5: I’ve Been So Busy Lately

It’s easy to tell people “I’ve been so busy lately” when you haven’t seen them for a while. You know you want to maintain a relationship with them, but you just can’t find any time in the day. But let’s be real, if you have time to binge-watch shows on Netflix, then you have enough time to cultivate relationships. We all are guilty of this lie because sometimes alone time is just more appealing than going out and being social but that doesn’t mean we should lie about it.

4: I’m Just Kidding

Have you ever heard there’s a little truth in your jokes when you tell someone “I’m just kidding”? This is because you tell someone you’re kidding but you may secretly mean it. It’s an easy lie to tell because you probably don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings. This lie is the best way to soften the blow after you’ve said some pretty harsh statements about someone. So, this is another lie that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

3: No, You Don’t Look Fat in That

How many times has someone asked if they look fat and you know they do but you can’t tell them? So, you have to say that “no, you don’t look fat in that” lie. We should be able to be honest with our friends but when it comes to looks it becomes a sensitive subject. The good news is this person doesn’t really want to know the truth. They’re either searching for compliments or they feel fat and hopefully won’t wear the outfit anyway.

2: I Love It

Number 2 on our list of 10 lies we say on a regular basis is “I love it”. Whether it’s a present from your grandmother or your significant other’s cooking, everyone has told me an “I love it” lie. This lie is told because we want to reassure someone that we love them, even if whatever they presented us is horrible. They probably put a lot of thought into the present and it’s the thought that counts. Because of that, you can be thankful for the thought, even if they totally missed the mark.

1: We’re Just Friends

You aren’t kidding anyone with the “we’re just friends” lie. If you have a crush on someone or you have been spending a lot of time with them, chances are you are more than just friends. You don’t hook up with or want Valentine’s Day presents with someone who is just a friend. Either you are in denial or you don’t want to let everyone know about your love life. Both are fine, but your friends will know the truth, so it’s time to spill the beans!
