This is a question that I have been pondering about for a while. Please give me your opinion on this question.
When you tell your family that you don't like somebody, and you have almost completely deluded yourself into thinking that you don't, but you know deep down inside you do like them. Does that count as lying to yourself, and others?

First!
ReplyDeleteI guess it just depends on why you're saying you don't like them... :S Are they the kind of person you don't usually like? Do you just not want people to find out, because you want it to be a secret? (I had a lot of secret crushes that I would say I didn't like because maybe they weren't "cool" enough for my friends or something). I don't see it as a "lie", but maybe just a little white lie, and it's not one that's hurting anyone... That's kinda a toughie!
ReplyDeleteIt's not as if I'm saying mean things about this person.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with pretending something doesn't exist. It's as I always say, "Ignorance is bliss!".
ReplyDeletePlus, lying is bad, but you aren't obligated to tell everyone everything you are thinking. Besides lying about liking someone doesn't even count as really lying.
PS: Who is it? >:)
NOTICE: Cameo messed up in her last comment. That is why she deleted it.
Hmmm, that is a toughy. Are you meaning you don't "like" them...like "like like" or just in general? Because that would be soooo different. Clarify before I give my answer, I don't want to sound foolish haha!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds to me like you're talking about a boy. If that is the case, it makes sense to pretend you don't like him, because you might be feeling too embarrassed or shy to admit that you really DO like him! As for telling YOURSELF you don't like him when deep down inside you know you really do...well, maybe that is to protect yourself from possibly getting your feelings hurt. To me, those aren't REAL lies!
ReplyDeleteOr I'm totally wrong about all that junk I just typed.
If you're talking about something else, than I am totally and completely confused, because I'm foolish like that!
Yes! Nancy you're exacly right. Sorry I wasn't clear Lauren. Thank you for your answers everyone. I really appreciate it! :)
