Why do people lie?

I know why people lie...but why do they make HUGE LIES!?! i can't understand...i've never fabricated a story that was so outrageous that i had to keep straight what i say. What irritates me more is that people tell me the CRAZIEST shit and for some reason i stupidly believe them...or at least not call them out on their BS!

A boy told me he was having a Super Sweet 16 party and MTV would be there with Rhianna singing...and he would have a white suit and cane....despite the fact his clothes are....not that fancy for someone with "a lot" of money.

A black girl told me she was a japanese ninja assassin. I actually believe this girl was half japanese...but i DEFINATELY was not dumb enough to believe the ninja assassin shit...and that she got SHOT pfft..yaa.

A guy told a friend he had sex with me then he told me he was being sarcastic even though the guy asked him twice if he was serious about doing it with me and the guy knew his friend believed him. I DEFINATELY DID NOT BELIEVE THIS LIAR! but you guys know this story...

A girl told me she wasn't bi "anymore"....but she hugged me in a pool...NO that's NOT hot...it's FUCKING WEIIIRD! anyway i dunno if that was a lie but it was still freaky.

A friend told me she didn't have a lot of money but she's had a PSP 2 cellphones and 3 different MP3s in the last 3 years. That's a load of shit for someone who only has one working parent!

I know this sounds cold...but i'm getting damn SICK of everyone...maybe it's having to do with being close to the end of highschool...do you ever think that when humans get close to the end of ANYTHING they feel relieved but irritated as well...like grumpy old people closening to the end of their lives....feel like "TO HELL WITH EVERYONE!"

because that's how i feel EVERYDAY! i think the whole world is insane and the people who have come close to understanding who i am don't really get me at all...in fact I don't get me...but i'd rather spend a day alone than with any of the aggravating people at my school or the psychos i've met through the years.

I'm no good at lying, the most i could muster is answering yes to a no question.

I enjoyed your take on the liar thing, Maybe those people don't think they're lives are interesting enough to talk about so they just make up shit as they go. I'm middle aged and I still run into them sometimes. I have found it is best to rebuke them and correct this activity of lying as harshly as possible without causing a lot of drama for myself. If it causes me to have drama in my life I just ignore their ignorance and have little or nothing else to do with they're lying asses. That's just my opinion and like everything else it really doesn't matter unless you are looking me in the eye. This is just an illusion.

Lot of truth in this, ironically.

I once told a friend that if you you stick towels around your xbox 360, then it would last a few years more...

...he actually did it...

go back to living in your mother's dirty worm infested cunt, clearly you haven't spent enough time in there to mature.

People tell lies for the following reasons:

1. To seem cooler than they really are.
2. To be funny. (usually, it isn't)
3. To not get in trouble.
4. Because they're not smart enough to know the real truth, so they make stuff up.
5. To piss you off if you hate lying.

Why do people lie?
