If I don't want to tell someone something I don't tell them.
Yes but sometimes you have to say something if asked a question I find. You can hardly like, not reply at all.
When I'm at the hairdressers I lie about where I'm going on holiday, I make it more interesting...I go into so much detail I surprise myself!
Maybe you should write a book.
I can't lie, I simply couldn't remember what I'd said. Would get caught out too easily
I stick to unimaginative stuff and recycle the same ones so I can't go wrong easily. Like, my job is either cleaning or care work (I have done both of these, so it's not difficult to make stuff up about it) and I spend a lot of time playing Pokemon or seeing my friend Fay if I'm in counselling sessions or have some other sort of appointment.
use tricks and tips to get out of things
@something2say ooh, what sort of thing?
I tend to reply why do you need to know that?
I think that'd make for an even more unrelaxing taxi trip.
I'll reply oh. Right. Then still not give them the information. They don't push it.
That's quite cool, I might try that.
I try very hard to never actually lie, because I don’t find it necessary. What I do instead is to use politicians’ tactics of answering a slightly different question to the one asked, or giving a very general answer which could mean anything or nothing.
@BarelyLiterate Ooh interesting. So if someone asked what you did as a a job and you don't have one and don't want to say that, what would you say? Or if you'd been to an appointment you don't want people to know about? It'd definitely help if I could avoid lying, as it's not in line with my values.
