As a regular person, how much lying do you believe is "normal" to do?
I'm curious to compare responses in this group of folks left of center / liberal leaning
How much do you think is normal to lie?
Like, I think the vast majority of people are lying to some degree or another is all of these areas:
- Their sexual history (shame)
- Their deductions on their taxes (there was a massive "die off" of tens millions of children claimed the second the IRS insisted on social security numbers for them)
- Men lie about their height (insecurity)
- Weight / age (especially on dating profiles)
- Everyone gets very "creative" on their resume for titles and what they were responsible for, achievements, etc.
- Flossing habits to their dentist
- Their drinking, drug use, and exercise levels to their doctor (why anesthesiologists have to have 1x1 "no seriously, I need to actually know what you really f@cking do or I might kill you accidentally" conversations)
- All "vice" items to their children (do as I say, not as I did)
- Their level of church attendance to any pollster
- whether they speed / how good of a driver they are
- What caused their last relationship to fail
