Umm...no

Dear people that are supposed to be my friends,

Stop lying to me!

Thanks

Why people feel the need to lie is beyond me. Lying to spare someone's feelings never works for a number of reasons:
1. They always find out
2. they are hurt because you lied (either direct lying or lying by omission)
3. They can't trust you like they used to
4. Feelings are still hurt

Now I'm not hurt or even mad, I'm just annoyed at how unnecessary this all was. Yes, I still found out in the end (I always do). However, lying out of fear is the coward's way out. Stop doing it. Man up! Of course forgiving someone you have a good friendship with is a little easier than normal. However, if I have no attachment to you whatsoever, lying really doesn't help your case. Sitting in my room, pretending to be my friend, and repeatedly lying to me for at least 15 minutes does not make me think favorably of you. As a matter of fact I like you even less, which turns into a dislike of you. So the lesson for the day, ladies and gentlemen, is don't lie.
