Why Do We Lie?
Here's one take on why we lie: to protect ourselves. You may ask, “from what?” The answer: from the consequences of our actions.
For example, if you willy-nilly open your car door and ding another car, what is one of your very first reactions? You may comment to yourself, or aloud, how stupid you are for not looking, or you may blame the other person for parking too close. "That idiot." But it’s the next reaction that has us seek to escape the consequences. That conditioned reaction is to quickly look around to see if anyone saw us.
If you drive away after deducing that no one witnessed your act, you deny you’re responsible, which is a lie.
When you see someone lie as easily as they breathe, you know they have something to hide. They are not willing to pay the consequences for their behavior.
One of the 5 signs of immaturity I've written about in the past is the failure to take responsibility. The hardcore liar refuses to account for their actions. That not only makes them immature, it makes them unreliable – not someone you can count on.
If you want to be treated as an adult, stop lying and start accounting. If you continue to deny, you're living a lie, and no one can protect you from the weight of your fate.
All the best,
John
