what makes you lie? do you lie to make your image more mysterious? do you lie to pretend to be a better person? do you lie to hide your stupidity? do you lie to make up for your irresponsibility? do you lie because you are a pathological liar?
all your lies make your image less and less mysterious. all your lies portray you more and more negatively. all your lies show your stupidity and irresponsibility. all your lies make you look like a pathological liar. is this who you are? do these lies really make up your truth?
что заставляет тебя врать? ты врешь, чтобы сделать свой образ более таинтственным? ты врешь, чтобы казаться лучше, чем ты есть? ты врешь, чтобы скрыть свою глупость? ты врешь, чтобы восполнить свою безответственность? ты врешь, потому что ты не можешь не врать?
твое вранье делает твой образ все менее и менее таинственным. твое вранье изображает тебя более и более негативно. твое вранье демонстрирует твою дурость и безответственность. твое вранье показывает, что ты не можешь не врать. это действительно ты? это вранье и составляет твою сущность?

I really try not to lie at all. I think society forces you to lie a bit (we call it 'politeness' or 'white lies' or whatever) but I see that more as social norms and means of social survival. You're nice to your boss even if you dont really want to be. You tell a friend they look nice, even if they don't, because you don't want to hurt their feelings and hurt them. But outside of that, I really feel it is important not to lie about who you are, what you think, etc.
I do think that sometimes, as a coping mechanism, you start lying to yourself. And sometimes, even after you've accepted the truth, it is hard or impossible to vocalize it. The fact that you are this, or think that.
I'm not sure if that makes sense.

this is not about white lies. this is kind of about lying to oneself. this is definitely about lying to others and others discovering or suspecting these lies, and about their perception of you before and after. it does not have to be a big lie about who you are etc. it could be a little lie, or repetitive little lies that would not hurt anyone. its about how another person looks at you upon discovering them.
