Why Lie?
You know what they say about compulsive liars – you can always tell when they’re lying because their lips are moving. But did you know that recent studies have shown that up to 5% of people may have a tendency towards compulsive lying? That means for every 20 people you meet, one of them might be the human equivalent of Pinocchio.
Sometimes, the truth is too boring, and we must spice things up. Like when I told my coworkers that I once wrestled a bear… okay, fine, it was a baby bear and a playful tussle. But hey, it made for a great story – I was the talk of the office for many weeks afterward!
