Mainter Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 There are people all over the world who use the anonimity that internet gives them to lie about themselves. Why is it so? I don't mean small lies when someone just exaggerates things a little but serious and unnecesary lies. When you believe in people who might have even changed your life and with whom you shared your secrets and then one day they just go wild and it turns out that everything they said was a lie. discuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shai Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Re: Why Do We Lie On The Internet? Why lie? I don't do it in person. I'm fundamentally honest, probably more so than I ought to be. The idea of lying on the Web is pretty silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakatau Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Re: Why Do We Lie On The Internet? I'm pretty much on the same page as well. Quieter in real life and more laid back, but that is mainly due to social apathy more than anything else. Here I can engage people on my own schedule, and am more likely to talk as a result. As far as making up huge lies, I would assume compensation for their poorly managed 'real' life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

count chocula Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Re: Why Do We Lie On The Internet? -when you think about it...it's a lot like "road rage". (the internet lies) when people are in their cars they feel protected, like theyre in their own little bubble and shit. we (car drivers) also dont usually have the oportunity to make eye contact with another driver when little shit happens, i.e. getting cut off, or someone tailgating them, so they run at the mouth and start beef. when, in reality, if that same person were walking down the street and accidentally got bumped by another pedestrian the simple act of looking someone in the eye is enough of an apology in most cases. so it comes back to the fact that most humans are cowards and count on anonymity to get through their worthless, yellow lives. hence: internet lies...as well as most "road rage" cases in general.

r00t Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Re: Why Do We Lie On The Internet? the power of anonymity decreases inhibitions and you do things you normally wouldnt like jack off to tubgirl, troll a thread, or lie on teh intarweb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumPuncher Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Re: Why Do We Lie On The Internet? people lie to make up for what they are not. just look at the e-thugs with all their talk of 'blastin' on fools' but in reality they're living in their mom's basement with doilies under their ovaltine.

Krakatau Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Re: Why Do We Lie On The Internet? I almost said the same thing^^^(Count Chocula). It's because 90% of the time there is really no consequence for lying online, as well. Just register a new screen name. There is also the aspect of social interaction occuring but in limited scale (no body language, tone, etc.). I think that most people tend to assume the worst in others and react accordingly, so when some insignificant shit goes down they blow it out of proportion.
