Liar Liar Pants on Fire!

I'm a bad liar even though I can keep a straight face and sound convincing. I'm a bad liar because I can't lie to my best friends or family, two groups of people most people lie to on a regular basis. I can lie about my age and my relationship status when necessary, I can also lie about my whereabouts. I let myself believe lies when they make me feel secure or when I don't want to face the truth. I can never ever lie about something I did though. I am unable to cover an action or lie about words I spoke. Physically, my mouth starts to fall sideways off my face. Mentally, I cannot stand liars and obviously I would never want to emulate something I despise. Lying about major things shows me three things about a person. 1) I can't trust them. 2) They can't trust themselves. 3) They are too immature to accept consequences for their actions. I have lost a few friends because of their strange inability to tell the truth when it matters, and my best friend since seventh grade has never told me a single lie, nor done anything to lie to me about. As a result, we haven't gotten in a single fight the four years we have been inseperably close. I believe trust is a huge part of all relationships because if you can't trust someone you don't feel comfortable around them. If you aren't in a relationship where you are comfortable, why are you in that relationship at all?
