I work in a part of the office with a bunch of women and one gay man. Not to exacerbate any stereotypes, but they do like a good gossip.
I have a secret to keep from them, and I absolutely have to keep it which will involve lying, which I don't like to do. In this context, its a big ol' secret.
Any hints on being subtle? Cos I ain't no good at it...

How To Spot a Liar:
1. No eye contact. His eyes will look away. If the room has a means of egress - that's where they'll look.
2. Crossing of arms and/or legs (a protective instinct).
3. The pupils of the eyes will narrow. Lying is stressful.
4. Hands on the face, especially the mouth. They are "covering" the lie.
5. Talking fast. A liar wants to get it over with.
6. Sometimes the head will nod a "no" when answering a "yes" question or visa versa. This is a subconscious movement.
7. Mispronouncing the words or mumbling. A liar kinda thinks he is not lying to like him so you will believe him when he pronounces words incorrectly or mumbles.
8. Overstated friendliness/laughing. He wants you to believe and he wants you

I need more info in order to be able to give any sort of advice on this. Can you elaborate a bit. How much do you have to lie?

I don't know yet. No-one else knows that I have a secret, but the topic is one that raises itself reasonably regularly.
Also, my problem is that my estimation of a certain person involved has gone down a little, so I have to keep that on the hush-hush as well.
Obviously I can't give you too many details or I'd have failed already

cheeseman you suck
at least tell us the secret you fucker
either way it's gonna get out.
what is it, you did it with the gay guy?
also that lying stuff is bullshit. those are signs of anxiety. PEOPLE CAN BE NERVOUS FOR ANY REASON, NOT JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE LYING.

I notice I become nervous when I really am telling the truth but I think the receiving end might be speculating that I am lying.
It's the same way when I see a cop in public (like in a store) and I get nervous like I did something. It's as if his presence is convincing me that I am trying to steal something even though I clearly am not.
But since you really will be lying I guess you have to tell yourself "I am telling the truth, I am telling the truth." Eventually you'll forget you're lying.

Always wear long sleeves to cover your track marks.
Never bring your works to work. If you must, at the very least, keep it in the car.
Try to eat well and get some sun. When you're on a heroin binge, it's easy to neglect those things and you end up looking really bad and people start to wonder. |

Stop talking to your co-workers. Conduct all communication through e-mail.
It's easy to lie through the internet. I do it all the time. |

I use an infallible method: I just try to convince myself that my lie is true. I've got an amazing imagination and I'm really weak distinguishing between reality and fantasy, so it works for me.
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting... |

I´m always teklling my kids that they shouldn´t lie... but I think that if the lie is for a good reason and if the fact that you don´t lie will hurt somebody´s feelings, then you should lie and don´t feel bad about it!

Thank you - thought I was the only one.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but, rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming "Fuck, what a trip!" |

On a regular basis life and the demands of polite society necessitate that we engage in the fine art of lying.
I stil don't have a sense of what your lie involves so I can't say much beyond: quit freaking out about it and do it with a straight face.
It's no biggie. Who's gonna get hurt? Does someone life or limb stand to be harmed? Just do it and quit worrying about it.
On a daily basis I tell little white lies to get out of bullshit conversations with bullshit people or bullshit invitations to bullshit things.

Thanks chaps. I think Tre's was the best advice actually, I'm going to just keep my trap shut if at all possible. We'll see how it goes.
(BTW, if any of you are interested, I just found out Nick Oliveri is supporting Mark Lanegan at most of his UK shows....)

Try telling yourself the false story so many times you believe it yourself, you'll be beyond lying. I can vouch for this one, I write for a living.

Moving from the clown to the jester will mean moving from similar to same, from alike to identical, from comparable to analogous. Though applied differently, the colours used on one can be used on another, and a couple of changes of costume will rapidly transform the jester into a clown and the clown into a jester. Strictly speaking, they almost duplicate each other as regards clothes and function, the only difference between them, from a social point of view, is that clowns do not usually visit the palaces of kings. |
