Everyone lies from time to time– whether we are willing to admit it or not. The thing is that most of the lies we tell are small, little white lies that we actually sometimes don’t even say out loud. They are the ones we tell ourselves.
And while some are innocent and sometimes even necessary to make yourself feel better, there are others that, if you convince yourself of them enough, you can develop some pretty sh*tty habits.
Below is a list of lies most of us are guilty of telling ourselves (and sometimes out loud to a friend) from time to time.
