My brother works at a pizza place, papa murpheys. He's friends with his co-worker who is pretty much a failure of capitalism. He's 21, no intention of going to college, no girlfriend, lives with 4 people blah blah. My mom thinks that he's low-class, which he is. My brother told his friend what my mom thinks. Awkkkwaaardd.

I would say it isn't. I too divulge too much information sometimes, so my suggestion would be that sometimes silence is better, if you can avoid answering a question. If you can't avoid answering, you may want to tell the asker that you'd rather not discuss it.

anyways yeah telling the truth can be a bad habit, mainly because there is a majority of things that come out of our mouths that people prefer not to here. Then again there is a fine line between having to tell the truth and wanting to tell the truth. Every time you find yourself wanting to say something, make sure you know what you are saying before you say it and if it is something that probably shouldn't be brought up just don't say anything. This would be way better than telling a lie because you don't want to tell the truth, this is how people get caught and make themselves look stupid.

Truth is never bad habit. It is never appropriate to lie. There may be times to keep quiet, but never lie.

While it is seldom appropriate to lie, it is also not necessary to be mean or nasty, using "truth" as an excuse. For instance, if you see an ugly baby, you don't say "Oh what an ugly baby" (the truth), instead you say, "Oh what pretty eyes"(also the truth). Why do I say seldom? Because there are times when a lie is OK, such as when it is entirely harmless "I can't answer the phone right now, I'm busy" when really, I'm on AB.

Simple. It's 10:30 PM. You're standing at a corner bus stop, alone, minding your own business. You suddenly see some guy running as fast as he could, and makes a sudden, sharp turn. Moments later, you see another man also running fast in the same direction, knife in hand. He yells to you in a demanding way 'Which way did that SOB go?!' Will you tell the truth, or lie?

i would call that a good habit, when you say that lying would be a good habit

It is never the right decision to lie, as it tends to snowball and lead to unnecessary complications. The truth may be difficult, but at least it gives the other person the opportunity to process the correct information in a sincere matter. Because of this, I think even "white lies" can be harmful in the long run. No, you don't want to tell her she looks fat in those jeans. But there has to be a middle ground where you respect people by telling the truth and by telling the truth in a very classy manner.

I certainly wouldn't consider [telling the] truth to be a bad habit. When is it appropriate to lie? In my opinion, never. It's just easier that way. Lies take valuable energy that one could use for things much more constructive. (btw, this question just makes me ♥ you even more) ^.^

When the lie won't hurt the other person, but will hurt them if you don't lie. AKA a white lie.
