30 Times People Got Busted For Their Crystal-Clear Lies And Others Shared Them In This Group
Nobody is innocent when it comes to exaggerating things we’ve seen, heard, or participated in. Like, that smashing b-day party of yours in an abandoned castle that got everyone talking. Except that it was your uncle’s porch and the only guests were your twin cousins from Wyoming.
We’ve all been there, done that, but sometimes things go from exaggerated to plain made-up in an instant. And there’s a subreddit called r/thatHappened dedicated entirely, as its description says, to “true stories that are 100% true and actually happened.” You get the sarcasm.
As for evidence, the 1.3 million members of the community are sharing screenshots of people lying their hearts out with a straight face. Trust me, the result is totally hilarious.

Ultimate Survival Mode
All humans possess the ability to lie: it’s something we’re born with and we die with. One study published in the Journal of Basic and Applied Social Psychology found that 60 percent of people can’t go 10 minutes without telling a lie. At the same time, another study published by the American Psychological Association suggested that lying less was linked to better average health, both mental and physical.
So, why on earth do we lie, then? To find out, Bored Panda reached out to Traci Brown, a fraud-busting body language expert. It turns out, "we learn the benefits of lying when we’re little, like protecting ourselves from punishment or to get what we want. Situations have more gravity as we get older and lying can protect our relationships or even millions in fraud theft,” Traci explained.

Sometimes, we lie just to make other people around us feel good about themselves, so not all lies are inherently bad. But it turns out that “people who tend to lie frequently do for a couple of reasons: survival or they can't tell the difference between truth and a lie.”
Traci said that mental illness can also be the reason for an urge to lie. “It runs the scale from narcissism to psychopaths. And these folks make up about 15% of the population.”

Lying big always starts from simple steps, aka lying small. First, as kids, we learn to tell pro-social lies, like telling your grandma you like that new hand-knit sweater she gave you on Christmas when, in fact, you can’t even look at it.
According to this study from the journal Nature Neuroscience, “when people tell small lies, the brain becomes desensitized to the pang of guilt that dishonesty usually causes.”
The more little pro-lies we give, the less guilt we feel, and the more it snowballs into bigger lies that suddenly become way easier. In some cases, people get so used to falsifying or fabricating things that they start believing their lies. At some point, it turns into habit and it becomes incredibly hard to quit for good.

What really happened: I tried to prove Anti-Vaccination was the right way and my paediatrician destroyed my argument and made me look stupid by asking me simple and obvious questions in the waiting room in front of other patients in a mocking tone
your pediatricion probably pretended to agree so then they could be done with your bullcrap
sounds like something I would do too, if I had to deal with an anti-vaxxer...

get your vaccines and wear your mask. then get some meds for those massive delusions.
I have an MD. I learned more about vaccines watching kids with measles suffer complications like blindness, in he USA, in the 1990s. It broke me. *Broke* me. So, no, the OP has no frigging clue. That, or her "doctor" was a chiropractor.
I call BS here. You have an MD as in you have a doctor that you visit. YOU ARE NOT AN MD. How do I know - because I worked in US hospitals in the 90's. Ironic that you choose to lie in this particular thread. And if you insist on this fabrication of yours, post sites about it. You won't because you can't because blindness is EXTREMELY rare in measles and because measles were not that prevalent here where you would have been 'broken'. RIdiculous. If you said you saw blindness in a 3rd world country from measles, well yes since it occurs in conjunction with vitamin A deficiency 99% of the time "DOCTOR".

First off, what the hell does "ins and outs" mean in efficacy and effectiveness of vaccines? Second of all. Why are you seeing a Pediatrician BEFORE the child was born? In medicine, you are treated by the gynecologist/obstetrician during pregnancy.
I'm sorry - Medical Expert Here, BUT, if you really attended college you might actually know how to spell and use proper punctuation.
"Definitely the truth" Huh. I was going to say she's full of s**t, but since it's DEFINITELY the truth, she MUST be right! (note: sarcasm)
I guess this person's education didn't include basic English and grammar. Sorry, I don't believe that this person's vaccine advice was on ANYONE'S MIND HEAVY.
While your doctor may know more about vaccines, they do not know everything about the medical profession. This is why there are specialists, especially when it comes to Nutrition. Most doctors do very little work in Nutrition and unfortunately there is a lot of bias when it comes to health and body size. Remember doctors work for you. You shouldn't feel ashamed or degraded when you got to the doctor.
For someone who know so much about vaccines one would think you would know a little more about grammar.
While this would normally make me laugh, I have to say it's tragically sad in this case. Not only is the person lying, but doing it badly with story and grammar. Pediatricians know to the Nth degree everything there is to know about vaccines. They would NEVER ask a patient about info on one. Not only is it unprofessional, it's also unethical. Why get info from you that could be wrong and pass it on to someone else. SAD!
Unfortunately, it's all just Antivax clichés in a non-repeating pattern.

Delusional Tall Man Thinks Women Openly Drool Over His Phenomenal Height
The scary part is some dudes are really so deranged, they'll mistake any kind of old look (even disgust) for lust. I had a dude follow me home from the subway one day asking for a date. I'd been staring at him on the subway because he was fat, ugly and looked like he hadn't showered in a week and he apparently mistook that for interest on my part!!

It's honestly sad to see adults or even teenagers making up tall tales like that for attention. This behaviour is only normal for preschoolers and part of a child's development, but definitely not healthy and normal for anyone over the age of 10.
I agree! It's crazy to believe anyone would just straight-out lie like this, especially when they promote dangerous or untrue behavior and ideas. Like anti-vaxxers and flat-earthers.
