Well, this is the Internet, so even the most jaded crazy-story-havers can share their experiences. That’s why when a netizen asked, “What is something you’ve done/seen/heard so bizarre that no matter how many times you tell it, nobody believes you?”, over four thousand people came to reply. Do you have a relatively implausible story to share? Let us know in the comments!

Face-to-face interaction is different from communication online, and it impacts lying as well. Even in 2004, researchers studied the effect of technology on the ways we communicate and lie when socializing through different mediums. Interestingly, back then, they found that people lied most when talking on the phone and the least through email. Instant messaging and real-life conversations had similar rates of lying.

When people interacted face-to-face, it was considerably high, too. Communication using the slower and non-recorded media had the lowest rates of the participants lying. Such forms of communication include texting, email, and social media.
All in all, the tendencies remained similar. People still say they lie more when having a real-life conversation and that they lie the least when their communication is recorded (e.g., email, text messaging.)

“They wanted to give an appearance of a life that was better than the life that they were leading.” However, many people also lie just because that’s the standard – “everyone on the internet lies.”
