I can be dishonest and not tell the whole truth. usually it's in the form of telling only up to what I have to leaving it to "if they don't ask for the details I don't hve to share.." kind of thing. Most of it is motivated by the need to not "get in trouble" for one thing or another. I don't typically lie about myself in such a way to make myself look better. Although my dishonesty is still just as bad, I hate it when people lie about themselves in the form of being kind of a "storyteller" or "bullshtter". I realize this is hypocritical but it is true that's how I feel.
