* I used to lie a lot to my mother, because not tolerating her anxiety when I spoke hard-truth ~ just simple conditioning really. Most lies are due to conditioning in early age.

* I would lie to my boss to avoid a last-minute call for work - I can't say I'm depressed and I just don't have the energy to move myself.

* I lie about my sexual/romantic experience because I'm too embarrassed to tell the truth.

* I make little lies to make fun (but never hurt others)

This all has nothing to do with bipolarity, only the when slightly manic I can come up with **** but it's a different story.
