Life's Little Lies We Tell Ourselves (But Know Are Totally False)
We've all been there – convincing ourselves of something untrue just to feel a little better, dodge a pang of guilt, or avoid the sting that honesty can bring. Here are some of the funniest and most relatable little lies we often tell ourselves:
1. "I'm just resting my eyes" (while binge-watching Netflix for 5 hours) -
Because sleep deprivation is clearly a myth.
.....................................................................
2. "This is my workout outfit" (wearing yoga pants to buy groceries) -
Sweatpants are athletic wear, right?
.....................................................................
3. "I'm not procrastinating, I'm just prioritizing other tasks"-
Facebook scrolling is research, isn't it?
.....................................................................
4. "I only had one glass of wine" (with a empty bottle nearby)-
Math skills clearly not required for wine consumption.
.....................................................................
5. "I'm reading this article for educational purposes" (it's a celebrity gossip site)-
Kim Kardashian's life is totally relevant to my career goals.
.....................................................................

6. "I'll just check my phone for a second" (2 hours later...) -

7. "This pizza is a salad because it has vegetables on it" -
Tomato sauce is basically a vegetable, right?

8. "I'm running late because of traffic" (left the house late) -
My clock and I just had a disagreement.
.....................................................................
9. "I'm doing this for my mental health" (playing video games all day) -
Fortnite therapy is a thing, isn't it?
.....................................................................
10. "I only spent $20 at the store" (with 10 bags of stuff) -
Math skills abandoned at the checkout line.
