Most likely, yes. According to many psychologists and researchers, lying can actually harm your ethics and mental/ emotional health.

Here are the reasons why lying is bad for your mental/emotional health

  • People do not trust you anymore.
  • Lying to other people can make your friendship destroyed.
  • You can be poor in socializing or telling people the truth
  • It affects your relationship with God.
  • Lying is just like misleading someone in a harmful way
  • Lying has been researched to be unhealthy to your brain
  • People who lie too much can get emotionally angry or weakened
  • No matter how many times you say or tell the truth, people will still not believe in you if you often lie.

Not everyone is going to agree about lying being good. Some believe it is okay to lie sometimes, and that it depends on what you are lying about. Others believe that it is important to always tell the truth. Some things are certain: If you always tell the truth, you wll not get caught in the trap of having to tell more lies to cover up a lie you have told. You will not get caught in a lie and lose someone's trust. You will get a reputation for being honest and trustworthy.
