Between the Answer and the Truth

When someone asks you a question, we are often stuck for answers. Depending on the situation, we would give and honest answer which does not necessarily mean the whole truth but may contain a molecule of it.... at the very least. For example:

• "nah, you look ok in that, dont worry"
• "the food was.....fine"
• "don't worry, I'm gonna be fine"
• "....chill"
• "....maybe..."
• "er....i got plans"
• "I think you're cute in your own way"
• "...that was interesting"
• "its so.....you"
• "you're not fat, just more huggable"

But some answers may mutate into becoming something so sinister that the only comeback that you can give is by giving the same one......backhanded compliments. The evil cousin of sarcasm and insults, causes one to be unable to retaliate in the best way (e.g: go all barbaric  and SMASH!!!*growl*) but forces us to retain the inner beast that is raging inside. Instead we're left with only sarcasm as our ammo....or worse..just smile and act all ignorant. No wonder we're all so stressed up nowadays, all that pent up tension of reading between the lines, always being forced to follow 'Da Rules' *sigh*

Ok ok, sometimes bending the truth is fine and all but sometimes....you gotta fake it. Especially when it's someones feelings that's involved. But this applies to only your dearest love ones. The rest well, I'd just try to be nice. Frenemies.....why would i even bother having one in the first place XD I'm sure most of the you have done this before

• said that you left/lost/burned/something-ate your homework
• said that you're busy but actually, you just don't want to hang around a particular someone
• said that you're out with friends....but that ain't the case
• left your wallet and ask for them to treat you when in fact....you're just being cheap
• got presents but hate whatever it is that you got secretly
• at the salon, tried to convince self that haircut was good...go back home cursing the hairstylist
• "I'll be ready in 10 minutes" LIES!!!!
• "I'm on the way"
• "naah, i never watch the kardashians" (secretly watch it when no one's looking)
• and the best of all......i love you too
