			We've seen it all on the forums, and have probably at one  
point in our lives done one or more of the following: 
 
Embellishing 
 
Exaggerating 
 
Fabricating 
 
The kind of thing that seems harmless...right? 
 
Then there is lying. 
And the Intent. 
 
To Me 
...to lie with the intent to make yourself feel better does not mean  
that you're always aware of the fact that while doing 
 so you are making others feel as though the intent 
 is to make them feel bad about themselves.  
 
 I learned this one at a young age.   
 
But there's a default feature of my own  
that follows the veins of the 'benefit of the doubt' theory. 
  
 
Throwing in statistics that make the OP's numbers from another thread 
 seem unobtainable surely has to have folks wondering whether 
 there's embellishing or otherwise happening.   
 
So I think that speculating seems fairly ordinary at this point. 
 
Of course, the manner in which we all engage about it should  
not be such that it raises the blood pressure of our keyboards...n stuff.
