I often find myself asking: "Why do people cheat?" Honestly, what drives people to cheat on someone they're in a relationship with? If you didn't want to be with them you shouldn't have asked them out (or said yes if they asked you). If something in the relationship isn't working for you and you want out, then simply just tell them. Why cheat when you can just as easily see more than one person without being in a relationship? It's pointless, and to me, illogical. If you put yourself in the deep end, then sort it out before moving on. Don't stick with it and dig your grave at the same time.

I often find myself asking: "Where is the need to backstab a friend/loved one?" I don't get it. Why do people pretend to be friends with someone if they really, deep down, don't like them? The person you backstab will find out, and the outcome will be nasty. If you don't like someone, the least you can do is to make the feeling apparent. Going on as though you like them and then being two-faced about them behind their back is commonly labelled 'immature'. If you at least make it pretty clear that you don't like that person then at least you're being honest.

Another issue that bothers me is, "Why do people lie so much?" Because, truth be told, it is one of the worst ways to lose respect - especially from those you consider to be close to you. Don't lie to make yourself look good, because from then on, you'll be adding more and more lies to make this story seem true, and when they find out it was a lie they will turn on you. Don't lie to someone you're going out with, because they will always prefer the truth no matter how much it hurts. And if you've done something wrong and are asked about it, don't lie to cover it up and stay in the 'good books' - what's the use in continuing to lie about it when you've already been found out? If they've discovered the truth and confronted you about it, be a genuine and honest person like you truly are and take a stand.Don't build so many lies til the point where your life and yourself are a lie.

These three things bug me to the core. It makes me angry/disturbed and god knows what! And when these things happen to you and that too from a person you never expected, you start to wonder what kind of people you know. I despise these traits; confront me and I'll be honest, tell me I'm wrong and I won't fight against it, tell me I've lied - and you should know better!

I don't sit around making up conspiracies about my life to impress people, I have nothing to lie about. If I don't like someone, I stay away. If I have nothing good to say about someone then I say nothing at all, unless they talk to me about it. And cheating - I've never done such a thing, but it's happened to me once and that has literally torn me apart.

I lose respect for those who do these things, even if it's not all respect - we're only human after all. But if you want to be my friend, do me a favour and just talk to me - I try not to be a bitch and I'm not going to start any fights. But if you tell me lie after lie after lie, then just don't bother.

The above excerpt aptly describes the situation I was in, not long ago. I agree word by word on almost everything said here
