PLEASE IGNORE THE FIRST POST. I MADE A MISTAKE! HAHA


This is keeping it as close as I can to the original.

According to me:

Condition (or) Situation: When a person becomes familiar with you - more than 40%, and that person means so much to you. Then, that person lies because the truth hurts you much more, so he simply lies.

But I don't like this type of person. I can bear any truth, but not the after he lied to me. I hate liars.

So please, people, you must tell me the truth...I can bear any situation...Please, English Correctors, understand these thoughts and make it more perfect by adding your own sentences.

 

This is a bit different, but the same ideas.

According to me:

Situation: Someone means a lot to you and becomes very familiar with you, but lies to you because they think the truth will hurt you more than lying will.

I don't like this type of person. I can handle any situation or truth, but what makes it hard is hearing the truth after the lie.

So please, people, you must tell me the truth. I can handle it.

The Pain When Someone Lies

I believe that when someone becomes familiar to you- enough that you know them fairly well and they start to mean so much to you- they realize that their words can affect you deeply, and lie to spare you from the truth.

Although I understand the motivation, I don't like this type of person. I can bear any truth, just not the truth of knowing that someone lied. I hate liars.

So, please, tell me the truth. I promise you that I can take it.

Native English speakers, please feel free to correct this entry and make it more perfect.

 

Quick logic behind the corrections:

According to me: This technically makes sense, but it is rather formal and rigid (seems like you are ordering something.) "I believe" has a more natural flow.

Condition:When a person become familiar to you above 40%. I understand what you mean here. You really shouldn't use 40% though unless you make it clear what the percentage of (Do you know more than 40% of all the facts about them? Do you know them better than 40% of people? Etc.) Also, this is a sentence fragment. For it to be a sentence, it must follow the pattern "When _____, then _______."

And that person is meant so much to you. Should be either "that person means so much" for present tense or "that person has meant so much" for past tense.

Then that person lies because truth hurts much more to you so he simply lied... Again, this is a sentence fragment (the second half of a "When____, then ___" sentence) You also don't need to repeat "then that person lies" and "so he simply lied." Just using one is enough. 


But I don't like this type of person. Perfect sentence structure here. :)

I can bear any truth but not the truth revealed after he leid to me . Minor spelling correction: "Leid" should be "liad." This is another sentence that is okay structure-wise, but can be simplified by just saying "I can bear any truth, but can't bear being lied to." English is different than other languages in that you can usually be quite direct without being offensive.

I hate lairs. "Lairs" is "Liars."

So please people you must tell me truth ... "Please" and "must" tend to contradict each other in a sentence (with one being a request and the other a demand.) Either "So please, people, tell me the truth." or "So, people, you must tell me the truth."

 

I can bear any situation....This is fine the way it is, I just changed it above to make it slightly stronger and more specific. 

 

Please English Correctors understand the thought and make it more perfect by adding their own sentences. "English Correctors" could be "native English speakers."

"Understand the thought" is kind of unclear. Maybe say "take my thoughts and make them more perfect by adding your own corrections." Since you are directly addressing "English Correctors" (or "native English speakers") here, you can say "your" instead of "their."
