In the book Outsiders when Ponyboy says "I lie to myself," he was keeping himself the truth/reality. to try to feel better about what he is really thinking, to make him feel more secure.

When Ponyboy says, "I lie to myself," he means that he wants to believe in specific things that are not going to happen, or that are not true. He tells himself lies, and in reality, he's wishing that they were true or not true. This allows him to feel more secure and relieved, even when times are hard.

When Ponyboy says that he lies to himself all the time he means that he wants to reassure himself that what he says is true when he knows its not true. For example when he lies about Darry he says he doesn't care about him, but really he does care about Darry because he actually loves everyone is his family even though he loves Soda more.

I think that when Ponyboy

I think that when Ponyboy says he is lying to himself, he really is just trying to tell himself its true or not true. Like when he didn't want to believe it but he told himself he did, is just one example. He's just telling himself what he wants to hear, not the truth.

i think that when pony boy says he lies to himself he means that most of the stuff he says to himself is not true or he does not want to believe the truth so he says something different to himself.

when ponyboy says he lies to himself all the time i think he means he convinces himself the opposite of whats really going on when really he knows the truth he just cant let himself admit it.

When Ponyboy says "I lie to myself all the time" he means he tries to make himself believe in a certain thing even when he knows it isn't true. The thing he is lying to himself about in the is that he didn't care about Darry, or what happened to Darry. In reality, he does care about Darry because they are family, all caring for each other. On occasion, I lie to myself about things that are happening, like a fight with a friend or a stressful situation with grades. I try to tell myself that every thing will work out fine, instead of me thinking of a why to handle the problem. I lie to myself about those things because i am nervous of what the outcome might be. I don't do this to often, because there are other way to handle problems.

When Ponyboy says I lied to myself I think he doesn't want to accept that Darry cares for him, so that is why Darry is always yelling at him. I lie to myself a lot like when something major happens I say that it was an everyday thing like nothing happened. I refuse to lie to my self about my true friends and who they are because I had a friend who I thought was a true friend and then they turn around tore me apart ever sense then I really test my friends to see if they would take a bullet for me.

When Ponyboy says he lies to himself all the time I think he means that there are some things he knows that are true yet he keeps telling himself that its not real or it never happend, an example would be Ponyboy really likes movies and books but he could be telling himself that is not true for the sake of fitting in.

What i think Ponyboy means when he says that he lies to himself all the time is that he says that he "doesn't care" but he really does care. Another reason that i think Ponyboy "lies to himself" is because maybe he wants to fit in with everyone else. I would say to be honest I lie to myself sometimes. I think that I lie to myself because that is how I want to feel but I don't. I lie to myself because I feel like it would make me think it but that isn't really true.

When Ponyboy says "I lie to myself all the time". That he doesn't care about Darry, but what he knows is that he dose care about Darry. He tries to tell himself something that isn't true, until he eventually believes that lie. I usually don't lie to myself, when i do it's mainly because i try to tell myself that whatever is happening isn't really happening.

When Ponyboy says he lies to himself all the time he means that he tells himself something that is not true instead of facing the real facts. For example, if your dog died and you said this can't be happening or this cannot be real, you are lying to yourself. I don't lie to myself that often. The only time I really remember lying to myself is when I feel like I am getting sick so i say I'm not going to get sick. I always do end up getting sick in the end, so I basically lied to myself. Most of the time I lie to myself wishing that it really were true.
