Then, not than.

No, a lie is when you deliberately mislead or state something you know to be false.

It makes them ungrateful and ungracious but not a liar

Looking at your header…. You are ‘the person’ . Not ‘that somebody’. No it sounds like you are spoilt and have too much and want more. But don’t really want it, you just want someone else to buy something for you.

Yes.

"it sounds like you are spoilt and have too much and want more.

How did you reach that conclusion?

There's different ways of looking at this. If I said to my husband today that I fancy a nice fillet steak on Friday and he went out and bought some and, come Friday, I said I would rather a paella instead, does that make me a liar? Does it make me spoilt?

I don't think it makes me either. People do frequently have a change of heart about something. I can't see that this is any different.

Joe, you started your explanation with "if a person is unsure...". That is the relevant part to me. Unsure, as in - quite fancy that but not sure I really want it. I guess many of us have said something similar over time. When window-shopping we usually need time to reflect on a possible purchase. My answer is no, it does not make someone a liar. How that person rejects or refuses the gift may be another matter entirely ;)

No...they are not a liar. They are possibly just unsure. We are allowed to change our minds.
Like choux mentioned...I always need to give thought to whether or not I really want/need something.
It was nice though that a person bought the item...maybe exchange it?

Maybe, possibly just being honest... You didn't get what you wanted... bless. Maybe unsure but you seem a miserable scroat and not appreciate whet a gift is.

Liar is a name for someone who habitually tells things that are not true. Is that what you do ?

A one off is a lie, something which may make folk suspect the teller is a liar though.

I do not believe for a moment if you give someone true information and they mislead themselves that the true information is suddenly defined as lies. That is a nonsense.

Taking your version of events at face value, you do not claim to have lied, so I don't see that you qualify.

However you must've given the impression that you wanted whatever it was, so you should be more careful in future: and in future accept whatever is given to you with thanks, as it wasn't necessary to inform the giver that you didn't appreciate their efforts and therefore make them feel bad. If that is what you did, then maybe an apology is in order.
