Now a Skater Boy
If you had to choose the age group that is most notorious for lying, it would be children. They lie to avoid punishment, impress their friends, and occasionally just for lying. For example, they could claim to be a cool kid who can skateboard.
However, if they decide to turn that lie into a skill, that’s pretty respectable in its own right. Still, it’s preferable to admit that you don’t know the skill but are willing to learn it rather than learning it to hide a lie.
Keep ‘Em Coming
Another situation in which someone lies about liking something and then is forced to live with it for years is this one. This time, despite hating lavender soap, a woman exaggerated how much she liked it.
You know, if people were just a little less enthusiastic about their lie, they wouldn’t be able to persuade others that it is their favorite. Simply state that it is acceptable or that you enjoy it sufficiently. Things are going to go south if you say, “I love it.”
