Do you ever give excuses that are not really true? When and why? It seems that everybody tells lies Well, not big lies, but what we call “white lies” The only really questions are about when we lie and who we tell lies to A recent study found that in conversation people frequently stretch the truth Here are some ways they it

People often lie because they want to hide something from someone For example, a son doesn’t tell his parents that he is dating with a girl because he doesn’t thing they will like her In stead, he says he is going out with the guys

Sometimes people lie because they don’t want to something For example, someone invites you to a party You think it will be boring so you say that you are busy and can’t come

Often we stretch the truth to make someone feel good For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it tastes terrible Do you say so? No! You probably say “Hmm this is delicious!”

Other times we don’t want to tell someone bad news For example, you have just had bad day at work, but you don’t want to talk about it So, if someone asks about your day, you just say everything was fine Telling “white lies” isn’t really bad Most of the time people it because they want to protect a

friendship
