    Lying can get you ahead in the immediate, but then you’re a liar, and liars lose friends and alienate people.

      opposite for me. Sometimes it’s better to lie about small details as to not bag down an unrelated conversation with “well actually it was my sister’s boyfriend’s mother’s dogs uncle that told me that, not my sister’s boyfriend’s dogs aunt.”
      I also have autism and struggle with conversations so that’s probs why.
