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.

The danger to me is its sorta impossible to lie without in some way believing it. The Costanza thing. It basically reduces your own ability to discern reality.

Really depends on the lies. Lies that get you ahead on life are typically not the same ones that tend to snger those you care about.
