Would you choose to tell the ugly truth or a baffling lie?

Intro What is the truth?

The truth is telling someone something correct or true unlike something like a lie where it is something untruthful

Social norm

The social norm about telling the truth is it is in most situations you find yourself a much better idea than lying to a person

When should I tell the truth?

As much as possible lying will not only hurt you but the other person as well so you always should tell the truth when possible (very little situations when lying is better)

Overall

Telling the truth is always the better option when it comes to should I lie or tell the truth not only does lying hurt you and the other party involved but lying may hurt your relationship to making them feel like they cant trust you and as such either stopping your relationship with them or distancing themselves from you as a result thereby ruining your friendship or any other relationship you have with the truth as well as telling the truth can if you have held it in for w while feel like a weight is being lifted off of your shoulders and like u no longer have to carry that weight or don't have to hold it in anymore as well as telling a lie will most likely come back to bite you while telling the truth can prevent this from happening  .

A lie is when someone makes up something that is not true. When telling a lie, this can cause you to create bad habits which can make it a habit of telling lies in lots of situations. People can find out when someone is telling a lie which can lose their trust and could make the relationship between both of them more distant and more apart from each other. Lying is bad and we shouldn’t do it.

There are different purposes of lying, such as lying to not get yourself into trouble or lying to get something you want. Some ways that someone can lie can be called “white lie” which is when protecting someone and telling something that is nor true to protect them.

When keeping a secret when you lied means you don’t tell people about your lie, it can cause you to act weird and unusual especially when you keep talking to the person you're keeping a lie about. Besides losing people's trust, lies can damage your future, it can result in a negative reputation and lots of employers wouldn’t want people to lie and not be honest when applying for a job . 

There is a societal norm that lying is bad. If you lied, people would think you did a bad thing and authority figures can give you punishments because lies are known to society to be bad and that is why people shouldn’t lie. 

I do really do not recommend lying to anyone because it is a habit that you don’t want to continue for the rest of your life. People can cause lots of trust issues when lying to people who are a part of their life which can damage relationships. Even protecting someone can cause people to be more careful and cautious when being with the person who lied. even the one you're protecting could be distant from you because you told a lie. You should never lie.
