I often tell white lies because I am trying to protect myself or someone else. Most people tell white lies to people they care about but I tell them to those I do not. If I care about someone, I will tell them their breath stinks or their hair is “not okay” so they can look their best and not be embarrassed. To others, I will easily say “those colors go well together” or “You smell nice.” When I tell white lies, they are reserved for those who do not know me because those I am close to know I will be candid. Besides lying to spare others, I have other small lies to avoid confrontation. I use “I am okay” or “Yes, I am fine” to avoid awkward conversations with people who are not looking for the truth or with those I do not trust in enough to share my inner demons. Other lies like “Yes, I have read the Terms and Conditions” are lies that everyone tells to save
