How do I get away with white lies?
<|assistant|>
It's important to be aware of your own motivations when telling white lies. If you're telling them in order to spare someone’s feelings or to protect them from potential hurt, it might be appropriate and beneficial. However, if you're telling them out of self-interest or to avoid confrontation, it may be important to think twice about whether it's best to be honest or not. Establish some “white lie” ground rules; be prepared to explain yourself and make sure the other person truly understands your motives. This may help to alleviate any guilt or embarrassment that can arise from a white lie. Lastly, make sure your words match your actions; otherwise, you may find yourself in a predicament where it will be easier to just be honest.
