Sometimes I like to tell white lies to people.
I am surprised to hear what you are telling me. What do you do after you tell the white lies?
I watch that person's response and see how they react to me when they learn the truth.
I know you want to see how people feel about you, but misleading them is not the proper way to do it. Lying to your friends will make them not trust you. You should always be honest with your friends.
I think it's good, since that's the way things should be.
Your relationships will be better if you are honest with people. It is expected that people tell the truth about important matters.
