I think there has probably been a similar question somewhere on pc.

Maybe we can get some conversation going here..

Do you ever lie? Do you think it’s ok to lie? If so why?

What about “white lies” to spare people’s feelings?

Also .. do you value empathy in others?

Kindness and respect to all

I have lied to draw out abuse.

The narcissist and their flying monkeys end up showing their true colours...

I don't like lies though

Empathy is much more appreciated

Respect and compassion to all

I have let myself overstate the effectiveness of a treatment either through intimidation by medical professionals or a misplaced desire to please them. I have sometimes understated the seriousness of a situation out of fear of an institutional overreaction.
