I am horrible at lying and I don’t understand how people can do it so easily. Not just the instant creativity of coming up with something plausible, but then they have to remember that AND whom they told which lie to, in case that gets referenced or brought up later. How on earth do you manage something like that?
I got really good at telling little lies because my parents were the type of shitheads to interrogate and blame me for literally any problem. they would refuse to believe me when I told the truth so I found it more convenient to tell them what I thought they’d more likely believe. I think this is a good skill to have but it has fucked me over before because I used to default to doing that with any authority figure.
As someone who “lies for fun” (eg. As a joke) it’s honestly all about the delivery. It doesn’t have to be plausible. If you say everything with a straight face it throws people off.

Lie as little as possible, and always tell them to different groups that won’t discuss them with each other.
