Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
How to lie and get away with it denotes white lies and not big lies. A big lie would not bode well for your friends and family members, including your significant others. Some would claim that any lie is wrong and bad, and to a certain extent that holds true. To state that it is wrong in any case or situation is unrealistic. Almost everyone on this planet lies at one time or another.
Step2
The trick to getting away with a lie is that you have to build a relationship or rapport with friends, co-workers or whomever you're lying to. That is the primary ingredient. If you are able to have someone trust you it becomes easier to lie and get away with it.
Step3
Suppose you want to go out on a Friday night and you are home with your child or children. The person you call to watch your kids initially says no. Why not make a white lie? Tell them something that you know would be a truth, but stretch it a little. There are a myriad of white lies you can employ here. You can tell them that you have to go see a sick relative, you have to see someone important, you have a date or something that is, in essence, the truth.
Step4
Employing a white lie and getting away with it can be essential in some cases. Perhaps you have an ex-boyfriend, husband, girlfriend or wife and the two of you are not exactly on good terms. If you have the child or children full time and you really need to get out of the house or you are ready to go to the next step and date again, would you tell your ex to watch your children so you can find another romantic partner? In most cases, that would be silly. You may need to come up with a good reason if there is doubt on the other side.
Step5
There are a lot of reasons you can list to employ the white lie strategy. There is nothing wrong with it if it doesn’t hurt another person.
If you are at work and really not in the mood to work that day, there is nothing wrong with a little white lie and tell your boss that you are not feeling well so you can go home. Maybe you need to finish some projects there that need your attention. Or maybe you just want to go home to relax by yourself; perhaps you want to find another job but can’t find the time. Why not take the opportunity to feign illness and scour the classifieds, go online or consult some contacts you had established.
