#6: Two Truths and a Lie

This fishy hack is nefarious and borderline creepy. Someone suggested being honest 99% of the time. That sounds like a great principle to live by, honestly. But this person suggested truthfulness for a not-so-honest reason. Over time, you will gain credibility and trust among your friend group and family for being a totally honest person. Then, you can strike.

That one time you need to lie to get out of a dire situation, your friends and family will believe you. You never lie, after all. This long con can be beneficial, but it can also be full of guilt and shame. Sure, people will believe your lie, but how will you feel about it? Can you live with yourself knowing that you conned the people closest to you about your true personality? It’s up to you.
