There are some person who impressed other people by telling lies about their self, by making stories about their achievement and everything that would make people to like them. Is right, to tell lies just to win friends?

Any relationship based on lies can't be a real one. I think friends are made not won. Hopefully any friendships I have are going to be lasting ones, so the odds of being caught at some point are pretty high, then you lose not only your self-respect, but the friendship as well. Besides that my memory isn't good enough to keep all the lies straight. So in my case, what you see is what you get..embellishment free.

Yeah, any relationship that's form and created by lies is a fake one and would not last a lifetime. Me either when it comes to having friends I would likely be true at first so I know whom will truly like the way I am. Thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

It's acceptable if they are just your acquaintance and you would like them to have a good impression on you but it you want them to be your friends then I would rather not tell them about something that would turn them off. Because sooner or later your friends will eventually learn about those lies and you'll just lose them as soon as they know about those it. You can keep a secret and it's different from telling lies. Cheers!
