I do think that being honest is much much better than trying hard to please other people by giving opinions you don't agree with. If you think how you are with your close friends, you don't always agree with them, and you'll let them know. There'll be (friendly) arguments about certain things. Voicing your own opinion and not just thoughtlessly agreeing with everything someone says earns you their respect, as long as you're not being too needlessly aggressive about it.

Being all realistic about things doesn't mean I don't get what I want. I honestly can't think of any person or thing that I really wanted that I didn't get. I just don't want outlandishly impossible things like yoda or to be a Pokemon master and travel the world with Pikachu.

Eh i should clarify I'm not on about lying to things like 'Do i look fat in this?' (Answer: Yes dear, In fact you're blocking all available natural light.) type questions or harmless funny lies. I'm talking about 'grade A' lies. If that makes any sense.

I don't think lying will get me into heaven and a lot of your assumptions about lying I find hard to believe. But my bf doesn't bother lying about my appearance, he's told me many mornings "you look like crap today, go home." And it just makes me smile.
