    soul mirror, there should be a way you can adapt the negative aspect
    of lying and replace it with a positive one, so that when presented
    with a situation you feel you need to "lie and not show it" you can
    use this traits opposite! This will yield a similar intention, but
    give you a chance to creatively emply more of your positive elements!

    overcome the need for them. Good for the soul ;-)

    Not that I disagree with the above, but I don't think one lie's in
    response to anothjer's person's negativity. Instead to one's own that
    one projects onto others. In other words, one lies to protect one
    from the criticism one would lay on someone else. One lies to please
    one's inner snob.
