Lying is a skill. It's like acting. Think of it as acting. When you make up a lie, you have to make up an imaginary character. For example, if you want to convince your friends that you bought concert tickets, you have to imagine yourself as someone else telling them the info. You can't just throw information out. It has to make sense. You bought the concert tickets off a ticket master website or something like that. Don't just say, "oh I won it by spinning an ad wheel" It has to make sense. The more detailed the lie is, the more believable it is.
