The white lie- This lie is like me telling a girl that her hair looks good before a date even though it may not look that great, but it makes her feel good and I don't have to wait another hour for her to get ready.
Facades- An example of this is how every first day of highschool I dressed really nice to try and impress girls, friends I haven't see in a while, and new students that may have joined the school. I would continue this until i eventually didn't care and started wearing basketball shorts again.
Ignoring the plain facts- This would be like letting my friend take a math test for me even though I know he's terrible at that subject, but I still give him a chance cause I trust him and he claims he knows what he's doing.
Deflecting- This would be like a girl trying to tryout for a guys basketball team, and claiming she's good, but the guys don't think she's good enough and they never seen her play. So instead of the girl proving them wrong and trying to show she's good enough she just argues and calls all the guys sexist.
Omissions- This is something I have honestly done quite a few times, and probably always will. For example one time I was taking a shower with my iPhone in the room and I'm assuming due to the steam when I got out a lot of the functions on my phone weren't working. So I took it to the apple store hoping to get it replaced and the first thing I was asked was did you spill water on it. Since technically i didn't I said know and luckily they couldn't tell what really happen and I went home with a free brand new phone.
Stereotypes- I have a friend who I recently found out was Jewish and it was awkward how I found out. I was trying to park my car in a very tight parking spot because someone was basically taking two lanes. I ended up not making it in, so I took this girls lip stick and wrote on the windshield of the person who couldn't park and wrote " don't be Jewish learn how to park" and went on with my day. Later telling this story to my friends one of the said hey I'm Jewish and he really was, and he found that offensive and said he a really good driver.
Groupthink- This is like when I played on a basketball team while during the game you had to make plays that were for the good of the team whether it had positive or negative results. Such has diving on the ground for lose balls where you can get hurt, but you need to get that ball to help your team win.
Delusion- I have a friend who does nothing all day besides chill, and then smoke weed. And I always ask why do you smoke and tell him he's addicted, which he doesn't agree with. He says he smokes to chill and relax, but this guy has no job has like 2 classes and has plenty of money. So he doesn't need to smoke to chill since that's what he does all day anyone. He just doesn't want to believe he has a problem and should stop.
Dismissal- This can be like when I was a kid and my parents used to take me to theme parks which I hated roller coasters cause I thought they were to fast. My dad used to tell me that the rollercoasters were just look fast but really only go at most 20 mph. So it convinced me to go on and quickly found out that was not true.
