The concept of Munchausen Syndrome offers another perspective on lying. When we lie, we can get attention. If we’re good at it, we can even get sympathy. And everyone likes being cared for.

Lies have the potential to establish relationships otherwise missing.Of course, they can also destroy relationships. It just takes a keen awareness of your audience and their available compassion.
