What happens when your friends
and/or business clients lie to you
about their activities or obligations
and you catch them via social media? Do you call them out on it and
risk losing a friend/client? — Ryan, via email
Q
This is why it is best to abstain from
social media while lying about your
whereabouts. If you tell a friend you
can’t make dinner because you’re stuck
at the office, no need to Instagram your
evening at a Jay-Z concert. But when you’re lied to, pick
your battles as you would with any lie. Some lies are
harmless or originate with people we don’t care about,
and some can corrode trust and friendships or damage
