Imagine you're at school, and your friend accidentally breaks a window. When the teacher asks if they're okay, they say, 'I’m fine.' But their face is red, and their voice shakes, clearly, they’re not fine. This happens because people lie to avoid stress or embarrassment, even when it’s obvious they aren’t telling the truth. It's like wearing a mask that hides how you really feel.
Examples
- Your sibling tells you 'I’m fine' when they’re clearly upset about losing the game.
- You say 'I'm fine' even though your stomach hurts a lot.
