Thereās a 3rd scenario which is not having the ability to detect when you are expected to lie to be nice.

Like if your girlfriend has a fat ass and she asks that if her dress makes her ass look fat then you can say āthe dress makes your fat ass look like the fat ass that it isā or you can say āit complements your curvesā
Neither one is a lie, but one is intentionally spiteful and hurtful, and the other one is like, okay, you obviously like the girl you donāt care about how fat her ass is.

āThat dress does not make your ass look any different than it already is.ā
Youād think a non-commital blank statement like that should work. It does not. One then must explain themselves. Night out: ruint.
