Is it okay to lie to spare someone's feelings?
When it comes to sparing someone's feelings, lying can be a tempting option. But is it okay to do so? Let's be real, we've all been there. Your friend asks you if their new haircut looks good, but in reality, it looks like a bird's nest. Or your coworker presents a project that's a hot mess, and you have to pretend it's not. The dilemma is real.
You don't want to hurt their feelings, but at the same time, you don't want to lie. It's like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. So, is it okay to lie? Maybe, if it's a little white lie. But if it's a big, fat lie, you might want to reconsider. Because the truth always has a way of catching up to you.

A little lie for good is okay, but if it's something that doesn't benefit your friend or acquaintance, it's best to give them advice to make the whole thing better. As I said, you'd better let your hair curl a little less and, as far as the presentation is concerned, try to give him some advice on how to improve it.
Agree with Schaakfanaat and Encaustichris. That's still better than lying.
You can also say something like, I would do it differently, or. it's not my taste.
