You told your friend you would be there for that special occasion. But you simply don’t want to go. Do you: Make up an excuse and hope your friends don’t know a lie when they hear one? Or confess that you just do not want to go out? New research suggests that if you want to keep your friends, your best bet is honesty. Most people understand having to cancel, as long as they feel they are not being lied to about the reason.
