On some occasions it is preferred to avoid telling the
truth

Furthermore
, not telling the
truth
 does not mean that you give them an opposite opinion than your true feeling, for illustration, your friend tells you how's his outfit but you do not really like it, the excellent response is to not exaggerate the outfit, just tell him that it is good, or if you want to add
