An approach where an individual makes up and or exaggerates stories to
try to conceal what really happened at specific events and or to
try to glorify themselves, in order to portray the
situation in a way that works in their favor. People often do this to improve their reputation, attack their enemies, and
push people to support their goals. This approach is often unethical as it falsely portrays what happened at certain events and who you really are. It is also quite risky to the individual using this approach, because if people find out what really happened, they
will stop believing the stories told by the individual, which reduces their credibility and trustworthiness.
Ventis: I heard that Donny supposed got attacked by five guys, but defeated them all without suffering a
scratch.
Henry: Yeah right. A
guy with no self defense training and a boat load of arrogance at all defeated five guys without suffering any injuries. He is lying through his teeth.
Emma: Based on what I know about him there is no way in ninety years he could
pull that off. He is playing an illusionist’s game, in order to improve his reputation.
Henry: I agree with you there.
Ventis: I agree with both of you. He can't be trusted to tell the
truth about what really happened.
