he seems to be generally paranoid and probably believes his own lie at some point. This happens to me sometimes as well. I tell a friend on Monday that I can't on Friday because of a doctors appointment or whatever and by Thursday I almost believe I really have to go to the doctor the next day :D

Try honesty. You don't owe an explanation.

[manu19]

Probably a cultural thing. When someone asks the way and you don't know, you just make up something on the spot as well because you just don't want to say "no" while other people would simply say "I don't know" I would say "ah yes it is to the left and then straight ahead"

What culture gives wrong directions? That’s just lying.

happens 99 % in Mexico, where my BF is from. There are even jokes about it in YouTube videos. Germany as well, but that is also more regional. Some people love to chew loudly, others rather lie than saying "I don't know".

Sis, where in Germany would that be because I'd like to avoid that place at all costs! D:
There's also a difference between "Ich glaub' das ist da vorne links und dann geradeaus...?" and "Ja, das ist da vorne links und dann geradeaus!", and the latter is considered a lie and not a polite way out.

[thrysus]

where? ah yes, it is to the left and straight ahead

[electric_lemur]

Lol I’ll be in Mexico in a few hours, I almost want to test this out for myself.

It legit happens in Ethiopia, if people don't know the way they will make something up. Sounds bizarre but true.

[electric_lemur]

Haha that is bizarre, but thinking about it is pretty funny

[missyxxmisch]

lol that's so random! I wish someone would explain it more, like a deep dive kind of take. It's interesting.

[tigirah]

Yeah I don't understand that.

You would rather help a person get even more lost, thank look stupid saying you don't know? Why?

All you have to say is "sorry, I'm not sure" "sorry, I have plans" like grow up lmao.
