It’s not so bad to just lie for attention. What is much worse and lots of people do this is called Motzay Shem Ra. People love to talk about other people and most of the time it isn’t true. For example, s/o asked you about so and so for info regarding a Shidduch. You heard from his neighbor that he always talks to girls; but the neighbor in reality only saw him once talking to a girl and it was for a good reason, which the neighbor doesn’t know about. But what did the neighbor tell you -he always talks to girls. If you now go and spread it, you’re Oiver Motzay Shem Ra! We have to start focusing on important things in life and not the little things. Motzay Shem Ra and Loshon Hora are way too common!
