You are supposed to lie. In certain situations. Which is way more than anyone will teach you.
You are supposed to lie if you find yourself in danger. Like if an unknown man asks you if you are alone in a foreign city.
But you are also supposed to lie on daily basis. Adjust who you are based on your audience, push the qualities they want to see in you to the foreground. Just make sure they are not completely false and you are golden. And yes this is completely socially acceptable behaviour, expected as well. If you don't do it people will find you weird and won't like you. Being true to yourself is seen as 'asocial' and bending the truth is not seen as 'fake' unless you overdo it, no matter what media try to tell you.
So lie on your interviews and around everyone but your closest friends. Show them the side of you they want to see and not you as you are. Just pick one adorable quirk to add to it so they also feel you are 'real you' with them but don't be your true self or they will abandon you.
