Because as a noted author and philosopher Ayn Rand pointed out, it makes you another's slave.

Consider - if you tell someone a lie, you are constructing a false reality. Now, every time you see that person, you must go to the trouble of maintaining that false reality, continuing the old lie, and adding new ones as need be. The person's intelligence becomes your enemy, you need him stupid and gullible.

You end up then - best case scenario - a slave who must continuously pander to the idiocy of the person you lied to.

Best to not lie, and not be a slave, and thus not have to fake anything, or rely on the other's stupidity. Especially as the other probably isn't stupid.

People shouldn't lie because it erodes trust in relationships, leads to a lack of credibility, and can cause harm or misunderstandings. Being truthful promotes honesty, integrity, and stronger connections with others.

Why shouldn't people lie about little things to try to impress someone?

Lying, even about little things, can erode trust and create a false impression of who you are. It's better to build relationships based on honesty and authenticity rather than trying to impress others with falsehoods. Being genuine and true to yourself will lead to more meaningful and lasting connections.
