i have lied sometimes and i can tell the people i have lied to, knows i was lying! sometimes i want that person to know...sometimes i maintain the lie...
the funny thing is...if u find that someone is lying and u are 100% convinced of it then why does everyone work hard to make the person say the truth!

since the person lied, we obviously know the truth after looking at the result...yet we will feel bad... we have emotions, anger comes into play..

now have u always asked why that person had to lie? consequences, fright, weakness... know why he lied and ease the truth out.... make the person comfortable with some kind of story fake or real...make the person know that if u tell me the truth its not the end of the world, i am here, and we will work it out!

lying is perhaps what ruins most of everyone relationships in the long run...


anyone who has never made a mistake has never really tried anything new

If you know the person that you're talking to really well, you can just tell. Their voice will go slightly higher, a minute smile might curl at their lips, or their eyes will aviod yours.

Theres a girl at school who lies a lot. I have had much time to observe it, so.here it goes:

•She will avoid eye contact at all costs. Now she habitually wont look at me even if shes telling the truth, but I still have other ways to tell.
•She will fidgit and squirm under inspection, esp. caught by suprise. One thing that i notice is that she will combine ^with this and try to scratch her forehead, eye, eyebrow, etc, or flip her hair so she doesnt have to look @ me.
•becaus eshe likes me, most of the lies will bring her charecter closer to mine.
•She will always "forget" details and the information will vary hugely when she is asked at different points, from a couple of days + apart, to a few hours apart, depending on the size of the lie.
•She will try MANY times to change the subject from the lie to things ranging from her home to school to questions to other people to events to agreeing with me
•She will agree with me as much as possible, even when she clearly has no idea what im talking about or my opinion changes regulary.

How to stop it: ive only gotten results in certain ways-
•"i like you just the way you are"
•"if i had a clone, im not sure that id like it very much...i can get annoying. What do YOU think?" This varrys to situation.
•"ive noticed youre acting different. I dont exactly like it..."
•I ask questions. Like instead of" i like XYZ do you?"i say "What books do YOU like? We read so many simmilar ones im sure that you could reccommend some good ones."

Ive tried "youre lieing" but they always feel too defensive. Its too absolute an asumption.

I hope this helps.


LOL U ACTUALLY THOUGHT I WOULD WRITE SOMETHING INTELLIGENT HERE!!!!!! ...DONT JUDGE ANYONE!!!!!
