Why do you think people lie?
What are harmless lies?
What are lies that we take to heart and shouldn't put up with?
How do you know if someone is lying to you or covering something up?
What should you do if someone is lying to you?
What should you do if someone is lying to you and keep lying to you?
What if it is someone in your family that lies to you constantly should you keep forgiving them or stay out of their way?
Liars... they avoid eye contact if they can't meet your gaze something could be up, they cover there mouth up subconsciously there trying to stop 'the truth' from escaping. They talk fast - a liar wants to get a lie out of the way. They go into too much detail - they've got every angle covered to hid ethe truth those scumbags, They are defensive becasue they feel guilty. They cross there arms or legs- subconsciously they are protecting their body. They are overly nice - they think if you like them, you'll be more gullible. They keep looking up, most people look up when they're imagining and down when they're remembering something. They'll cover up there mouth with there hand or scratch his nose and ears. If they play with there ear or nose or uses there hand to cover thei rmouth be suspicious. They are trying to block the truth. The pitch of their voice will get higher or lower and they'll trip over there words. THey might also lick there lips and look away from you, directing there eyes down and to the right. To get them talking, calmly say "It's alright you can be straight with me." They are probably afraid you'll be hurt or angry, so give the impression tha tyou won't be judgmental. If they refuse, keep your eyes and ears open for clues that could reveal what they're hiding. A ear tug could mean it's a little white lie. THe more fidgety and flushed they look the more likely the deception involves you. If they say, "Believe me", "Honestly," or "To tell you the truth..." they are trying to overcompensate for not being straight forward by using convincing lingo. If they denie something in an exaggerated way, such as "no, I didn't do it". Absolutly lying. If it was the truth, they' just say it once.

Everybody lies.it may only be white lies,but everyone tells lies or omits the truth.Sometimes white lies those concocted to protect someones feelings ,are not big deal at all.
"Pathological liars",the person who seems to feel compelled to lie about both the small and large stuff ,they lie to protect themselves ,look good,gain financially or socially and avoid punishment.Quite often,the person who has been deceived knows it has certain extent deluded him or herself and is therefore to be somewhat pitied..
Some people are so expert at deception that is often takes a long time to find out that we have been lie to..
Here are often clues that you can see in behavior that should make you suspicious.
1.Avoidance of eye contact ---------usually someone makes eye contact at least half the time they are talking to you.
2.Change of voice--------------------a variation on pitch of voice or rate of speech can be a sign of lying..So ca lots of ummms and ahhhhs.
3.Body language-----------turning body away,covering face or mouth,a lot of fidgeting of hands or legs indicates deception.
4.contradicting yourself-------------making statements that just don't hold together should make u suspicious..
THANK YOU :D

yeah, my brother is one of those pathological liars...he would rather climb a tree to tell you a lie than stand there and tell you the truth. DO NOT SIMPLY FORGIVE THESE PEOPLE!! That will only encourage them. I have confronted him my whole life on his tall tales. He still lies, but knowing I wouldn't believe him if he swore on a stack of Bibles has made him less apt to tell me lies.
