At some point in time everyone tells a lie, whether it's a little white lie or omitting the truth, which is also a form of lying.
When a child learns to talk, they will lie in order to test the power of their words, their ability to manipulate, to get out of trouble and to get what they want. Sometimes lying gets worse with time and age, which is the beginning of problems if not stopped as a child. When the lying is not stopped and they are allowed to get away with lying, it encourages them to continue their lies and deceptions.
"LIARS" will continue to lie, concoct more lies to cover up and protect themselves from being found out as a liar.
Pathological liars (which is a description, not a diagnosis) lie about most everything, large and small. They lie to protect themselves, look good, personal gain socially and financially, and to avoid punishment. Then you have the liars who knowingly lie for personal gain, who get in trouble with the law, these are known as being Sociopaths.
Sometimes liars are so good at lying that it may take some time for you to realize that you are dealing with a pathological liar or a sociopath, not just an occasional liar.
There are clues and signs of a liar's behavior that should throw up red flags warning you, that you are dealing with a liar.
Avoiding eye contact or looking down during parts of a conversation, is a sign of lying.
Voice variation of pitch or the rate of speech, is a sign of lying. In some cases they will use a lot of um-ms and ahhs during their conversations.
Turning their body away, covering their face or mouth, fidgeting of their hands and/or legs is a sign of lying.
Making statements that contradict other stories or statements, should tell you that you are dealing with a liar.
Getting loud and/or irate during a conversation, and/or threatening to leave, when they think you do not believe their lies, is also another good sign of lying.
The number one way of not falling into a liar's trap is to refuse to be a victim of a liar. Open your eyes, ears and mind, and stop ignoring all the signs of a "LIAR"!!!
