Lying can be used in a game of poker.It should not be done to break the law.Lying can cause a lot of distress.There are only a few times when lying is appropriate, and you can improve your skills by practicing and knowing what to avoid.Good luck with your fabrications.
Step 1: Have a reason.
When you have something to gain, lie.People won't realize when you have broken if you limit your lies.People who lie a lot, like pathological liars, cannot help themselves and can easily be caught.It's difficult to keep track of a lot of lies and people know that they can't trust you once you have been caught lying several times.
Step 2: You need to lay your groundwork.
Before you tell your lie, work out all the details.Practice makes perfect.The easier it will become if you keep telling the same lie.It is easy to find out if a person is lying when details become vague and nervous begin to set in.
Step 3: Don't tell a lie.
It will be easier to tell a lie if you add more truth to it.It's more like you're leaving a false impression.You can try to avoid follow-up questions by coloring in as much truth as you can.
Step 4: Pick your target.
Someone is listening to your head.A good liar uses the same tools as a good communicator.Prepare your listener for what he wants to hear.If you want to avoid any suspicion in your story, you need to know what your listener's interests are.
Step 5: You should watch your body language.
Lying can make you jittery.You may not notice that you are making noise.Limit gestures that are not natural to your personality because people can pick them up.Some people talk faster than normal and give too much eye contact.If you want to get the most natural delivery, rehearse in front of a mirror or a friend.
Step 6: Prepare for the emotional context.
When asked about the emotions associated with their actions, liars may get caught off guard.When they deliver their answers, they may sound mechanical.Emotions will be added to the details of your lie.
Step 7: Relax your lips.
When telling a lie, lip compression may be a negative reaction.People testifying compress their lips.Relax and get through a tough line of questioning.
Step 8: It's easy to breathe easy.
It is a sign that you are nervous or uncomfortable.A long deep breath can be a sign that you are about to tell a lie.
Step 9: Don't touch your neck.
Many people unconsciously touch their neck.People usually reach for their neck.A lot of people may adjust their tie instead of touching their neck.
Step 10: Put your body in front of the person you are talking to.
A difficult conversation can cause you to turn your body away.You can turn your stomach away from someone you are lying to or from an accuser.You can create a barrier by crossing your legs.If you have just been asked a question, keep your torso facing your audience.
Step 11: You should keep your hands away from your eyes.
When in a difficult conversation, people may reach for their glasses or rub their eyes.When telling a lie, keep your hands in a neutral position.
Step 12: Your thumbs are visible.
It is possible that you are not committed to your statement if you hide or lower your thumbs.People have their thumbs straight and apart when they are more emphatic.
Step 13: Your speech should be natural.
Changes in your speech patterns can raise suspicions.When nervous, some people may talk faster, high-pitched, or give more errors in speech.They want to convince you of a lie so they can hammer it home.As you speak naturally, avoid overly repetitive information.As they try to read their listener to see if their lie is being believed, liars may probe with repetitive information and their spoken words may be weaker at the start and end of a statement.Repetition may be difficult to read if you use a cellphone.
Step 14: Take the length of a pause into account.
The cultural context may affect how you use pauses.It may come off as regrouping to deliver a lie if you use a pause."That is a good question" may come off as a lie if you delay to think about it.It will be difficult to detect pauses in speech without proper context.
Step 15: You should keep your facts straight.
Consistency is maintained.It may be difficult to keep everything in order if you tell a big lie.Even if it's not asked of you, remember every detail.It's important to give the same information to different people.
Step 16: Continue to be focused.
To be honest, you have to commit to your lie.It is obvious that you are lying.Lying may make you feel bad.As you want to get the lie over with, your body language and facial expressions may give away your emotions.If you were telling the truth, you must commit to your lie.Some people enjoy lying and don't show shame or remorse.Lying is not a good activity to do if you don't get much joy from it and find it hard to commit.
Step 17: The pressure needs to be increased.
Turn the table and lie to your accuser.You can ask questions like "Why were you there, do you not trust me?" or "I am sure you do not want your friends hearing what you have been up to either."
Step 18: Distract from the issue.
People are driven away from other issues by politicians.People are uncomfortable accusing others so any chance they have to change topics may be seen as welcomed relief.If a politician is asked about his views on the economy, he may drive the conversation to immigration.If your brother is accused of driving without a license, you can move the conversation to him.
Step 19: Get a deal with your accuser.
By admitting to things that your accuser will find satisfactory, you can avoid responsibility from your lie.Constructive blame will deflate the anger associated with it.
Step 20: Know what's going on.
People may try to catch you in a lie by asking you questions.When more precise questions are asked, make sure you know the details.
