Lying is not good - this is a statement that most people believe in. It's just that events often occur in life that, for one reason or another, force them to speak a lie. They are the ones who force you to think about the extent to which the lie is disgusting, and how to act when faced with it directly.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide how critical you are of lying. Consider various life situations. Sometimes some events force people to resort to the so-called "lie to save". For example, children often try not to talk about the death of loved ones. There are many reasons for this, and one of them is to protect them from the pain of loss, grief, tears. The goal, of course, is a noble one. But in order to achieve it, a clear distortion of the truth is used, i.e. not true. Or, for example, sometimes a person does not want to talk about his problems, and therefore deceives relatives and friends, saying that everything is fine with him. It turns out that lying is not always terrible, and in some cases it is even beneficial. You just need to understand: there is a lie, which, indeed, cannot be forgiven, but there is one that can be explained, understood and closed eyes to it. And even that line, beyond which it is forbidden to cross, each person creates for himself personally, relying on many factors.
Step 2
Don't take everything you are told on faith. Some people tend to jump to conclusions without getting to the bottom of the problem. If you are sure someone is lying, then first of all talk to the culprit. It is possible that after such a conversation you will look at the circumstances from a different angle. Most importantly, do not give in to emotions and do not do anything in the heat of the moment.
Step 3
Be mindful of the little things. For some, lying is a way of life. Such people lie at almost every step, and they themselves get confused in the details. Someone calls such personalities dreamers, someone else … But the fact remains that if you often catch someone on petty lies, then there is a high probability that a person will not tell the truth even in a serious matter. Such a lie is hardly worth treating as something important. Just mark for yourself those who clearly do not need to be trusted.
Step 4
Remember that you yourself are probably not an angel. After all, most likely, you sometimes had to face a choice: lie or tell the truth. And it is possible that you leaned towards the first. So, before "throwing lightning", being in righteous anger from the revealed deception, it is better to "try on" the situation "on yourself." You might also want to avoid the truth and would rather lie in a similar situation.
