How To Be A Successful Liar. by phlio(m): 2:01am On Mar 29, 2015
#1 Have a reason. "Prisons are filled with bad
liars. "The good liars are
out running HMOs." So what's the big
difference?
lie as little as possible - only when you actually
have something to gain. "Pathological liars can't
stop themselves from lying, so they tell a lot of
little lies and wind up getting caught,
Truly expert fabricators, on the other hand,
save their ammunition - they don't bother to lie
unless it's going to get you something you
really want.

#2 Lay your groundwork . Don't wait until you're
under the interrogation lamp to start putting
your story together. liars who
had worked out the details of their stories
beforehand had significantly more success than
those who hadn't. As in everything, practice
makes perfect. "It's easier to catch someone in
a lie the first time they tell it," says


#3 Tell the truth, misleadingly. The hardest lies
to catch are those which aren't actually lies.
You're telling the truth, but in a way that
leaves a false impression. Technically, it's only a
prevarication - about half a sin.

#4 Know your target . Good liars have the same
gift as good communicators: the ability to get
inside the listener's head. Empathy not only
clues you in to what your subject wants to hear,
it will help you avoid stepping onto trip wires
that will trigger their suspicions. "To make a
credible lie, you need to take into account the
perspective of your target Know what they
know. Be aware of their interests and activities
so you can cover your tracks."

#5 Keep your facts straight . "One of the
problems of successful lying is that it's hard
work," You have
to be very consistent in doing it." That means
nailing down the details. Write down notes if you
have to. "One of the things that trips people up
is that they give different information to
different people, who then start talking about it
and comparing notes,

#6 Stay focused. "When I'm trying to catch a
liar, I watch to see how committed they are to
what they're telling meIf I
accuse someone of lying, and they're not very
committed to the statement they just made, a
red flag goes up." One of the reasons most
people make bad liars is that they find lying a
deeply unpleasant activity. Fear and guilt are
evident in their facial expressions. They want to
get the process over as quickly as possible, so
they show relief when their interrogator
changes the topic. That's a dead giveaway.
Really good liars, on the other hand, actually
enjoy the process of deceiving other people.
"The best liars don't show any shame or remorse
because they don't feel it They
get a thrill out of actively misleading others.
They're good at it, and they enjoy the
challenge."

#7: Watch your signals . It's folk wisdom that
people fidget, touch their noses, stutter, and
break eye contact when you lie

#8: Turn up the pressure . If your target has
clearly become suspicious then use you emotions and touch to sway him away ."

#9: Counterattack. The fact is, just as most of
us are uncomfortable telling lies, most are
uncomfortable accusing others. This discomfort
can be used in the liar's favor. "You'll often see
politicians respond to accusations with
aggression,"

You can't get away with a lie.
The truth will surely come out.

So, I don't know how someone can be successful in lying.

Is it a job? Does it pay bills?
