Lying and decieving- How it messes up your mind?

How goes lying and decieving you mess with your Mind.
If you suspect someone close to you is lying to you how would it affect you?
You tell me

 

It can fuck you over completely, especially when you very good at telling if somebody is lying to you. Its happened to me so many times and lead to my suffering from depression, I have finally gotten out of it by becoming more independant, realising that the only person you can trust is yourself... plus that anyone who lies to you for their own benefit and prefurs to see their "bestfriend" in constant pain then you have their reputation altered for the worst really is the most pathetic person in the world!

 

I know when people are lying.. it's really easy to tell.. Of course, it only works in person. Usually when people are lying they look to the left inadvertently, touching their faces/ears, hair, their voice tone usually changes.. I don't know, it's pretty easy to tell, especially when you know someone pretty well.

 

you cant even trust yourself,people lie to themselves all the time,the point is that you usually cannot tell when you decieve or lie to yourself,and it might be just because of ignorance
the only thing you have to trust is that worrying about something only makes things worse,just let go and let happen whatever may happen,and maybe your better judgements will shine through

usually someone who lies to others has alot of "inner labyrinths" as well,prolly pretty confused,angry/frightened/empty in there
lying and hiding truths and feelings keeps you emotionally undeveloped,you will remain immature in nature for the rest of your life

 

I agree with the comments so far. Body language is a good way to tell, the eyes say alot, and it is easier face to face, but what if it a so call mate on the net, someone you are close to and confide in, some one you have known for quite some time. how would you tell then? All coments welcome

 

I think its impossible to distinguish truth from lies on the net... there is no body language to read.. people can be whoever or whatever they want to be on here....

that said...just as in real life relationships people are multi faceted... and we bounce off other peoples personalities and react differently to different people and situations so our basic nature is as it would be normaly...

Its a toughie...but i just cant see how you can tell....

 

oh...and its not always possible to be accurate about body language either.... my ex studied psychology for many years and he was a master at lying.... his 'trick' was to believe his own lies and he was amazing at it...i'm positive even a lie detector couldnt tell..... its how conmen are so good at what they do....they know all the body language to avoid....

as for lying and deciept affecting us...i get angry with myself for being sucked in....and if its life changing it hurts like hell.... but people often lie...and i no longer beat myself up about it...i have a defence mechanism now.... never trust anyone....

I also agree that we lie to ourselves to a degree... ask a group of people to recount a shared event and the stories will differ slightly...each person putting their own perspective on the event in question....

 

I agree it is virtually impossible to tell on the net. so I think you have to trust people or keep them at arms lenght. sad it should be that way but thats life i guess
