Lying can be said to be

The most basic phenomena in nature

As far back as the early days of feudal civilization

People strive for better survival and reproduction.

I've already learned to lie

Modern social psychology believes that

Lying is a human self-protection mechanism

People lie

Or to take care of others

Telling white lies

Or to pursue their own interests

This is actually a conclusion reached through research.

British research firm OnePoll investigates the issue of lying.

A survey of 3,000 adults found

Men are more likely to lie than women

It has to be said

A man who's three-tenths drunk can indeed act until your heart breaks.


When a boy says this

They might actually be...

Why are men more likely to lie?

1. Influence of family of origin

Generally speaking

Children whose needs are not met in childhood are more likely to lie.

Because they need to lie to get what they want.


Compared to girls

Boys have less self-control when they are young.

More easily influenced by the people and things around them

2. To increase attractiveness

They want to participate in "impression management".

So that others can perceive them in the best way

3. Material desires

These lies are often motivated by self-interest.

To leave a lasting impression

Fabricated to enhance one's reputation


Whether in terms of status or more tangible gains

Or perhaps it's the goddess's favor.

4. Avoid conflict

If lying can bring

More benefits than interpersonal relationships

So in their view, it's worth doing.

When a person is lying

Behavior and facial expressions will change.

We can observe these changes

To determine if the other party is lying


·sound

People become tense when they lie.

Breathing rhythm will also become rapid.

You can observe the other person's facial expressions.

Or speaking speed and voice

Compare and judge with usual.


Of course, this situation cannot be ruled out.

Eyes

Generally when lying

Liars' eyes tend to wander.

I don't dare to look the other person in the eye

• Hand movement changes

liar

There are often unconscious hand gestures.

Because they want to use this to

To alleviate guilt and cover up lies

for example

• Shoulder shrug

People tend to shrug their shoulders when they lie.

Shrugging expresses not knowing, not sure, etc.

Body movements in uncertain situations


To make my words more authoritative

They often raise their chins.

Appears more confident and more convincing

Of course, if the male compatriots

There are things I really can't tell others.

There are methods too.


How to tell the perfect lie

First, choose the perfect time to lie.

Secondly, you can hug the other person when you lie.

Third, to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself.

People who lie frequently will have dulled and numb brains.

A study by the University of London found

As the frequency of lying increases

The amygdala's sensitivity to it will gradually decrease.

The brain becomes dull and numb

Leading to mental illness – “Lying disorder”

Lying disorder is a psychological obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The patient is completely unable to control his lying behavior.

As long as they don't lie

I feel really bad.

It can lead to mental illness, and in severe cases, mental disorder.


Finally, I'd like to share a quote that I like with you:

Don't deceive others.

Because the people you can fool,

They are all people who believe in you.
