Telling the truth is not always profitable, so many people are ready to learn techniques that allow them to fool their interlocutor.

Becoming a professional liar is not as easy as it seems. You will have to put in a lot of effort to master the art of deception.

When a person is mistaken, everyone can notice it; when he is lying, not everyone will notice.
Goethe Johann

1. Find a good reason to lie.

The secret of successful lies is quite simple: you should lie as little as possible, when you feel an urgent need to do so.

An experienced liar keeps his weapon secret and uses it in exceptional cases when he understands that the moment has come when he can use deception for gain.

Remember that the reputation of a respectable person is the very treasure that makes it possible to tell lies with almost impunity.

2. The legend should be thought out in advance

Agree, it’s quite difficult to come up with a tall tale on the fly when all eyes are on you.

There is another method to lay a solid foundation of lies: look for accomplices. So, for example, a friend who will confirm that you sat at work until the end while the director is on a business trip, that you are waiting for your aunt who wants to come to your house and pick up your underwear left in the bathroom.

3. Use the truth

The hardest thing to identify is a lie that cannot be distinguished from the truth. By and large, you are telling the truth, but your opponent is sure of the opposite. This is a method of partially concealing any information.

In some cases, the direct attack method works. Ostensibly joking, you talk about what they are trying to convict you of. So, for example, when asked by your girlfriend where you were for so long after work, answer her that you were just in the bathhouse with her best friends. It has been found that the most convincing liars are those who can anticipate any questions.


WikiHelp:
(delicate lie, lie of “good taste”) - a lie that, in the opinion of the speaker, will provide the listener with significant relief, and if its falsity is revealed, will bring only slight inconvenience. White lies are usually told so as not to offend or upset anyone; for example, a not very attractive girl is told that she is “very good.”

4. Use more details


Having details ensures that you will be more trusted. So, for example, the interlocutor may not believe that you were stuck in an elevator for 1.5 hours, so he did not come to the meeting. But why does he tell in this case that the mechanic he called was humming a specific song?

5. Don't be afraid to slander yourself

Novice liars, as a rule, justify themselves with hackneyed and ridiculous lies about an employee getting sick or about his bus being involved in an accident.

People cannot stand such excuses. It is quite difficult to trust someone who is trying to seem more selfless than you. Thus, when you need to lie, the lie should make you look less favorable to you.

6. You need to lie smoothly

Telling a lie is actually not that easy. You need to have an excellent memory, logical thinking and be a professional storyteller. As a rule, liars are caught in small things. Follow the chain of your lies and do not lose the thread of the conversation.

7. Control yourself

It has been noticed that deceivers stutter, rub their noses, and do not make eye contact. However, experienced liars have complete control of themselves and their emotions. Let us also note that the level of trust in the interlocutor depends not so much on the information they hear, but on the persuasiveness of how they present it.

8. Attack when you are caught in a lie.

So, for years you have been deceiving a person. And suddenly he has in his hands irrefutable evidence of your lies. What to do in such situations? There's nothing much left to lose. All you need is to gain a little time in order to think through new tactics of behavior.

Go on the offensive. Let's say your girlfriend found correspondence on social networks with representatives of the opposite sex. Of course, she will demand an explanation.

Do not under any circumstances confess your sins. On the contrary, accuse her of not having the right to read your correspondence and that she doesn’t care about you at all. Try to turn the conversation in a different direction in order to deprive the interlocutor of peace of mind and confidence in his rightness.
