What makes people such liars?

Well, i may not know everything. but i do know one thing: the reason we lie is very simple. I don't know if you believe in God, but here goes. Satan came into this world, and told the first lie in the history of the Earth. And now, Satan is controlling the world. I am not saying that he is controlling the people who are in charge, but he IS in control of alot of things that are happening. Very soon, Jesus will come again. When that time comes will you guys be ready?\nBTW, if you want to know more about other ?s, check out my myspace. Just search for Adam Zerbee, and invite me for a friend.

because they're gullible.

You can tell if a person is lying when they hesitate in revealing certain information, they avoid eye contact and they shuffle their feet (if standing). Avoiding eye contact is one way a person lies, as people feel uncomfortable in lying to another person and as such, will try his best to avoid eye contact at all times...\n\nThey will also try to do anything else but focus on the conversation at hand...

That is a very good question, why do people choose to believe in lies, maybe it's because the person next to them believes in it and that would make them followers, or maybe they don't believe in it but are afraid to let other people know because they are cowards, i wish someone intelligent would answer this intelligent Q.

There is a reason why you are asked in court to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It is because most of the time that is not what people do. Everyone lies sometime. There are many reasons to lie. Sometimes it is to not hurt someone's feelings. Sometimes a lie is for our own advantage. Some people lie in conducting business and in their personal lives. Most adults are aware of when they lie.\n\nA pathological liar believes in the lies, at least at the time that she or he is talking. Their stories tend to be very dramatic. They often portray the person as being smarter, braver, more attractive, or more interesting than she or he really is. Sometimes people begin to catch onto pathological liars because of obvious flaws in the stories.\n\nPsychological Motives for Deception\nNo one is forced to lie; it is a conscious decision. Most of the time people lie because of shame, embarrassment, and punisment.\n\nIn my opinion i dont get why people do, i hate it and it will get you no where.

there is no sure-fire way to tell.  some clues if you're with the person: they won't look you in the eye when they speak to you.  long drawn-out sentences.  confused inconsistent stories.  trust your intuition and judgement, if you think someone is lying, there is a reason for that.

Because they are very charismatic and predatory. People like him are obviously fake to me, however, some people are so gullible, they'll believe anything. Especially if the one misguiding them is very confident and a good liar.

There are a variety of elements that come into play....\n\n- The skill of the individual trying to see if the other person is lying.\n\n- How practiced and skilled the individual is who is at lying.\n\n- How well they know each other.\n\n- The state of mind of the reader in that moment (i.e. how focused they are, the presence of mind-altering substances, etc.)\n\n\nKeep in mind that it's not only body language, there are tons of other subtle cues that the reader may or may not even pick up on a conscious level. This often plays out in a "gut feeling" the person is lying though the reader is unable to point to any external evidence.

it's a matter of gaining the trust of the person. once you have that trust then the other person is more willing and pliable. not to mention some people are just that guillible or naive.

Immanuel Kant (a famous philosopher) said it is crucial to be honest because lying is the worst thing a person can do. This is because our society is built on trust.  All the time we trust people not to do curtain things (like blow-up the place you are in).  If you lie, you break down the trust that keep society together and if people lie to much, society will crumble to nothing.  For me sometimes you have to lie, but most time it is good to be honest.

People really dont have to lie. Infact, people choose to lie. According to God everyone is a sinner. Although everyone is a sinner that does not give them the simple right to lie continuously.

i guess it's because most people don't dig your way of\nthinking. and if i were you, i'd just ignore them.\nso what if they call you a liar? you know in your heart\nthat you're not. and this is the net, come on! this may be\nthe real world but you have a choice not to make it your\nworld. don't indulge too much. and they're right, CHILL!

People lie to build self-confidence in my opinion.  Reprecussions of being untruthful is people get hurt and you have to tell more lies to cover the first lie.  You always get caught!!

Certain things happen when folks lie. It is hard to make eye contact so you may want to try forcing that. Most people will give more details to a lie than when they are telling the truth. \nBut can you handle the truth?
