Psychologists believe that people lie to others unconsciously, sometimes without even thinking about it or even admitting that they are lying. The more people try to hide their inner feelings when lying, the more they will be exposed due to changes in various body movements. Psychologists from Belgium, Canada, Germany, the United States and the Netherlands conducted statistics on thousands of people who had lied within 24 hours. 27.52% of people said that they had told one or two lies. On average, Everyone tells 2.2 lies a day. According to statistics, about half of people tell more than five lies every day, and there are almost no people who don’t lie. Psychologists analyze that there are three main reasons why people like to lie. 1. Cover up mistakes. Because of fear of suffering, evading responsibility, and avoiding others, people will use lies to cover up their mistakes. This is the most common reason for lying. “I didn’t break the water glass” “I didn’t eat candy secretly”… Almost every day, more or less, consciously or unconsciously, we deny and cover up some things we do that do not meet the expectations of others in order to protect ourselves from punishment and blame. . 2. Obtain benefits. The “interests” here mainly refer to external benefits such as fame, wealth, and image. Nearly 1/5 of people will lie to get financial benefits; some people say exaggerated things to improve their self-image, such as “I have always been the first in the exams since I was a child” and “I can make every project that cannot be carried out” “Resurrection from the dead’” and so on. 3. Influence others. Another common motivation for lying is to control others and get them to behave the way you want them to. Negative control is very similar to “threats”, such as “If you can’t complete the task today, I will fire you” “The boss said you must do this”; while positive control is “white lies”, such as “Mom is not hungry, you eat more” . Are you just lying to be polite, as most people do, or are you lying for profit? Can you lie? Give it a try.
