Sadje is our host and this week her question is
Can you tell when you’re being lied to?

Can you tell immediately if someone is lying to you, or trying to con you? If so, how do you respond? Have you ever been conned online?

😊

Well this topic is close to my heart.

I have not always been good at spotting liars or when I am being lied to. However, I am slowly becoming better at it.

I hate liars with a passion. If there is one thing that I cant stand it is lying. Don’t lie to me. I won’t stay in a friendship which is built on lies.

To me a person who is a compulsive liar, that is something wrong with them, as an abuse survivor I’ve met a fare few liars in my time, they’ve promised me the world, only to then get caught out in their own lies.

I have no time for those sort of people, I hate drama and I hate lies, so if you have a compulsion to lie stay far away from me.

I’ve never been conned online, thank god. I like to think that I am smart, and that I can detect scammers before they strike, and conn me out of money.

    It’s true that, if we pay attention to consistency and pattern, all but the best at it usually give themselves away pretty quickly 👌

    Agreed. I hate liars. However people lie for a lot of reasons. They intend things that never happen, they wish to hide parts of themself, they don’t want to share information but don’t want to be mean, or even made a mistake and thought it was the truth. I try to remember that when I catch a friend in a lie.

      Yes, I guess so. You are right. People live for all sorts of reasons. 😇

    I am same as you, I hate liars and I will be soon gone if someone can’t be honest.
    I have not been scammed and an email once received years ago that came across too good to be true was trashed and another email I did nor know but kept getting was never opened and in the end put a block on it.

    Thanks for sharing Carol. Liars are really very undesirable people and who damage our faith in humanity.
