Psychologists say that a person tells a lie or evades the truth 10 to 200 times a day. Cheating is not the business of their pleasant ones. To stop doing this, you need to understand the reasons that lead to lying.
Instructions
Step 1
The most common reason for lying is fear. Fear of punishment for committed actions makes a person keep silent about certain actions. Most often children and adolescents suffer from this when they have a firm conviction that they will definitely be punished for their misconduct. But adults also often sin with this. To stop lying, give yourself a directive that the truth will be revealed one way or another, and then you will have to bear double punishment. Try to avoid this, it is better to immediately admit your mistakes.
Step 2
The fear of being a person without special merits forces him to come up with non-existent talents and feats, to appropriate certain qualities for himself. This is especially common during adolescence. Thus, a person tries to attract attention to himself, fearing that his real qualities do not arouse interest in the surrounding society. As a result, this can lead to the fact that a person forgets who and what he said. To avoid getting screwed up, get rid of this habit. Find virtues in yourself that really exist and give you self-confidence. Surely you have them, you just do not notice them. Have the courage to admit to people that you came up with everything. Wrap it up in a joke and laugh at yourself heartily.
Step 3
Look at the liars around you and ask: Do you want to be constantly deceived? Do you like the behavior of the deceiver, what are your prospects? Or do you still want a sincere attitude towards yourself? Then you must understand and accept the simple truth. Treat people the way you want them to treat you. And use your habit of fantasizing for good purposes - write stories and fairy tales. Maybe you will make a good science fiction writer.
