"Never lie to someone who trusts you and never trust to someone who lies to you" -Anonymous

Have you ever lied to someone? or Have you ever trusted someone who lies to you?

As for me? Yes. I experienced to lie. I mean, no one in this world is perfect. But if you think you're perfect, then good for you!. I also experienced being lied with someone I trusted the most. It hurts? maybe, but I'm still thankful because if they didn't do it, I'll probably trust them up until now.But as time passed by, I became more aware of how to filter lies and facts.

"Lies and liars are words that no one wants to deal with. Unfortunately, there are many liars in this world just as how there are also various types of lies. "

TYPES OF LIES

Bold-Faced Lie 

With a bold-faced lie, a person tells something that others know to be a lie. This is like telling a kid that chocolate is bad when you are eating one yourself. Another is when you tell your sister who lose her tooth to keep it because the tooth fairy will get it when she's asleep. You know that tooth fairies doesn't exist but you still let your little sister to believe in that lie.

Broken Promises 

I don't believe in the saying that "Promises are meant to be broken". It's because if you give promises, you have to become responsible and accountable with it. If you can't, then it's better if you keep your mouth shut and refrain from giving promises. It's like you're making a promise to your partner but you still break it in the end. That's the reason why I won't say " I promise" but I prefer to say " I'll try as long as I can". Trying is much better than giving false hopes.

Lie of Fabrication & Lies of Deception 

These type of lies is common to the world of politics. Many candidates for a specific positions were throwing accusations to anybody just to lift up their own chair without having the strong evidences. These lies can be very damaging if they end up ruining a person’s reputation because of rumors. Hate and envy also trigger this lie. They will make false accusations, they will make false evidences but in the end, they we're also the ones who suffered from their own actions. Deceivers try to create an impression that can mislead other people by creating a false impression or not telling all facts. These persons are good in spreading hate rumors to cover their own mess. I THINK YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE!!! SO, VOTE WISELY!

Lying in Exaggeration

This is for all the Marites out there!! There are some people who will make their own version of stories regardless if it's truth or untruth just to impress others.

Plagiarism

This is most common in school. Plagiarism is an act of lying and stealing at the same time. This involves copying the work of someone else and claiming it to be your own. I've experienced this one last semester. I let my classmate/friend from other group to see our output because I trusted her that she will not copy our answer. But she still copied it. My strict professor got angry that's why I was also given 0 points from that incident since I was the one who shared the answers. Well, Lesson learned.

White Lies

White lies are sometimes considered the least serious out of all lies. Sadly, many little white lies can lead to conflict as those people who tell them can appear less credible. An example is by telling your friend that you like their new haircut, when you really don't. Another one is by congratulating your friend who got high scores in the exams even if you know that she/he cheated. Sometimes it is better to tell a white lie than to hurt someone's feelings. 

TYPES OF LIARS

Compulsive Liars

These are those individuals who are addicted to lying and is simply hard to stop them. We must avoid these types of people. They don't deserve our trust and attention!

Frequent Liars

Lying is ingrained in the lives of frequent liars. These people don't even bother to try to hide their traces or make sure their lies are coherent. They were careless with their lies. I met a lot of people who are like this. This is the reason why I don't believe to the person who frequently lied to me.

Occasional Liars 

An occasional liar seldom lies. However, once they do, they feel guilty for their actions. These people are those who ask for forgiveness right away from the person they lied to. I think I belong to this type of liar. Hahah. When I lied to someone, I prefer to tell the truth right away. It's because of my conscience. I don't wanted to keep the lie within myself because my conscience will definitely kill me!

Smooth Liars 

Smooth liars sound just like they are. These are the individuals who have mastered the art of deception. Most of the time, you can't tell they're lying because they're so excellent.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

While there are falsehoods and liars all around you, that doesn't mean you have to fall prey to their predatory actions and habits. To stay out of trouble, keep these different types of lies and liars in mind.

HOW ABOUT YOU? WHAT TYPE OF LIES HAVE YOU ALREADY COMMITTED? WHAT TYPE OF LIAR ARE YOU?
