DISTINCT TRUTH FROM LIES
The Internet is replete with works about how to distinguish truth from lies by eye movements, a lengthening nose and other mimic joys. I also decided to throw my five kopecks into the solution of this issue. There is such an expression: beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I don’t know anything about beauty, but here’s a lie, exactly in the ears of the one who listens and believes. The problem is not that they skillfully lie to us, but that we readily believe in these streams of lies, "I myself am glad to be deceived" and that's all … I have already written many times that our brain has been forged by evolution into a very energy-efficient organ … Truth can force us to act, which of course is completely not to the taste of our lazy head. Therefore, we are ready to believe in any nonsense, from sovereign democracy to "she did not cheat on me" with all the stops alphabetically, just to do nothing. My first thesis is primitively simple - we are readily deceived if a lie helps us to do nothing and maintain our favorite status quo.
The second point is not more difficult than the first - however, as you know, it hurts your eyes. Suppose I tell you that humans have 6 arms and 5 legs. The maximum that I can count on in response is that you twirl your finger at your temple, the obvious lie does not cause emotions. The statement that people have 2 arms and 2 legs is also unlikely to cause a strong emotional reaction of the interlocutor, we also do not care about the obvious truth. It is quite another matter if the truth is unacceptable for us … Suppose there is a man whose wife is cheating on him. The head of such a person, as a rule, guesses about betrayal, but the energy-saving brain prefers not to notice such things, since they will have to react to them, spending precious strength, time and energy. And so I declare to him the truth from the series "I can not be silent", they say, your spouse is your walking woman. What's going to happen? That's right, I will get a new enemy, and the one to whom I say this will have a flurry of negative emotions. Something similar happens during dream analysis. If the head "dreamed" a dream that caused negative emotions, then, in my opinion, it is quite obvious that the brain through such a dream reacted something completely unacceptable and unpleasant. Accordingly, the interpretation should also evoke emotions with a minus sign in a person. If he shrugs his shoulders in response to your interpretation, yawning sluggishly, then a dear comrade has made a mistake, we continue our analytical searches.
There are several conclusions from this. First, we are deceived, not because the liar is skillful, but because we want to believe in something that keeps our life in balance. Secondly, trying to catch a liar by facial movements is useless, not only because it does not work, but also because we will catch him with a brain that just wants to be deceived. Third, the truth that we do not want to be aware always (!) Evokes deeply negative emotions. These very emotions are the lie detector built into our head.
And finally, fourthly, if you are going to deceive someone, you need to lie about something that will help reduce tension in your head and preserve biological energy, that is, it will allow you to continue to sit on the sofa without doing anything. Are you still lonely? You do not need to waste time and money on proper nutrition, cosmetologists, psychotherapists, you do not need to force yourself to go on dates and develop new communication skills. The problem is found, the evil eye, damage and the crown of celibacy are on you. Just pay a kind witch a thousand rubles, and she will solve all your problems by presenting a miraculous hat made of magic foil. Here is the simplest example of a primitive, fraudulent lie that we regularly encounter in our daily lives.
Oh, yes, one more moment, as the unforgettable comrade House said, everybody lies … If a lie allows you to reduce tension, a person will most likely make a deal with his conscience and lie. So, the problem is not that they lie to us, but that our heads are used to being deceived. If we stop avoiding negative emotions, we train the brain to meet problems, regularly doing what we don’t want, then it will become much more difficult to deceive us. It is not necessary to assume that bad people lie, everyone lies, and from the point of view of evolution, a lie is quite a profitable strategy, provided that it is not the only one in our arsenal of skills and tools …

Lies That Lead To Truth
Everybody lies. And most of all lie those who say that they never lie, are never late, never took anything from someone else . It is difficult to find a person who has not enjoyed the advantages of deception, but we sincerely wish to see people who are sincere and decent next to us.

Those who know what it is - the silence of the therapist in the office - surely have ideas why this is so.
