We all know, lying is a bad behavior but there is the fact that lying lies in every society, in every corner of life. According to a recent statistic of American psychologists, we lie about 10 times a week on average.

Many experts ask the question, is it true that lying on a regular basis becomes a pathology?

Dr. Paul Seager - a senior psychologist said: 'In order for society, life can become better, to some extent we can lie'.

For example, stand in front of a work of art that you don't really understand, instead of saying the point that you don't like it - you can say that it's beautiful. This is a healthy lie.

However, Dr. Seager forgot the signs that someone was lying. It can be an act of unconsciously covering your mouth, rubbing your nose, sweating, avoiding looking directly into your eyes . So if you really pay attention, you can find out who your opposite is. how real.

But if the lies that appear more often will be symptoms of a pathological condition.

Dr. Cosmo Hallstrom, a doctor of psychiatry, said that restless lying can be a sign of personality disorders.

He said: 'Most people with personality disorders are always in a fantasy world and do not tell the truth. They do wrong things but do not feel remorse for their conscience. These people often focus on short-term interests, satisfying immediate interests, impulsive without thinking about the consequences'.

Experts say that lying is a pathology. Accordingly, some liars constantly exaggerate their importance to others, who consider themselves the focus of attention and desire to be praised by people around them. This is a syndrome called Munchausen .

It is hard to determine how many people lie around us, it could be friends, colleagues . However, people are tempted to lie at the present time to minimize the situation. difficult or make me happier.

Most liars try to convince themselves that what just said will not harm people around but if you keep distorting the truth, your perception of reality will also be misleading.
