Document Summary
Deception of self: telling yourself that you are okay even though you aren"t. * we block out memories or events and try not to think about it, not necessarily healthy. * we spend a lot of time thinking through about how we feel, and persuading ourselves into thinking that we are doing better in order to actually start doing better. Humans are lied to as many as 200 times per day. Humans can detect lies with just 54% accuracy. Barefaced lies ( did you actually just say that?"): sometimes people tell lies that are absurd and that we fully know are a lie. Lies of omission: sometimes we just leave out certain pieces of information. *kind hearted lies: oh no you look great in that dress" vs. self-serving lies: when we lie to put ourselves in a better situation. *avoiding eye contact is not a sure sign of lying. No one really thinks about how they are conveying their emotions.
