History knows many cases when scammers successfully deceived honest people, remember at least financial pyramid schemes. And traditionally, lying was considered socially unacceptable. However, modern scientists have come to a different opinion: everyone lies, and there is nothing wrong with that. Psychologists have identified 4 types of lies and explained in which case a deliberate distortion of the truth is dangerous for a relationship, and when it can be put up with.

website carefully studied a lot of research and found out why crystal-clearly honest people do not exist in the world.

There's nothing tragic about lying

The character of the famous series Dr. House repeated: "Everyone lies" and he was right. Once psychologists conducted a large-scale study and found out that each of us lies at least 1-2 times a day. In most cases, these lies are harmless and do no harm to anyone.

The fact that all people are liars should not surprise you. The ability to tell a lie came to us thanks to evolution and helped our ancestors survive in difficult conditions. Lying is the ability to manipulate others without the use of physical force. Since ancient times, it has given mankind the opportunity to fight for the best resources, partners and power, of course.

The first untruth breaks from our lips at the age of 4-5. It is at this age that children learn to lie. But neuroscientists say lying is an important social skill. It develops the ability to recognize the rules of behavior in society, develops fantasy and even teaches empathy (through the ability to put oneself in the place of another person).

So lying is a common part of our life, including family life. However, there are different types of lies, and in order to save your nerves, it is important to learn to separate dangerous lies from harmless ones. Here are 4 reasons why we hear lies even from the closest people.

1. Desire to meet the expectations of a partner

This is the most harmless type of lie that we use almost every day. If you think you are crystal clear with others, then remember how many times you said “you look great” when you didn’t think so at all. Psychologists call such lies good-hearted.

Probably, each of us has a close friend or relative who loves to be in the spotlight. However, it is difficult to have reasons to be interesting for everyone. And this is where lies come in. Such people come up with stories to attract the attention of a partner or friend. This type includes both those who embellish their lives and complainers of all stripes.

Generally speaking, such a lie is harmless to others: well, a person comes up with non-existent events, and so what? Only lying and embellishing one's life means that a person is dissatisfied with himself. He lacks the courage to face reality and take life into his own hands.

3. Pursuit of selfish goals

This type of lie is based on self-interest. A person who tells a lie is trying to achieve a very definite benefit for himself. This is the real "big lie" for your own good. It includes an attempt to hide treason or financial fraud with a common account.

Psychologists note that the closer people are to each other, the more likely it is that the lie will be global. For example, we don’t need to especially lie to an unfamiliar person, but relatives often lie to each other in a big way.

Sophisticated liars are concerned about the impression they make on others. These are charming extroverts who you want to believe.

However, psychologists know for sure who almost never lies, even to benefit themselves. These are depressed people. When in their darkest mood, they evaluate themselves and those around them with ruthless honesty. True, some doctors argue that deadly honesty is unhealthy - sometimes a little self-deception can save you from the blues.
