How To Prevent Liars From Lying

The only way to prevent liars from lying is to know the truth before hand. But not all of us know the truth.  Consider what the person is saying and think about the facts you already have. For example, Manti Te'o fooled journalist to the point that they didn't know what was a hoax and what was not. Supposedly, Manti Te'o's girlfriend and grandmother died. The existence of his girlfriend is doubted.

Now, to prevent such things from happening to you, you should investigate more before publishing a story on the matter. There are three types of liars: compulsive liars, sociopaths and chronic liars. A compulsive liar lies for the fun of it. He or she doesn't care whether he/she will gain something from it. A sociopath lies to gain something. He or she does care about what effect his/her words have over people around. Chronic liars are usually people with Antisocial Personality Disorder and Munchhausen's Disorder. Narcissists also have a tendency to lie all the time. 

Pathological liars KNOW that they are lying. They are aware of it, but once they say the lie they believe it is true. When a liar is lying, physical movement is limited. Liars try not to make eye contact and they are not comfortable with pauses in the conversation. 

Well, that's all we can tell you, folks! Do you believe us...? We may have been lying but you can't tell because you can't see us... :)
