The reading below neatly summarizes these and provides some examples. These three types of lies are well-known, and there are many readings that illustrate them. This one from Vanessa Van Edwards is clear and offers a number of examples. I suggest going through the examples she provides to test your understanding. The fact that someone interprets matters in a way that reflects well upon them, a way that allows them to engage in actions they finds desirable, does not mean that they are necessarily lying rather than misinterpreting.
I would not consider such an occurrence necessarily an instance of self-deception. Not every misunderstanding or misinterpretation is self-deception. Misinterpreting is not the only route by which someone may believe his or her false account is true.
A person initially may know he is lying, but over time he may come to believe in his lie. Once he has come to believe his lie is a faithful account of what transpired, he may appear truthful..
Overtime one may come to believe their false story is true. Published by sintellyapp. Jan 31, Published in. Types of Lies Being familiar with the different types of lies will help you recognize a problem right away: 1.
Bold-Faced Lie With a bold-faced lie, a person tells something that others know to be a lie. Broken Promises A broken promise is failing to keep a spoken promise or commitment. Lie of Fabrication This type of lie is telling other people things that you are not sure to be true.
Lies of Deception Deceivers try to create an impression that can mislead other people by creating a false impression or not telling all facts. Lying in Exaggeration When you exaggerate, you enhance the truth by sprinkling it with some lies. Plagiarism Plagiarism is an act of lying and stealing at the same time. White Lies White lies are sometimes considered the least serious out of all lies.
Types of Liars After knowing the different types of lies, it is time to be familiar with the different types of liars out there: 1. Compulsive Liars These people lie when there is no need for them to even if it makes more sense to tell the truth than to lie.
Frequent Liars Frequent liars go about their lives lying in every step of the way. Occasional Liars An occasional liar seldom lies. Smooth Liars Smooth liars are exactly how their description sounds.

More White Lies in Daily Interactions These white lies are all pretty harmless, and they are told in order to spare the feelings of someone that you care about or want to avoid offending.
