Art of Lying


Lying is an art. It's something that shouldn't be under estimated, because it requires a specific sort of talent and certain skills. Whether it's just a little white lie, or something that deceives someone blindly, everybody cannot lie successfully. Lieing means telling somebody a story with such a straight face and confidence, that the person doesn't even get the slightest idea that it might be untrue and has no notion except to believe it.
Lieing requires you to be quick-witted, and to think up of other lies to cover your original lie with a snap. To be quick on your finger tips, without any hesitation means you already have thought of any problems coming your way when the lie is told. All this pre-planning and thinking is not easy, and definitely not for everyone. That's why usually we catch people when they lie, or we suspect them.
The basic key to lieing is to be confident, and not even let a whisper of worry on your face. Any physical signs will give you away, such as fidgeting with your clothes, or scratching. Looking the person in the eye is highly important. Looking away is a sign of embarrassment or untruth. Or just plain suspicion.
Spouting off lies might seem easy, but keeping track of them ain't at all. The easiest trap to fall into while lying around is to tell people different stories. Never do that. Keep it same, and remember it. The next time you're told to repeat it, and you tell a slightly different version, you're caught. And your lying career is done for good, and down the drain.
Also, don't tell your fantasy lies to everyone. It just makes it even more suspicious. Tell them to few selected people, whom you know for sure are bound to spread it around and might exaggerate it a bit too. When it comes back around to you, you have the opportunity to correct the person and tell the 'real true' version of how it went down.
Be subtle about your adventures; don't be over-excited. Some people don't believe it if it's too far-fetched. Try keeping it real, and possible. Telling a lie about how you were visited by a dragon ain't gonna get you nowhere, dude.
