Almost everyone has ever lied or been lied to. But
if the habit of lying is difficult to stop, or has become part of a
person's personality traits, then often lying is one characteristic of
psychological disorders.
There are various reasons for someone to lie, from avoiding feeling bad, feeling more valued, or making others feel awe. There are also types of lying that are often referred to as white lies. In general, all types of lies have bad consequences.
Medically, there are several things that are thought to play a role in causing why someone becomes often lying, such as abnormalities in the brain due to physical injury or congenital abnormalities. Psychologically, often lying can be a marker of mental disorders, such as personality disorders and obsessive disorders.
Signs of People LyingExperts believe, someone who lies can be recognized through expression on an unconscious face. The expression is moved by the muscles around the eyebrows, forehead and lips. When lying is emotional, the signs will become clearer.
The study then compared the expression on the face between the person who was lying and who said the truth.
When telling the truth, more muscle contractions around the eyes and mouth. Meanwhile, liars appear to experience more muscle contractions around the forehead and cheeks. A forehead that looks clearly wrinkled when someone speaks, is one sign of his honesty being questioned.
Even so, there are some faces that look innocent. This face can just outwit other people who suspect that they always say honestly, even though it really isn't.
These innocent faces generally look symmetrical between the right and left sides, look attractive with large eyes, have smooth skin and wide forehead that matches the shape of the chin, or are often categorized as having a baby face or baby face.
Because of the difficulty of knowing whether someone is honest or lying, there are now several types of psychological tests that can be used as determinants of whether a person has a tendency to lie or speak honestly.
Often Lying Can Disturb HealthApparently lying not only has a social impact, but also affects health conditions. Researchers connect, lying habits can increase the risk of anxiety disorders, depression, gambling addiction, and also the risk of cancer and obesity. In addition, lying can also reduce the quality of interpersonal relationships and job satisfaction.
How did that happen? This is due to increased stress on someone when lying. There is an emotional and physical burden felt by a liar. Moreover, lying often must be followed by the next lie.
Another study confirmed this. It was stated that someone who tried to be honest, had a better relationship and had fewer health problems. Apparently, improvements in relationships can improve health conditions.
Also be careful lying if you have children, because a researcher believes, children learn this from their parents. When a child hears a parent lying, he will consider it permissible. Beware if lying becomes a dangerous habit.
Honesty isn't always fun, but saying or hearing lies is even more painful. Reveal the truth while working on a way out. As much as possible avoid telling lies for health conditions and better social relations.
If you or someone you know has a tendency to lie and is difficult to stop, then it is advisable to see a psychiatrist or psychologist to explore further the reasons for the habit. The possibility of this is a sign of a mental disorder.
