What would happen to our world if no one ever lied? If the truth just came out of our mouths?
Imagine this: all people suddenly stopped hiding their true faces behind masks and pretending to be who they are not.
And there would be no point in following social stereotypes and prejudices, etiquette and unspoken rules. Shocking alternative reality, isn't it?
Most likely, changes would also affect the answers to everyday questions. For example, they would become unexpected, rude, tactless or too frank.
Don't worry and don't think about the implementation of such a utopia. If it does happen, it will certainly not happen in the near future. Therefore, you will not hear caustic responses and remarks from your neighbors, acquaintances and colleagues.
However, this does not mean that you should relax completely. Your task is to learn to distinguish sincere interlocutors from impudent hypocrites. This way, you will maintain mental health and establish healthy relationships with pleasant and honest people. But most importantly, you will protect yourself from sycophants and liars!
It must be said that the fairer sex is more romantic, trusting and naive than men. In addition, they often confuse ironic and hypocritical statements with the truth.
If you learn to distinguish truth from lies, you will significantly reduce the number of possible mistakes, disappointments and problems. It is better to prevent trouble immediately than to spend a long time eliminating its consequences.
To avoid disaster, you should familiarize yourself with 6 interesting, but very hypocritical things. These are the phrases that many women hear when communicating with insincere interlocutors:
"You did it, I'm incredibly happy for you!"
Unfortunately, these words sometimes turn out to be absolutely false. It turns out that few people are sincerely happy about the success of others.
Want to tell a friend about your big win, upcoming wedding or a trip to a warm country in the middle of winter? Know: most likely, she will envy you, but will try to hide the toxic feeling behind fake joy and pleasant statements.
Of course, your relationship with this lady and her satisfaction with her own life are of no small importance.
Want to avoid the "poisonous arrows" of envious people from hitting you? Then tell them interesting details in portions. Remember that all people have different perceptions of information and different life experiences. These two factors, as a rule, are decisive in a conversation.
"You are so gorgeous and beautiful!"
All women dream that such an assessment would be truthful, not flattering. But often the opposite happens: a person brazenly flatters his vis-à-vis because it is advantageous for him. Almost every lady has heard one of these statements at the most inopportune moment (say, when she looked tired or had an unsuccessful hairstyle).
As a rule, these lying words are thrown around by barely familiar female friends. But sometimes even bosom friends stoop to such baseness.
Sometimes the interlocutor openly gloats. Sometimes she believably feigns sincerity: "With these 5 extra kilos you look like a candy! Your figure is amazing, something to look at. It's better than rattling bones."
"What a wonderful meeting! I saw you and immediately my mood was lifted."
This phrase, uttered by the interlocutor during a chance meeting, hides the opposite truth. It sounds something like this: "How unlucky I am. It would be better if you never caught my eye!"
You can tell from the facial expressions and gestures of your vis-à-vis whether she is really happy to see you or not. Perhaps it is just pretense, masking contempt and disrespect.
By the way, representatives of the stronger sex are often hypocritical too. These sly ones give their partners insincere compliments and praise their unsuccessful dishes.
There is only one difference here: men are hypocritical with the best of intentions and sometimes they themselves do not realize it. But women do it trying to appease a friend or achieve their goal. Such ladies are insidious and cunning creatures.
"I've never eaten anything tastier!"
This is a pure lie. As a rule, a person says these words so as not to upset the hostess. A friend may praise your cooking out of respect for your work and efforts.
This is great if you have a true culinary talent. But understand that not all culinary creations can come out perfectly even for professional chefs. Some dishes turn out to be excellent, others - more modest, and still others - completely unsuccessful.
A friend of mine constantly admires your dishes and says: “Your steak is cooked better than in a Michelin restaurant,” “Your pies remind me of my childhood in the village.
"My granny also made amazing, airy dough!"? Know that she is deceiving you. An honest interlocutor will certainly not praise everything that you put on the holiday table.
He might appreciate your signature salad, but criticize your overly sour pickles or tough pie. Believe me, it's much nicer to talk to a sincere critic than to a hypocritical sycophant.
"Your friend is dressed very provocatively!"
Let's say you attended a party or some kind of celebration with your friend, who found herself in the center of attention and left no one indifferent.
Many companies have bright girls dressed in short and revealing dresses. These young ladies like to show off their beautiful bust, long graceful legs and straight back. And they have the right to do this, you can't argue with that.
Do you have a similar beauty among your girlfriends? This means that she will not be left without compliments and signs of attention from the opposite sex. If by chance another friend of yours happens to be at this event, she is unlikely to speak positively about this popular beauty.
Most likely, the strict interlocutor will start a conversation with you about your bosom friend’s overly revealing outfit.
Remember phrases like "Her short skirt is simply vulgar!", "Tell that flirt to choose a more modest outfit next time", "Deep necklines are so last century. Modesty and classics are in fashion now!"
If you hear something similar in the future, you will be convinced that the negatively disposed interlocutor is clearly jealous of your friend.
Maybe next time this lying person will take on you too (for example, wash all your bones, condemn your style and behavior). Keep your ears open, do not believe her words!
"Darling, I will never lie to you!"
This is probably the signature phrase! You should be wary of a friend who constantly emphasizes her sincerity.
There is a high probability that her statement is completely false. Perhaps she is hiding her bad intentions or an opposite position.
Don't rush to look for lies, first learn to sensitively perceive the information you receive from your interlocutor. Then you will be able to successfully build relationships with others.
And don't forget to be sincere and objective with yourself. Have no doubt: soon you will be able to separate the hypocrites from the true friends and truth-lovers.
