Because most of the time, people toy around with whatever they can get away with. So lying temporarily confuses and distorts. I always said, people aren't smart enough to lie... 1 lie = 10 coverup lies. and they all have to jive. So yea, I have yet to meet a lifelong successful liar

I think this works well for the average person. Others have a lot of practice... not just with lying, but with learning a level of a comfortable justification fer lying. Some play it like a game... they're as used to it and smooth at it you putting on your shoes. Social vampires... sucking the life outta others for their own amusement. And they very good at it.

I try my best not to lie, and I am mostly successful.

Ted! Long time no see Leigh! As wonderful as ever Mental Disorders aside of course... Where the person believes their own BS. I truly feel the average person shows distinctive uncontrollable signs when they deceive... Or maybe I'm overly tuned in to them? In any case, liars suck!

Does it irk me to know somebody is lying? Most of the time no, because it is their problem and they must live with. If, however, it does damage to myself or mine...then they had better be a fast runner.

Lie detectors (polygraphs) are not admissible in court due to their failure rate. My nephew is a pathological liar as well.
