How to Spot a Compulsive Liar Before Starting a Relationship

Lying is morally wrong but it is also quite normal. Everyone does it. In fact, one researcher said  [1] that lying is an unavoidable part of human nature. How many times have your loved ones asked if you were ok and you said that you were, when in fact you were not? Or have you ever been running late and told your friend that you would be there in five minutes when you knew fully well that it would take at least ten? And what about when toddlers say that they haven’t eaten any chocolates despite having their face smeared with it? At a certain age, we learn that lying is hurtful and most people will develop a good set of morals to try to hurt other people as little as possible. Pathological lying, however, is very different. What is pathological lying? I once knew a girl who was charming, sociable and gregarious.

Traits of Critical Thinkers That Make Them Become High Performers

We are living in the age of “fake news” and “alternative facts”, straight up lying seems to be an accepted part of news and politics. Because of this, simply being able to tell exactly what is going on can be difficult. To be able to think critically is now a very important skill. Though what exactly is critical thinking? Critical thinking is when you are presented with a piece of information and engage with it independently [1]  and actively to discern how accurate it is. Too often we are encouraged to be passive with news and information, it can seem sometimes that we are being told how to react, think, and feel by the media or other sources. This is avoided if you think critically. If you think critically you will be guided through life by your own observations [2] , knowledge, and experience, and not be led. 5 Traits of skilled critical thinkers But what exactly are the benefits?
