Conversation

    There's something strange about people who tell lies for no reason.  Maybe i'm just in awe of someone who would tell an easily caught lie rather than the truth.  Even more when the truth would have had a positive impact on the situation but the lie made it 10 times worse.  Only a pathological liar would know why.

   People like that seem to have a warped reality field around them.

   More specifically they have a warped perception of reality field that influences those around them.

   But how does that work?

   Have you heard of something called conversational hypnosis?  It's also called covert hypnosis.

   It might not even be real link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covert_hypnosis

   I haven't read a good explanation of how it works so I'll provide one.

   If you remember a post on Hypnosis and one on Dissociation I mentioned the 2 are linked.

   You might be wondering about the point of bringing that up.

   It's simple enough.  Every time someone tells you a lie - especially an obvious one - it causes a brief but exploitable moment of dissociation.

   That's it.

   And that's all it takes.

   Because in that brief moment a good liar will have made the lie seem like the truth.  Or in that moment a good liar will have made the lie unimportant.  Or in that moment some part of you will step in and smooth over what just happened in your mind.  All on behalf of the person who just lied to you.

   So now that you're aware...

   Liars beware.
