Sadly, people probably lie to you far more often than you realize. Plenty of people lie constantly, and many times a day. People tend to wear masks for a variety of reasons. A lot of it has to do with being accepted in society. A study conducted in 2002 found that 60 percent of people will lie during a 10-minute conversation. The average number of lies they tell in that brief conversation is two or three.

Doesn’t it drive you crazy when you can’t tell if someone is being honest? Liars work hard to avoid detection, so how can you tell if they’re duping you? While you can’t fight every battle of dishonesty, you probably would like to know if those closest to you are lying. Knowing the signs can help you get rid of the people in your life who aren’t being real.
