Deep dives

Prevalence and Nature of Lying

Most individuals tell at least ten lies within the first three minutes of meeting others, with women typically lying to make others feel better, while men often lie to enhance their own image. This behavior has significant implications on personal health, leading to negative physiological effects. Understanding these societal norms can help individuals become more aware of their own tendencies to engage in deceptive behavior, both with others and themselves. Recognizing this pattern can lead to greater honesty in interactions, which is crucial for maintaining mental and physical well-being.
