Lying is extremely damaging to any relationship. If you lie, it affects many aspects of your relationship.
Why lying hurts relationships
Lying involves not disclosing something or hiding something.
If you are silent about something important, your feelings or emotions, this can also be considered a lie.
Both men and women seem to be especially sensitive to lies, since trust plays a crucial role here.
Whatever you hide, it can hurt the other person, as it is often perceived as betrayal, mistrust, and lack of openness in a relationship.
The more people lie, the less they are trusted in the future and believe in their honesty, even when they tell the truth.
In addition, lying in a relationship leads to a decrease in the partner's compassion and empathy.
After all, lying makes it more difficult to detect someone's emotions and feelings.
This may reduce the compassion and empathy you feel for that person.
How lies harm the person who lies
As a rule, lying leads to the destruction of a person’s personality and all relationships - both romantic and friendly.
Often people feel, even unconsciously, that they are being lied to. Therefore, it is almost impossible to hide this fact.
In addition, when a lie is revealed, the appearance of the deceiver becomes completely different in the eyes of people.
A liar loses the trust of friends and family, colleagues or superiors. The words of such a person are automatically treated with distrust.
Therefore, it is best to remain an honest and sincere person even in small things.
