Why do you need to lie? I think you should tell the truth in everything! wouldn't you rather be known as someone who is completely honest rather than someone who is a liar?

i know this doesn't answer the question, but i have to warn you: lying is addictive, especially when you are good at it. beware of what you teach yourself.

Always tell the truth. Never lie because eventually the truth always come to light.

I would encourage you to never lie. Lying will get you in alot of trouble. Always speak the truth know matter what the circustance, even if you got yourself in that situation.

WHY do you want to lie? The truth is much better and causes less pain in the long run. You have to face your lies at some point and time, but the truth will stand behind you and support you always

Lying is not a good habit to get into. It will always come back to haunt you. But if you must, the only way to be convincing is to believe the lie yourself.

Watch Liar Liar by Jim Carey. Start listening to politicians. Always talk in generalisms so that you can always cover your tracks when someone suspects you of lying. Try it out in public like in the mall. Talk to the shop keepers and start spinning extravagant yarns. You'll be a pro in no time flat.

This may be very naive...but why on earth would you want to become a better liar? Don't we have enough of them in the world? Isn't much better to distinguish yourself as a straight-shooter than become one of the myriad of those who lie? I don't get it.

Every GOOD lie has a bit of truth in it. Pick your story and STICK to it.

An effective lie always has as much truth in it as possible. Also structure the lie so that the lie suits the person hearing it. Don't make it complex and don't make it expansive. Keep it simple and as brief as possible, no other justifications unless questioned. If it uses their beliefs, they will more readily accept it. Also watch your facial expression and your eyes. Practice keeping a poker face. And lastly, try not to lie, one lie leads to more and more.

Watch one of Dane Cook's bits, especially the one where he comes home late at night after cheating on his girlfriend. She asks where he was and he repeats the question. I've noticed a lot when people lie to me, they repeat the question I asked them. "Who was I with?" It seems to give them that extra split second to think of a lie and begin to design the web that surrounds it. Then they have to keep telling lies to protect the original lie, then remember them all. Clearly it's much easier to not lie. Nobody likes a liar, though millions have made a living out of it.

The best way to believe in the lie yourself.

Think ahead- if you can think of what situations you might need to lie in you can think of a much more convincing lie to tell. Never make yourself look like an angel in a lie- if you're willing to admit some fault it is much more beleivable (this is a good place to insert a bit of the truth). Pay attention to how you usually speak and present yourself- if you are aware of this you can regulate how you are speaking while telling a lie. And yes- if you can convince yourself that it is true- or at least necissary- this will make lying more convincing.

Observe the animals. Some of them are lying all the time.

First of all, if you know you are going to have to lie about something, plan in advance a plausible but not overly extravagant answer. It must be something credible that won't draw attention to the person being lied to . Second, practice saying this lie in a mirror as if you were in an actual conversation. The more fluid you can make your tone of speech seem, the better. Even somewhat slow people can pick up faint mannerisms that will betray a poorly crafted delivery. You must find a good neutral ground in your delivery. Don't be too assertive or too meek, as these are signs you are trying to be too convincing or subversive, respectively. Lastly, when you are actually saying the lie, maintain a neutral stance (don't cross your arms, cover mouth, fidget excessively, etc.) so as not to betray your words. Don't smile or laugh as you are saying it, as these are instinctive ways we act to downplay the fact that we are lying. Overall, just picture how you would say this as if it were the truth and follow that example. Be sure to think of any follow up questions that may be asked, so as to maintain your composure during the lie. If you still feel scared, enlist an ally to help lie with you... two people can be much more convincing than one.

gain charisma... by practicing lying to friends and asking them to tell if you are lying or telling the truth...but warn them first.

The best thing is to never get started. For the more you lie, the more you will be stuck in doing so. And once you get started in it. The harder it will be for you to quit. It will come to the point that you will believe in your own lies. And it is not good for one to live in that life stile......So please for your own sake, don't fall into that trap.
