The Art of Deception

Category: Personal diary

Deception is highly necessary in my life and I find that I have become really good at it. The first thing about deception that you have to think about is...

"why do I want to deceive someone/what is my goal."
It may be a bit of a sickness but I actually deceive people for fun. I lie simply because I like outwitting people.

In deception the number one purpose is to get someone to believe something different from what is actual. So obviously lying is a huge importance in deception.

Now most would say that lying is not a skill that is really necessary to be taught, but you would be surprised at how bad people can be at it.

First rule of lying is to think of everything "AHEAD OF TIME" This is crucial... The biggest mistake people make with deception is that they often go into it thinking of little to nothing about it... they just take it as it comes. Well this is wrong. If you truly wish to deceive someone then you have to think of every single thing they would ever say to you. Anything and everything you could think that the subject will ask you must have a predetermined excuse. If you have everything thought out it saves on hesitation. Also if you think of it ahead of time your story can stay strait instead of you trying to remember it as you make it up on the spot. If you think of a story ahead of time then you will never be surprised. When you come up with your story think of every detail. Don't think "There is no way they would ever ask that." because if they do then you have failed.

Now the second thing about lying is that even though you have thought up a large complex story, you are not perfect therefore you will probably get asked something you didn't think of. Expect this. When this happens, "TIME" is crucial. You should never give out an answer without first thinking about it. so stall. laugh at their question, or get angry at it. ask if the question is really necessary. make them feel like an idiot for asking it. If the question is a really good one act surprised and sort put on the a sarcastic act of "oh my god you caught me".... while putting up these small acts you are actually buying time in your head to think of something to go along with your story. This is all I can say about this. That is why it is very important to think of the story before hand.

Third, in your pre-made story only include people you can trust into your story as alibis. This is because you need to tell everyone involved in your story about the story before even telling the story. If you have friends or parents like mine they are not easily persuaded if you don't have any witnesses. The more people that are involved then the more believable your lie is. Unfortunately the more people involved leads to a much bigger risk of being caught. Make sure everyone knows about updates or changes in the story as soon as they are made.

Last about lying is that.... I always know when somebody is lying.... always. Just by the way they talk or act. I know a lie. This is what you must avoid.
First you've read all of the above already so you know if you ask a question and they say they didn't hear what you said or laugh at your question or don't answer right away. They are almost surly lying.
Second, eye contact is my biggest thing. I can tell when somebody is lying just by the way their eyes are. If you see the persons eyes go down "a lot" then they are probably nervous. They are lying.
Third, Hesitation/changes in story. If someone hesitates in what they are saying even a little you know some part of it is a story. Ask them questions that are the same just worded different. If they slip up in the story then it is obvious that they are lying.
Last, look for overkill things. If the person is being too nice to you, or laughing too much at a certain subject or reacting strangely to something you say (even for an instant) then you should dig into it.

Thinking of the above, because you know how to look for a liar, then avoid giving off the signs of lying.

Once you have deceived someone it is very important to keep the story in your head constantly for at least a week after. Then after the week is over you can forget your story.

Once you have learned how to deceive, then you can start manipulating people the way you want. Always keep your story believable and never do anything ever that will contradict your own story.

In closing, when deceiving always think of everything, everything, everything. Most of all though. Always assume you will be caught. Always assume it. If you do this you can then pre figure how to get out of being caught or make the consequences of being caught as minimal as possible.

I please hope that no one on this site looks down on me, because I don't lie to everyone all the time.... mostly just my parents and some of my friends. My friend has trouble lying and I was thinking of sending this to him, so thats what this is.
