Types of deception

• Self-deception is also known as lying to yourself and believing it.
• Confirmation bias is a delusional thought someone believes despite proof that it’s false.
• Exaggeration makes something seem much better or worse than it was.
• An omission is a primarily true story, except the deceiver doesn’t include the vital aspects that make it a lie.
• Denial or refusal to admit the truth.
• Gaslighting or misleading someone into thinking they’re going crazy.
• Self-serving lies and manipulation are falsehoods to get what the deceiver wants.

People who habitually lie all the time are considered pathological liars. It’s not a big deal to them, and they’ll lie to anyone. They will lie easily and not feel remorse for it.
