greetings to everyone, what is lying? who is a liar? and why do people lie? and some reasons not to lie. Stay calm and enjoy your reading as I find answers to these questions.
According to Britannica, ''lies are statements that the speaker believes to be false and that are intended to cause the person toward whom they are directed to accept them as true. In this view, lies must be assertoric. That is, lies must be in the form of a statement, it must be the intention of the liar to cause the target to believe the content of the assertion, and it must be the case that only persons can lie or be lied to. In this view, it is not necessary that the content of the assertion really be false, only that the liar believes it to be false.'' Therefore, simply a liar is someone who tells lies.
WHY DO PEOPLE LIE?
The majority of people lie much more frequently than they are willing to acknowledge, even to themselves, according to psychologists. According to a 2002 research by American psychologist Robert S. Feldman, people lie on average two to three times for every 10 minutes of conversation time. This statistic is the most frequently cited one for the incidence of lying.
-The need to maintain one's self-esteem,

-and the urge to influence others to act in one's own best interests are among the many reasons for lying that psychologists have identified in Blagg and Lotha(2016).
-to maintain their sense of self.
