NT are amazing liars

Post Reply New Topic

We just don't have that ability to "spin"everything to our advantage. Instead of regretting it, view your directness and honesty as positive qualities you possess. There are people who will(and probably do) appreciate you for them.

They are amazing liars and aspies are amazingly naive.
I'm still naive and gullible somewhat.
Past experiences make it extremely difficult for me to fully trust people.

I am actually quite good at spotting "liars". I used quotes to emphasise that I mean people who consistently lie or consistently embellish the truth to advance whatever social agenda they have. I often spot these people for what they are before my NT friends or family. I suspect it's down to me consciously thinking about people, their words, emotions and reactions and applying my pattern matching skills to them.

On the other hand, if a usually-honest person tells me a lie the likelihood of me catching them out on it is low to nil unless they make a mistake which makes the lie easily refutable using logic.

I'm NT and can't stand liars.

Same here. Sometimes people say I'm too sensitive & easily upset but I find it's very easy for me to unintentionally offend people by telling them the brutally honest truth that they don't want to hear. I can lie but the problem I have is knowing when I should & I also don't think well when I'm put on the spot; I can lie well when I'm able to prepare in my mind. I sometimes have a problem where people don't believe me when I am telling the truth but they sometimes believe me when I lie. I'm not sure what to believe from NTs sometimes because I'm objective & try to keep an open mind so I can be quite gullible but I also sometimes don't believe people when I really should because I consider the possibility that they aren't being truthful.

I do not think they are good liers, just that you guys are bad at reading faces. I may not be so good with reading emotions, but most NTs have ceratin ticks that give them away, and, when pushed for specific details, their lies fall apart. My NT family actually finds me to be a good lier, since I do not have issues in regards to details, and plan my lies out ahead of time.
