The modern world is not an easy place to live. We encounter many people every day. Often these people are pleasant to us, even more often unpleasant, and in exceptional cases they even pose a danger to us. We are talking about those cases when the person with whom we are in contact wants to deceive us. It is difficult to restrict communication with people, and even more so to stop, and on this basis the question arises of how to protect ourselves from the deception that lies in wait for us everywhere.
Instructions
Step 1
Go to a lie-recognition training. Only a few people are capable of deceiving a stranger without a twinge of conscience. But it is unlikely that without prior preparation you will be able to distinguish a liar from a good person. To do this, visit a training or seminar where they talk about how to determine whether a person is lying or not. You may be able to recognize a lie right away, or it may take time. But in any case, the money and time invested in this kind of training will pay off, because every person needs to have this kind of knowledge.
Step 2
Be careful. Never trust strangers, no matter how wonderful they seem to you. Always check the information given to you and never lend money to strangers. All these tips seem obvious, but many people forget about the elementary rules of personal safety and fall for the tricks of scammers. Don't be naive - there are a lot of sneaks and liars around.
Step 3
Read Alan Pease's book Body Language. Much has been written in it about how to find out by facial expressions, gestures and body posture, whether the person who is talking to you is lying right now. Armed with new knowledge, go to friends to test yourself. If you start to put this knowledge into practice, it will become much easier for you to notice deception still on the way, and this will undoubtedly help you to protect yourself from it.
Step 4
Do not contact those people who have already deceived you. Do not do business with them or agree to help them. Remember - a person who has lied once loses trust forever. Do not step on the same rake, do not trust known liars, and this will help you avoid a lot of trouble.
Step 5
Check all the necessary documents in case of serious and financial issues. Be sure to find out in advance about your rights and the rights of your partner, do not trust anyone else to do your business. Remember that only you are responsible for your actions, so always take any money-related activity seriously.
Step 6
Accept that one day you will still be deceived and do not lose heart because of this. If you are deceived, be sure to take some experience from the current situation, draw your own conclusions and move on, trusting people, but now with some caution.
