Q&A for How to Become a Good Liar

If you are really desperate, come up with something on the spot with as many references to the event as possible.

If you don't want to tell the truth, at least tell the same lie to everyone. Keep your lies non-specific. Say "I went out", rather than "I went to watch the new Marvel superhero movie with John." If caught, either immediately admit that you were lying, or keep it up at all costs. Ways out are: "Really? I said that? I must have gotten things mixed up." "No, I think you misremembered what I said." "I have no idea what you are talking about." "That is so yesterday's news." "Look, I don't want to talk about it and I don't want to tell you why."

Go to a mirror and say something as usual. Pay close attention to your face. This is the face you will be trying to keep. Now say a lie. You may or may not notice a different face. Keep trying to pull a normal face while saying different made-up lies. After a while, your "lying face" will be a bit less noticeable.

Confront him and tell him what evidence you have to support your belief that he's cheating. Then, if you're sure he's really cheating, break up with him.

Try not to push the lie to much, and depending on the situation, you might need a different lie. You can lie convincingly by saying a simple lie, but not something too obvious, or something stupid. You can also try practicing in the mirror to see if you look guilty when telling a lie.

Give it back to them. If you don't want to admit that you stole it, you can say you grabbed it by accident and wanted to make sure they got it back. Alternatively, sneak it in somewhere you know they'll find it eventually. Don't steal from your friends in the future!

Then he's smart! You can either come clean with the truth or continue to push the lie.

This is so simple. Just ask your parents to lie with you. Give them a story, and they will tell it to your friend.

Don't. If you are honest, he is more likely to forgive you.

You say sorry. And don't lie to her again. And give her a hug.

Any lie must be both convincing and unverifiable. If you sit down to think about it, only very few things cannot be checked, like a headache. Of course, you could always claim ignorance: "I don't know." But if it's the fourth time this week, your dad's suspicions will already be stacked against you, even if he can't check your lie. So, perhaps behaving in such a way that you don't need to lie would be your best chance of success.

You shouldn't lie to your principal, but if you do, make sure it's a solid lie. Don't allow yourself to get caught by silly details or clearly wrong statements. You cannot maintain the lie that the sun is a cube. Your lie is what it is, and what others say has no bearing on the level of truth of what you said.

If you got caught and someone saw you, don’t lie; it will only make matters worse. Tell the truth and take the punishment, because lying and someone finding out you lied will dig you a deeper hole.

There's a Wikihow article on not smiling during serious situations. Sometimes, it helps to act like you're actually in the situation. Really immerse yourself into pretending you're telling the truth. Obviously, don't overdo it, but have a really strong insistent/assertive tone, and look the person in the eye when lying.
