iSmartNetwork Magazine The online magazine for you…
Nobody is innocent when it comes to exaggerating things we’ve seen, heard, or was attended. Like, that smashing b-day party of yours in an abandoned palace that got everyone talking. Except that it was your uncle’s porch and the only guests were your twin cousins from Wyoming.
We’ve all “re out there”, said and done, but sometimes things proceed from exaggerated to plain made-up in an instant. And there’s a subreddit called r/ thatHappened dedicated alone, as its description says, to “true stories that are 100% true-blue and actually happened.” You get the sarcasm.
As for evidence, the 1.3 million members of the public are sharing screenshots of people lying their hearts out with a straight face. Trust me, the result is totally hilarious.

All humans possess the ability to lie: it’s something we’re born with and we die with. One study published in the Journal of Basic and Applied Social Psychology found that 60 percent of people can’t proceed 10 minutes without telling a lie. At the same time, another study published by the American Psychological Association suggested that lying less was linked to better average health, both mental and physical.
So, why on earth do we lie, then? Well, it turns out that lying offers somewhat of a defense mechanism that helps humans to protect themselves from shame or shame, to avoid being judged, and other negative emotions.

Lying big-hearted always starts from simple stairs, aka lying small. First, as kids, we learn to tell pro-social lies, like telling your grandma you like that new hand-knit sweater she “ve given you” on Christmas when, in fact, you can’t even look at it.
According to this study from the publication Nature Neuroscience, “when people tell tiny lies, the psyche becomes desensitized to the pang of remorse that dishonesty usually causes.”
The more little pro-lies we give, the less guilt we feel, and the more it snowballs into bigger lies that suddenly become way easier. In some examples, people get so used to falsifying or fabricating things that “theyre starting” belief their lies. At some level, it turns into habit and it becomes incredibly hard to quit for good.
