Indirect slap(s) to the face

There's a million ways to hurt, betray and/or disrespect someone other than cheating on them or physically abusing them.

Non physical slaps to the face?
-When someone is caught red-handed in a lie & yet continues to lie, making the other person believe that they must be seeing or imagining things

Ugh! This is 1 thing I hate about liars. They'll look you dead in the face, not blink/bat 1 single eye-lash & try to further convince you of a lie even though you've already cornered them & made it known that you knew they were lying.

Can any self-admitted liars explain this? And don't act like you've never lied either b/c 99% of you have!

How can you really look the person you supposedly love in the face with a STRAIGHT face & 1. Lie to them, to begin with & 2. Continue to lie even though you can clearly see that your 1st lie has devestated them?

My mother always told me to be leary of those who brag about being good liars. Why is being a good liar a good thing? Not to toot your horn liars, but you can't be THAT great of a liar if you're always getting caught red-handed! A person who can fake sincerity is the most DANGEROUS person in the world.

People under-estimate the power of what lying can do to a relationship/friendship. It can RUIN everything. And in some cases, lying is just as worse as cheating and/or physically slapping me in the face.

I think cheaters can eventually be redeemed, but in my experiences in life, most pathological/habitual liars never changed. If they've lied to you, & if you go back in time, there's 99% of the time some kind of pattern that involves them lying to everyone else in their lives too.

When a person lies to me once, that's 1 thing. But if someone lies to me twice, they'd get the same treatment (me running like hell) as if they'd slapped me in the face, F'd my best friend or physically stabbed me in the chest.

We all lie sometimes and you'd be lying if you said you didn't. So what do you have to say for yourself?

a little off topic but still addressing a statement you made,,,,,my career requires me to fake sincerity at times (nurse). and i might add, that i've mastered it. there are days when my mind is on something other than someone needing me to empty a urinal..with a smile on my face and a "is there anything else i can do for you?" And i wouldnt call myself the "most dangerous person in the world".
i find it to be a skill i can use outside of work as well. i am nice to alot of people while feigning sincerity. isn't it ok if the person really believes you care, but inside you could really give two shits? if they don't know, does it matter? it's surely alot better than telling them what you really think, and being rude as hell sometimes.

I'm not talking about lying as in your job requires you to b/c that kind of lying isn't generally a tactic that's used to hurt or devestate others. There's a difference b/w lying & telling an 80 year patient that their hair looks nice vs. lying to your partner & swearing they must be seeing things, even after you walking in on them cheating. HUGE difference.

I'm talking about the kind of lying that is aimed to hurt, deceive or devestate another person. The kind of lying that goes in relationships. In a relationship, there is no big supervisor or boss that's standing over your head & threatening to fire you or cut your paycheck short all b/c you didn't use their deceptive sales pitches. The dynamic in relationships is that if you lie, there's no monetary or personal gain from doing so that will benefit BOTH you & your partner in the longrun
