Lies

           Error—a lie by mistake. The person believes they are being truthful, but what they are saying is not true. 

          Omission – leaving out relevant information. Easier and least risky. It doesn’t involve inventing any stories. It is passive deception and less guilt is involved.                   Restructuring—distorting the context. Saying something in sarcasm, changing the characters, or the altering the scene. 

        Denial—refusing to acknowledge a truth. The extent of denial can be quite large—they may be lying only to you just this one time or they may be lying to themselves

        Minimization—reducing the effects of a mistake, a fault, or a judgment call.          

           Exaggeration—representing as greater, better, more experienced, more successful.     

           Fabrication—deliberately inventing a false story.
