Reading Between the Lies

Anyone can lie about anything. But through texting, people always think that it’s always easier to tell a lie through text. But the truth is, it’s easy to spot a liar with her lies. In this scenario, we don't have to look eye to eye, and we don't see other's facial expressions, confusion, or fear. Despite of the advantages, it’s easy to catch lies from any liar. People tend to lie when they give long explain with a little bit of trickery to words. In short term, beautiful lies. They will feed you with repetition of information just to convince you to believe in them. When they cannot handle conversation anymore they will delay their response or somehow it will take them much time just to respond. Or maybe they will never respond at all just to escape the conversation. Another thing they will attack your conscience by finger pointing just to make you feel guilty. In addition, they will play a game where they are always on the safe side to manage the topic or the conversation. And lastly one of the most popular tricks that a liar used is when they complain on things or when they forget something that triggers them to lie and brings back the topic to you.

The Truth Behind

The health risks to all children are immense in a variety of ways, from their vulnerable, undeveloped eyes to their developing bodies and minds. It quickly became obvious that we're being drawn back to the computer with growing pace and greater emotional investment. How then insecure and unsafe our children must feel. Some certain assurance children get from one another is temporary, indecisive, and inaccurate. "Friends" aren't real friends. And any embarrassment is magnified, widely shared, and inevitable. It's simple to tell how cyberbullying has evolved into such a problem, when the children's self-esteem now relies on uncontrollable virtual acceptance and invisible, variable, unpredictable digital feedback. The assurance which we all want is really just artificially given to the children. Seeking artificial proof does not only lead in addictive, disruptive behavior. Any assurance children get from one another and is brief, indecisive, and inaccurate. Social media is a deceptive tiny medium that's hurting you. Because of these devices, even simple interactions were also avoided and replaced by insincere installs. Technology allows us to avoid talking, confrontation, denial, disapproval and sincerity. We should still make sure we are "liked" by minimizing any personal danger. We're not looking at each other with our eyes on the screens. We don't hear anything or anybody around us.

False Reality on Vulnerable Narcissists

Vulnerable narcissists exist in a world which has a firm foothold in such a land of imagination. In several ways, grandiose narcissists will create a reality that expresses their innermost confidence in their superiority and fame by encircling themselves with people who are drawn to their attractiveness and support those beliefs. The vulnerable narcissus seems to have this belief, but in spreading a message, it loses the outgoing quality of a magnificent narcissus. Even so, in a vulnerable narcissus, there is indeed a discrepancy in what he believes into it and the fact that he creates. They lack the ability to persuade anyone else of their peculiarities. There is a difference between whether they believe in themselves and what will be embodied in them, where they do not get the approval that they desire. Living in a dream world in which you're better off than anyone can hold you back. You know, that people in real life can't support your beliefs.

Cage of Falseness

Over the past decade, the popularity of social media has exploded and became an integral part of our lives. It gives us the capability to engage with the world through sharing thoughts, gathering news or information and entertainment. But the real question is, does our connection with everyone throughout the world is real? Or are we just constructing a shinier form of reality? For anyone that has spent any amount of time scrolling through social media site, it is no secret that somehow at some point it can foster a false sense of reality that can distort our perceptions and beliefs. As technology evolves every day, we are being kept with a cage where social media became a facade that forbids us to see the reality. The danger of altered reality that we’re seeing from social media had effects that distorts and crumbles our perception towards realistic issues. Although using social media may make us feel like we’re engaging with our peers, in reality, we’re spending more time staring at our screens and having less time on one to one conversations with them. The awareness of the implications in using social media can be sometimes hard to recognize due to odds circumstances. It becomes so firm in our everyday culture that the things that we see in social media is just a door to misleading that sometimes showcase and spread a false sense of reality that distorts our perceptions of truths.
