My school friends always honored their handshake. Detecting liars and other related dangerous personality traits is important for your mental, emotional, physical, and financial health. Today, along with President Trump in the White House, lying is rampant around the world. He has selected and surrounded himself with the Pinocchio Party to protect his interests. In return, it appears that his closest White House “loyal” aides are paid a minimum annual salary of about the equivalent of a quarter million Canadian dollars.

The deceptions and methods described in my article all come from real people and actual events. Names have been withheld to protect the guilty. This information will help to protect you by revealing how to detect gaslighting, liars, scammers who may delight in destroying your life. When they speak to you, is their face flushed or body perspiring? Do they speak at a much faster pace than normal? Is their speech louder or higher pitched than normal? Is their hand placed in front of their mouth as they speak? Do the pupils in their eyes become smaller? Does the person swallow harder, as in “that’s hard to swallow”. Do their eyes shift constantly, usually to the left? Is there frequent eye blinking? Is the same information repeated many times? Many people will believe lies if repeated often. Repeated phrases are especially suspicious when unrelated to the current conversation, such as “I would never take your money, I don’t want a dime.” This is to throw you off track, a “red herring”. Ending a statement with “Believe me!”, “It’s true”, “Everybody knows that” or “It’s a fact” often follows a lie. Do they look above or below while speaking to you, failing to make eye contact? True sociopaths or psychopaths will lie and stare directly in your eyes and say “No, I’m not planning anything.” They may accuse you of doing what they are doing, saying that you are controlling, but they are the ones pulling the strings. When you confront them of doing what they are indeed doing, they may bulldoze you by yelling at you with rapid-fire speech. Do they answer you in a low voice, while agreeing with you as in “No, I don’t mind.” Constant people pleasers may be con men or con women. Do their actions match their words? They will never apologize because it is always someone else’s fault. They may coldly show a lack of empathy to help their best friend from childhood who is now in dire circumstances: “She will have to figure that out for herself.” Do they bad mouth or discard lots of people? You may be next, as well as your family, if you have children. If a woman says, “I’m a bitch”, she is probably not joking. Take it seriously or you may be the next one they scam. Do their pupils become enlarged when they hear of a possible opportunity to get something from you, usually money? Do they make up lies about you and tell your friends, family, or employer how bad you are, or how much they are a victim of your behavior? They may even phone your business contacts to destroy your career. Do they make comments like: “My mother and sister will get what they can from you.” You look at them and wonder if they do not fall far from the family tree, but their razor-sharp reading of your face comes back with: “Oh, I’m not like that.” It is best run away from these people before they destroy your life. *Gaslighting involves manipulation patterns that cause you to question your own sanity, memory, judgment, or perceptions of reality. *The term “gaslighting” originated with the play *Gas Light* in 1938. It was later made more popular with the 1944 film *Gaslight*. The term has recently received revived prominence due to President Trump constantly gaslighting the entire world. Everyone is susceptible. Are you “walking on eggshells” around someone, constantly feeling uncomfortable, or even afraid of losing your high paid job, your relationship, or your marriage? Do you have a gut feeling of unexplainable uneasiness? Is your self-esteem being eaten away? Is there constant confusion because you are fed positive and negative approval, so you never know where you are at? When they are nice to you, do you think: “I’m sure that things will work out”. The manipulator keeps you off balance and insecure so they can feel powerful. Is it difficult to confront them? They will insist their lies are true no matter what evidence you produce. If you produce some detail that they do not want you to know, they are furious and shout in your face: “Who told you that!” Do they seem to disagree with everything you say or do? Do they deny promising you something? Do they deny you said something? Do they deny truth and facts? Are you frequently told in a serious voice: “It is just your imagination, all in your head”. This is a highly toxic relationship. They have no guilt or remorse for what they do to you. They are only sorry if they get caught and face consequences. They are very secretive but love to eavesdrop on conversations at any opportunity. (Part 2 to be continued in second email.) M.V.P. Ltd.
