Life is often about truths and lies. Most of us have told a lie at one time or another. But have you ever thought that your seemingly small lie can hurt someone’s emotions and cause irreparable damage to someone’s mental health? A lie can destroy a healthy relationship and end up hurting the person as you break their trust.

A lie can not only destroy a growing or healthy relationship but can leave the victim feeling wretched with their trust, generally in others and specifically in the liar, broken beyond repair. However, if you can understand the psychology of the liar, the pain and the damage to your mental health could become mitigated.
