Yep. In our personal lives, when someone lies to us outright with a straight face, we tend to distrust every single thing that comes out of their mouth after that.
Once lost, it is a heavy lift to regain trust unless the person is a complete dumb ass.
Personally, I don’t trust a single word uttered by our government or the media.
This is a joke, right? Why any American citizen with even one ounce of brainpower would believe anything coming out of any part of Joe Biden’s government operatives is beyond comprehension. If they told us the time of day, we could not believe them. It is extremely sad as to what Biden & Company have done to the American people in the last four years.
Words to live by.
You’re not alone.
“when someone lies to us outright with a straight face, we tend to distrust every single thing that comes out of their mouth after that.”
Usually we can fix it on the spot.
I had a contractor give me a silly low quote on a job. I did not call him a liar but made him walk me through every little detail of what was and what was not included in his quote.
Once he realized he could not fool me we were able to work out a valid quote with lots of detail.
The job went fine—and we got on great.
Most people will stop lying immediately once they know you are on to them.
