never back down until the other person has incontrovertible proof, then go on the offensive.

i'm a sociopath, but generally, people are very reluctant to call others out for lying, so even if you suspect that the other person thinks/knows you are lying, you can wait them out and the lie becomes the truth you both accept.

if they do call you out on a lie and cite evidence, seize on one or two incorrect facts in their evidence and fight them on those points, make the whole argument about those issues, and when you are able to demonstrate the falsity of those minor claims, act like you have conclusively demonstrated the truth of your whole fabrication.

if they have absolute, incorruptible proof of a lie, either feign embarrassment and admit to lying, but lie about you reason for doing so ("those weird texts on my phone were planning a surprise birthday party for you") or continue to deny that you are lying and attack them for not believing you, snooping, or something else ("i can't believe you don't trust me, this is just like the time that you [unrelated bullshit]").

focusing on minor specifics and attacking to change the subject are complete desperate bitch moves, but sometimes you can gaslight your way out of being exposed as a complete fraud by fighting on the details.

i pulled this exact same tack when my wife found some girls' numbers that I was working on the sly. basically made up a lie and just attacked her with the trust issue. it worked. she broke down crying and i kicked her out. lol. she came back begging and never brought it up again.

I avert my eyes always. People always think I'm lying. It's actually really shitty. The vast majority of people do not realize that empirical studies have shown that averted gaze is actually a SPS indicator of whether someone is lying.

Usually I force myself to make eye contact, but it doesn't seem to help much because they can see it makes me visibly uncomfortable. Other times I'll just say fuck it, look at whatever makes me feel most comfortable (i.e., something off in the distance), slide and let it do what it do. The two strategies are roughly equally disastrous on average.

Just believe that what you are saying is true.

Give specific details.

Alternative: When you're probably gonna have to lie, do it by phone. When you have to be in person, say in a context where you don't have to look at a person. Be walking alongside them or grabbing something from the fridge or w/e.
