Every Type of Lie Examples

The White Lie:
This lie is the lie that you would use to avoid a conflict. An example of this would be, friend "does my hair look good?" me "oh yes it looks great!", but you know it looks terrible. This is such an easy way out of having heated conversations and possibly a huge argument.
Facades:
This lie is when you go out into the world acting like someone who you completely are not. Example of this would be going to class everyday looking and acting extremely proper, then when it comes time to you being at home, you would be a slopy joe and perhaps rude. I would call these types of liers fakes.
Ignoring the Plain Facts:
This lie is simply when you go out doing something but knowing that it is a lie. An example of this is when you say you are a certain religion, but then go out and do the opposite of what that religion teaches.
Deflecting:
When you dont want to truly say or talk about how you feel. An example of this one is when your friend or someone important to you ask how you are doing, you simply ignore the question and then ask them that same question right back. This lier is trying to avoid whatever there hiding by bouncing the question of themselves right back to the person who asked it.
Omission:
This lie means when you go on with doing something and when someone ask what have you been up to, you say what you were doing and what not but may leave out the fact of where you actually were. This lie is when you leave out a few main parts, but those main parts could turn the situation around.
Stereotypes and Cliches:
This is when someone who is of a different race is just looked at as maybe being a terrorist and telling people that when they know personally that that person is not.
Groupthink:
This lie is when someone who doesn't like to drink will drink because they dont want to be outcasted from there group of friends. They will do anything to stay with them and even will change there personality to hang.
Out and Out Lies:
This one is when you just straight up tell a lie when it is obvious that you did it. The person will just say anything so it will look like they didnt do it.
Dismissal:
This is when your lie is actually making you think of something that truly is not, but by telling this lie it becomes true to yourself.
Delusion:
The lie that puts you almost in a fairy tale. You go out telling or showing someone one thing, but knowing deep down that it isnt true.
