People are practiced at telling lies that their peers believe. Random strangers are better at being skeptical because they are not empathetic about the excuses

People are practiced at telling lies that their peers believe. Random strangers are better at being skeptical because they are not empathetic about the excuses that are necessary to smooth out an explanation.
- greggman3 6y agoAre random strangers better? The stereotype is they just based on looks and mannerisms. Dark skin + sweats = guilty. etc...
- edmundsauto 6y agoNo, I think everyone is probably equally terrible at detecting lies. Except for the few people who have actually been tested and shown to be good at it. Any other narrative is just a story - we're all pretty bad at guessing each others intentions.
