"First, she told acquaintances she was engaged to NHL player Ryan Clowe..." Seriously? WHY? That's one of the easiest facts to check.

Seriously? WHY? That's one of the easiest facts to check.
- ChuckMcM 14y agoI don't know why, I do know that confidence people use the technique of telling a lie that would be trivial to cross check because it shows authority. The way it works on the human brain is that if you just said something that is something is true, that a simple fact check would prove you to be a liar, and nobody wants to be a liar, thus I can be confident what you said actually is true because it would be stupid to lie about something I could so easily verify. Oh and I won't verify it right now because I'll feel stupid if it is true. Now people do go off to get a drink or use the facilities and do a quick check on their smartphone :-) And I know I tend to get snarky with folks who lie to me if I'm aware and not minding my manners (its a weakness I am working on). This story reflects a much more troubled person. Hope she can work it out before it consumes her.
