deception techniques

Deception techniques involve strategies used to mislead or influence others by presenting false information, hiding truths, or manipulating perceptions. Common methods include lying, omitting details, using ambiguous language, or creating credible yet false narratives. These techniques exploit psychological tendencies such as trust, cognitive biases, or emotions to convince someone of a falsehood. Deception can be intentional, like in scams or espionage, or unintentional, such as misunderstandings. Understanding these tactics helps individuals recognize and critically evaluate information, fostering better decision-making and awareness of potential manipulation in everyday interactions.
