Re: What makes people untrustworthy?
LOL

Yeah, maybe thas it..?

So, both deception, both a lie from where I'm standing.

Could you please explain to me how one

lie is different from the other lie?
 Quoting: callit


I suppose it's a polite way of saying stfu as opposed to intentionally misleading you for personal gain. One is I don't want to talk to you and the other is trying to extort stuff out of you.
 Quoting: chasity


Exactly. Some will pet and some will try to throttle. Just having hands to do either with isn't the problem.

Re: What makes people untrustworthy?
Psychological projection is a defence mechanism in which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.[1] For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting and can manifest as shame dumping.

Yep!

They project themselves ... they accuse others and play the victim ... so typical!

Re: What makes people untrustworthy?
I'm sorry. That was kind of over the top & rude wasn't it?

I was mad about something else, and reached the snapping point when I happened to be reading your pretty innocuous post, but definitely not because of your post, though I do disagree with it still.

[Maybe that bread picture though - trying to be gluten-free ovah heah ]

There.
Now it's been established I have no excuse , you nevertheless excuse my random, rudderless rudeness -without-a- real- reason, right?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77505643


Everybody will excuse it just because you wrote this so well.

I disagree. Learning to lie is a conditioned response from bad parenting. If a parent isn't judicious & fair in meting out justice, if they are unstable emotionally & unpredictable in dictating right from wrong, the child adapts to become a liar.

I have dealings with Amish & Mennonite people. Almost without exception, they are honest to a fault. It's all about their rigid morality, & how they raise their children. I almost wish I could live among them given how dishonest the rest of the world is. I prize honesty & truth above all else in other people. Once a person lies to me, I lose all trust in their word. Once a liar, always a liar.
 Quoting: XeroGravity


Even the Amish and Mennonite have some born bad apples. The communal strict laws and order enforce behavior more than out side of the communities. It is not a personal morality trait of choice but by force.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78113724


Oppressive = living a lie.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45139444


There is no "force" involved. Nor is there anything "oppressive" about their lifestyles. In fact, when Amish/Mennonite young people come of age, they are sent out to live amongst the "English" (i.e. the ordinary people from outside their community). If they choose to abandon their community, they are free to go. Nearly all choose to stay.

They are kind, warm people with gentle souls. The real oppression is the collective cruelty & hatred & nastiness of the world from outside their community. I feel humbled whenever I'm in their presence, & I've even gone to one of their churches on a few occasions, stayed in one of their homes for several days after being snowed in during a blizzard, & broke bread with them. There are no finer people on this Earth.
 Quoting: XeroGravity


I'm glad to see your defense of them.

They're a subject that seems to be getting an ever more cynical treatment in the media

I can well believe what you say here, "The real oppression is the collective cruelty & hatred & nastiness of the world from outside their community."
