“One of the easiest ways to get away with a lie is to simply divert the focus away from yourself so that you don’t get caught up in your lie,” says Samantha Morrison, a wellness expert for Glacier Wellness. “Because details break lies apart, good liars know just how to avoid questioning by embracing the red herring method,” she explains.
How do you use a red herring, you ask? Well, it’s when you shift the topic of conversation to something else that’s irrelevant to the actual issue at hand. So, if your boss is questioning you about you why you’re late to an important meeting, and you make your answer less about your lateness and more about, say, the stresses of being a busy parent. Got it? Good!
