Spiritually speaking, why is it some people are so quick to jump to the conclusion you are lying to them?

When you have been nothing but honest? I tend to trust people and give everyone a chance, only when they start demonstrating dishonesty do I start doubting. I think that the more honest you are the more you tend to trust others. So when someone accuses me of lying for no reason at all that I can see, do I have good cause to wonder if that person cannot themselves be trusted? Is refusing to share personal details with you when you have shared some of yours with them a good reason to suspect they are being dishonest?

    Well you've Actually got a good point but I don't think you can draw conclusions... I myself am honest and only lie when it's for a good cause and I'm really good at lying and that might be because I seem like a honest guy... I'm Good at spotting lying too and I do accuse ppl now and then tho I'm an honest bloke so I don't think you can connect the two because I'm often doubting things ppl say tho not in a negative way but In a cautious way and I'm still honest but I still really like your point

    I don't know because it truly depends upon the person. I just know that some on this site are rather volitile and though at times I have been as well, I don't want to be any longer. I have always been truthful and it makes me sad when others are not. I don't share a whole lot of "personal details" and I try to be cautious of who I tell what to...not everyone on here is who they claim to be.

    It is usually not a good idea to jump to conclusions, and sometimes even so-called red flags can have a reasonable and legitimate explanation. But when you have been burned far too many times in person by someone you thought you knew, you become sensitive to even slight hints of something possibly amiss.

    Those things have happened to not just me but many if not most others, and possibly to all of us at one time or other.

    I don't know the situation, but in the three years I have known you, I have never thought you were a liar. You are one of the few on this site who I actually trust pretty well.

    So if someone treated you that way, they sound like a fool.

    People are strange. All of us.

    We are always judging each other and misinterpreting things (some of us, more than others-but we are all guilty.)

    I say when people are in doubt, they should think the best about others, not the worst.

    I too, had someone email me and try to get me to tell them my name and stuff about myself. Yet they had private activity and when I asked them to reveal it to me, they wouldn't.

    But they kept pressing for more info about me. The internet is a place to be very cautious about everyone. Not only should we be very careful about giving personal info out, we also shouldn't believe every story they give. A lot are concocted, and I have seen that people do this to my religion as well.

    They come up with all of these stories, with no proof they actually happened.

    But with you, I have observed you long enough, to know your motives and you are the real thing.
