Mack what are the other forms of dishonesty? I tried googling it, but am interested to know...
they are more properly known as pcyhological "coping" mechanisms...
which is another way of saying "wrong ways of dealing with shit".
basically forms of dishonesty
- rationalization: making excuses, buying into your own excuses
- projection: finding the same flaws in others that you have in yourself to make yourself feel better, even if you have to create them out of thin air
- denial: acting as though, actively trying to believe, that something isn't as it is
- avoidance: changing the subject, distracting, being too busy to deal with it
- intellectualization/dissociation: trying to act like a scholar (or independent party) about the situation that he/she directly caused
- passive-aggression: trying to control people through manipulative means
there are coping (or defense) mechanisms...
but wherever you see these behaviors,
you will usually find a lie or a misdeed.
there are more.
google it.
