One of the primary differences to distinguish is when the individual becomes aware that something that they have done is wrong.
Notice the word WHEN <-- That's the key!
There you are at your local grocery store when you come out to your suburban only to find...
Setting consequences in place gives someone a clear choice and sets them free to make it.
Our job is to accept their consequence. We let them know that they can choose a or b. If they choose a, certain things will happen; and if they choose b, other things will happen. This is clarity...
If you’ve been paying attention, the primary function of a rumor is to make sense of something that’s already unclear. Rumors help explain a confusing element of the world. In the soda rumor I opened with, the tensions between groups of people are scary and confusing. “Why are bad things happening?”

What would happen if you treated an abused mind in the same manner as you would a broken arm?
A substantial number of social issues, mental health issues, cognitive deficiencies, and poorly portrayed false victim scenarios could very well be avoided if we just simply take into account that:

You don't stop the lie. You stop the enabling.
Reinforcing a pattern of lies is like a two way street.
You don't have a problem on a one way street where someone tells a lie.

Level of self awareness
Notice when you're forming an opinion. At that point in your perception, stop for a second. Think for a second about your own level of self awareness.
