Well that all depends on what the lies she as says are. But if the lie is something that can not be forgiven ,then don't trust her but if the lie isn't so bad ,work it out. But the truth is shouldn't people always get a second chance in life?

So you can trust her or not, but the choice is yours.

What is humanistic theory?

Humanistic Theory (Maslow) The focus of the humanistic perspective is on the self, which translates into "YOU", and "your" perception of "your" experiences. This view argues that you are free to choose your own behavior, rather than reacting to environmental stimuli and reinforcers. Issues dealing with self-esteem, self-fulfillment, and needs are paramount. The major focus is to facilitate personal development. Two major theorists associated with this view are Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow.

Carl Rogers feels that each person operates from a unique frame of reference in terms of building Self Regard or their self concept. Self Concept is one's own belief about themselves. These beliefs stem, in part, from the notion of Unconditional Positive Regard and Conditional Positive Regard. Unconditional positive regard occurs when individuals, especially parents, demonstrate unconditional love. Conditioned positive regard is when that love seems to only come when certain conditions are met. Rogers theory states that psychologically healthy people enjoy life to the fullest, hence, they are seen as fully functioning people.

Abraham Maslow feels that individuals have certain needs that must be met in an hierarchical fashion, from the lowest to highest. These include basic needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, achievement needs, and ultimately, Self-Actualization. According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the needs must be achieved in order. For instance, one would be unable to fulfill their safety needs if their physiological needs have not been met.

Why do people say the F word in Spanish?

The question is a bit ambiguous, needs greater clarification to be answered. For example, if you mean 'the F*** word', it would in any case be 'the J****' word in Spanish. But what you intend by 'the F word' is no clearer than possibly 'the J word' is to you....

Why do people ask questions and answer their own questions?

Too often people will answer the question they just asked to promote or support their own point of view. They may also want to show off a bit. Either way, if the question is phrased well and the answer supplied is "correct" as posted, then WikiAnswers is better for it. Anyone who shows up and asks that question and finds it already asked and answered has benefited from this informational resource.

A good reason, though, for doing this is to supply information in a Q&A style. If you know something, and think it may be a question people want to know about, you can ask a question and supply the initial answer. Just remember that WikiAnswers is a wiki, which means your answer can and will be "edited mercilessly" by the Community at large. I personally think that it is really weird!

Why do women not like short men?

This is probably because it looks awkward, to sum it up. Usually, it makes sense when the woman is the submissive in the relationship and the male is the dominant one, or wears the pants. When the woman is taller, it makes the roles look reverse even if in reality they are not.

How much time in a lifetime does a person spend kissing?

Answer

Well. It depends if your sexually active. If you don't have a partner, then there's a possibility that you don't make out much. If you DO have a partner, then there's the possibility that you spend some of your time kissing.

Answer

I don't know if any statistics have ever been compiled on this exact thing. If there has been, I do believe that the percent of a person's lifetime spent kissing would actually be quite low. With only a few exceptions, most people don't have an available partner for a great many years of their life. Even those that do have a long term partner, the majority of their time is usually spent sleeping, working or going to school, tending to their hygiene, tending to their household chores, tending to their personal business (shopping, paying bills, doctor appointments, etc.), with only a few minutes to an hour or so spent actually kissing. The general population, taken on an overall basis, including those who have had not partner(s), those that have had a few partners, those that have had short term partners, and those who have had long term partners, the percentage of time spent kissing would likely be less than 1% of the time.

Why do we have bad people?

There are a number of reasons we have "bad" people. They mainly stem from inner conditions in the person. Here are some of the possibilities.

1. Insecurity - People who do bad things are often acting out of their own lack of self-worth.

2. Fear - A lot of people do bad things out of fear. For instance, if someone was not afraid of being caught, they would not kill witnesses to crimes.

3. Greed - A lot of bad acts are committed out of greed. People may feel they are entitled to have more than they do.

4. Jealousy
- Someone may kill someone to take their lover or kill someone because they have something intangible that they don't have.

5. Hatred
- Some people hate members of certain groups. Others hate specific people.

6. Laziness - Some commit crimes because they are too lazy to do meaningful work.

7. Anger, lack of control - Some people just snap and lose their temper. This is often due to emotional immaturity. Many crimes are committed in a moment of rage or other passion.

8. Need to humiliate, degrade, or control - Rapists and sadistic killers have this need to humiliate, depersonalize, degrade, or control others.

9. Extremism and radical beliefs - Terrorists, bombers, and family annihilators tend to operate under the influence of extremist beliefs.

How can you tell if you are a compulsive liar?

Usually compulsive liars are not confident individuals and they feel the need to dramatize certain events in their lives to impress others. These are some of the signs of a compulsive liar:

If the compulsive liar did something wrong and someone else found out they'd lie their way out of it. Telling others about things in their life that didn't happen. Dramatizing events in their life that didn't go down the way it did. Lying over silly things such as borrowing something from someone and denying they ever had it. Lying about other people. Constantly blaming others for the problems one gets themselves into.

These are but a few. If a person has been told they are a compulsive liar they probably are. Compulsive liars often don't mean to be this way, so professional help does help them balance out their lives, face themselves and not be afraid of being who they are or telling the truth and taking the consequences for their own actions.

How should you criticise others?

Should you criticise others .....not if you do not want them to criticise you. Criticism can be a soul destroying thing for both the person who thinks they are in a position to do so, (let he who is without sin cast the 1st stone and all that) and for the person being criticised. I always say be careful what you say.....
