How to use "Deceptiveness" in context?
There is no one word that accurately describes the feeling of being deceived. To be deceived is to be undermined by someone or something that is supposed to be reliable, truthful, or trustworthy. This can be done intentionally or unintentionally, and it can ruin the trust and feelings of security that are crucial to a healthy relationship. Deception can come in many forms, from telling a white lies to purposely misleading someone about the nature of an event. No matter the circumstance, deceit can often have negative consequences.
Deception can make it difficult to establish trust, which can lead to conflict and hurt feelings.
