The facade usually breaks due to two factors: time and pressure, which reveal the person's true nature and emotional vulnerabilities.

People fall for the halo effect because they focus more on the positive traits that are presented, assuming that these traits reflect the person's overall personality.

What is the 'halo effect' and how does it lead to deception or manipulation?

The halo effect is a cognitive bias where the positive perception of one trait influences the perception of other traits of a person. This can lead to deception or manipulation because people overlook negative traits or behaviors.
