Answer

You're welcome. You could post a new question with some of the other words that confuse you. Perhaps your confusion really has to do with connotations, but it might also simply be that you need a better understanding of what the words that confuse you actually mean. http://www.learnersdictionary.com often offers some fairly clear explanations of what words mean and also has examples of how to use them.

Answer

Thank you for the answer! It is what I wanted!  =)

Answer

To “lie” and “deceive” have different meanings, so in this case, which word you should choose doesn’t have anything to do with connotations. You should simply choose the meaning that you wish to express.

To deceive: to make (someone) believe something that is not true

To lie: to say or write something that is not true in order to deceive someone

Answer

Perhaps you should try to be more specific. It's not completely clear to me what you mean. 
It would normally be worse to call an overweight person "fat" than to call the person "big". The word "fat" has a negative connotation. Is it something like this you mean?
