Sometimes when we're talking to someone, they may do or say things that make us feel uncomfortable. There are several signs that someone is lying, even if it seems hard.
Several behaviours can show if someone is lying:
People often have "different" body language when they are lying. They might shrink, squirm, or hide their hands to hide the truth.
The way someone looks can show that they are lying. People who lie might bite their lips, make their faces bigger, or blink more quickly. These changes show that lying makes the brain work harder.
You can tell if someone is lying by the way they use grammar, tone, and speech. When they change, they might talk faster, louder, or less loudly. In addition, your words may become clearer and more detailed.
Liars often cover or close their eyes and mouths when they talk. This is a common way to try to hide lies.
Listen to how they describe themselves: The way someone talks about themselves can also show if they are lying. Liars don't use "I" or "me" or other words that refer to themselves. In this way, they consciously separate themselves from lies.
Most people have to think about their answer to "What did you do over the weekend?" before they give it. Lyers say the same things over and over to escape pauses and to answer quickly.
Be honest. People who are honest want to be trusted. People who are lying say things like "I'm telling the truth" or other phrases to make it sound like they are telling the truth. In fact, honest people don't have to show anything.
Keep an eye out for contradictions; all lies have them. In other words, things you know don't happen in certain situations.
Ask something you wouldn't expect: People who lie think about it a lot. Of course, they think about what to ask other people. See what they say when you ask them a strange question.
People who lie often lie about how they feel to make their story seem more real. In other words, their feelings won't be real.
Watch out for micro-expressions, which try to hide how we really feel. You can tell if someone is lying by these small facial movements.
It's likely that someone is lying if they give you too much information, even things you didn't ask for. To get people to agree with them, they talk a lot and give too much information.
Body language, face expressions, and how someone talks can all tell you if they are telling the truth.
