Do you feel that your interlocutor is lying or being disingenuous?

It might make sense to force the person to tell the truth.

It is possible that the information you ultimately receive will be very important to you.

There is a psychological technique that instantly turns a lying and secretive interlocutor into an honest, open and sincere one.

Of course, it is impossible to talk about the 100% effectiveness of this method. Perhaps your counterpart will not reveal the truth, despite all your tricks.

However, in many cases the trick described below still turns out to be effective.

How to force a person to tell the truth

Never get angry with your interlocutor, don’t threaten him or bombard him with questions!

Stay calm and confident.

Ask the right question clearly and briefly. Listen carefully to the answer.

Feel like your friend is clearly lying or not telling you something? Just keep quiet and look your vis-à-vis straight in the eyes!

Most likely, the person standing in front of you will feel awkward.

He will probably come to the conclusion that you have figured him out.

In such a situation, people usually make a “concession” and become more talkative and honest, just to eliminate the awkward pause.
