There are no 100% ways to identify a real liar. However, the lie itself is very easy to recognize.
Want to catch your vis-à-vis in a lie? Then listen to him carefully and notice these details.
Frequent head tilts.
This verbal sign can indicate that a person is choosing words to give a favorable answer instead of telling the truth.
Have you noticed that your vis-à-vis has involuntarily tilted his head or thrown it back? It turns out that he is an ordinary liar, trying to fool you.
Rapid breathing and an anxious appearance
Lying is much harder than telling the truth. The problem is that the truth is always difficult and shocking. Have you noticed that the person you are talking to is breathing quickly or getting nervous?
He may not want to discuss the topic you brought up. That's why he started to falter and gulp air.
Sensitive people often turn red or blush when they lie to their interlocutor. Naturally, this feature cannot be ignored. You will immediately expose a liar who blushes before your eyes, no doubt about it.
Excessively calm or, conversely, active behavior
Of course, the liar is afraid, he does not want to be caught in a lie and disgraced. Therefore, he tries to hide his true emotions from you.
Some liars suddenly become unperturbed, others talk non-stop, others burst into laughter. But their soul is not in the right place, you can see it in their eyes.
Confused statements, repetitions and hesitations in speech
Your interlocutor suddenly started to ramble or repeat the same words many times? It turns out that he is deceiving you.
The liar's brain works against him, indicating the unreliability of the information he gives. This means that the person has memorized and rehearsed all the answers before voicing them to you.
A real information explosion
Often, a lying counterpart tries to burden a trusting person with important and very personal information.
But these are just meaningless details. The perfect way to switch the interlocutor's attention.
Has your conversation with a suspicious guy suddenly become pleasant and confidential? Did you hear something similar from him: “I am sharing my most intimate things with you, never doubt my sincerity and honesty!”? Things are bad – you are dealing with a dodgy liar.
Mouth covered with a palm
Many deceivers abuse this gesture on a subconscious level.
If you encounter such a phenomenon during a conversation, it means that a dishonest interlocutor is trying to lead you by the nose. It is as if he is stopping himself from blurting out too much. It turns out that he has a lot of secrets.
Neck covered by hand
This sign also gives away a lying vis-a-vis completely. Notice such features more often, and the keys to the solution will be in your pocket.
A person is afraid that his own deception will harm him. That is why his hand automatically reaches for his neck. This action is dictated by the vigorous activity of the brain.
A nervous or anxious state
The deceiver may swing his leg, tap his fingertips on the table, or fiddle with small objects in his hands.
All these actions indicate the insecurity and embarrassment of the vis-à-vis in some cases. Liars also often demonstrate such behavior. They simply cannot sit still because of their own lies.
A confused look, eyes darting from side to side
Often, the lying counterpart simply looks down, trying to avoid eye contact. As is well known, it is difficult for a deceiving person to look into the eyes of the interlocutor. But an honest counterpart has nothing to hide, so he does not turn away.
An attentive, drilling gaze
This is already the opposite sign. Only bold and self-confident liars dare to use such a trick. They are not ashamed to stare at their vis-à-vis.
On the contrary, with a fixed gaze they try to convince him of their crystal honesty and openness. Such a trick often works. But don't let it mislead you.
Long silences between statements and responses
A lying counterpart needs time to come up with something plausible. For example, an excuse for himself.
If you continue to persistently bombard your confused interlocutor with questions, you will be surprised how long it takes him to find the words to answer. This is the best confirmation of a lie.
