People lie all the time, but depending on how skilled they are, it
can be difficult to determine when someone is lying to you. Do you know
how to recognize the signs that someone is lying to you? Some of the
signs are obvious while others are more subliminal, but there are ways
to catch someone in a lie, you just need to know what they are. Here are
some easy ways to recognize liars and catch lies:
1. A person who is lying to you won’t make eye
contact with you or they make too much eye contact. If a person is lying
they may feel you are scrutinizing them and they will look down at the
floor or away from your eyes. Some people try to stare you in the face
in a deliberate way because they feel like making eye contact will make
what they are saying more believable.
2. Liars avoid using contractions…. “I did NOT have
sexual intercourse with at woman”. This is an attempt by the liar to be
absolutely clear what they mean but it ends up making the story a lot
less believable. Stalling tactics are also common. The liar may ask you a
question like “where did you get that information?” while they try to
back peddle and come up with an explanation for your question.
3. Weird Body Language. Liars often fidget, turn
away from the person to whom they are speaking, blink rapidly, smile
less and have pitch changes in their tone of voice. They may cross their
arms which is a sign of being “closed” or trying not to reveal too much
information. Sometimes people fidget excessively when they are lying.
They could fidget with a part of their body or touch parts of their
face, an ear or a nose or play with keys or another item that they have
in their hand.
4. Liars provide additional information without
being asked for it. They seem to think that by embellishing their story
you will find it more believable. What happens is they tend to make the
story more complicated and less believable. The more elaborate the
story, the more likely that it is a fabrication and nothing near the
truth.
5. A person who is telling a lie will get defensive.
They will do everything in their power to deflect your attention away
from themselves and will get angry that you are questioning their
innocence. People who are telling the truth tend to go the opposite way
and go on the offense. This will become obvious to you when you are
trying to have a conversation with a person and they try to change the
subject or move the conversation in a different direction.
6. If a person is lying they tend to over-embellish
insignificant details while avoiding important ones. Exaggerated details
make the liar feel better, but the person who is hearing the lie will
start to get the feeling that something is definitely amiss. This can
make it easier to catch a person in a lie because you can jot down
details of the story that you are being told and then ask questions
about those details later to see if they are still the same.
7. Watch the eye movements of the person. If a
person is remembering something they tend to move their eyes up and in a
left direction if they are right handed. If they are making something
up, their eyes wil move up and to the right. Left handed people do
similar movements but in the opposite direction. People blink rapidly
(“eye flutter”) when they lie or they may rub their eyes. Eyelids also
tend to close a little bit longer than a normal blink if a person hears
something or sees something they they do ont like. Hand movements
towards the eyes can be a further indication of “blocking out” the
truth.
8. Some people sweat more when they are telling a
lie. Measuring perspiration is one of the markers of a polygraph test
but is not an indication on its own of a person telling a lie. Some
people sweat more when they are nervous or if they are shy. Sweating
together with blushing, trembling and difficulty swallowing can be a
clear better indication that someone that is lying to you.
9. Watch for micro expressions. The true measure of a
person’s emotions will quickly flash across their face at the beginning
of a conversation. It could be a half smile that lasts for five seconds
or a worried look that lasts the same amount of time. These micro
expressions are sometimes noticed by people subconsciously and they tend
to know right away that a person is lying, although they do not know
how they know this. A lot of people tend to feel a “gut instinct” about
something such as a person who is lying, and this is usually as a result
of seeing a micro-expression during a conversation. The micro
expression is quick but if you watch for it you can see it.
10. Ask the liar to repeat their story again. If the
story is fabricated it can be very difficult to remember all of the
details that they gave to you the first time around. You may notice that
the person looks very uncomfortable and worried about what they are
going to say to you when you ask them to repeat details that they
clearly made up the first time around.
Most of the time it is easy to tell when someone is lying to you
because you feel it and you know that the person is not being one
hundred per cent truthful. If you start to look more closely at the
person’s behavior and movements, you will start to notice a lot more
things more easily. At first you may have chalked these things up to a
gut feeling, but soon you will see that you are more observant than you
had originally thought. Liars are easy to spot when you follow some main
guidelines and start to be more observant of the person that you are
talking to.
