In the modern world, it is necessary to have the skill of communicating with other people. However, many people do not know how to determine whether the interlocutor is sincerely communicating with you, or is he telling a lie? For a full and successful interaction with society, you need to learn to read non-verbal signs that are unconsciously given by a person who tells a lie and realizes his insincerity. A liar can be recognized by obvious external signs, which are manifested in his behavior much more often than in the behavior of honest people.
Instructions
Step 1
Regardless of how a person himself relates to his lies, his psyche is in a state of stress when he tells a lie. Therefore, among the external manifestations of lies, one can distinguish stuttering, nervous coughing, yawning, too frequent blinking, uncertainty and trembling in the voice, reddening of the face, too frequent breathing and dry lips, as well as excessive sweating. Watch out for these manifestations of the interlocutor's bodily state - if they are pronounced, they may be deceiving you.
Step 2
In addition, the liar is often betrayed by facial expressions and gestures. An insincere person will not be able to look you in the eye - if you try to look him in the eye, he looks away. His gestures are impulsive, nervous and unnatural. See if the person constantly touches his face or hairstyle - this is a clear evidence of a lie, since the person subconsciously tries to protect himself from the deceived interlocutor.
Step 3
The liar often performs repetitive actions or movements to relieve anxiety - taps the table, snapping his fingers, shaking his leg. Try to ask the person a question - if he pulls away from you and tries to close, take a step back - this means that you are being deceived.
Step 4
You can also identify lies by verbal manifestations in a conversation. If the other person is lying, he will try to get away from the main topic, overloading you with useless and empty facts that do not mean anything, but create a sense of fullness of the conversation. As soon as you start talking about the main thing, the person will try to get away from the topic or laugh it off. Often, liars cannot quickly find the right words for an answer, so they answer using the words of the interlocutor.
Step 5
A liar, as a rule, is not distinguished by calmness during a conversation - hypertrophied emotions break through in his behavior: too violent joy, violent indignation, sharp changes in the timbre and volume of the voice, too bright and false reactions to your words - all these manifestations warn you of a lie. Offer the interlocutor to change the subject - you will notice that he will take your initiative with relief and pleasure, so as not to feel the need to lie.
