Psychologists say that in most cases, lies can be identified. No matter how hard a lying person tries, his body, on a subconscious level, will send certain "beacons" that he is trying to deceive. And you can find out that they tell you a lie by simply observing the face of the interlocutor.
Instructions
Step 1
Children, when they tell a lie, cover their mouths with their hands. At a later age, a person retains this habit. When he tries to cheat, his hands subconsciously reach for his mouth. But with the mind, a person understands that this should not be done. And so it tries to change the movement. That is, if your interlocutor constantly touches his face with his hand during a conversation, this is one of the first signs that they are lying to you. But a single case does not mean anything, a person can really itch his nose. Therefore, watch carefully so as not to jump to conclusions.
Step 2
If during the entire conversation a person supports his chin with his hand, this may also indicate that he is trying to deceive you. Usually this pose looks like this: the thumb rests on the cheek, the palm covers part of the lips.
Step 3
Watch the expression on your interlocutor's face. If a person is telling the truth, his words correspond to facial expressions. For example, he says he is happy and smiling. If a person is lying, his speech does not match the expression on his face, or emotions appear out of sync. For example, he says that he is very pleased, but a smile on his face appears a few seconds earlier or later (which happens more often) these words.
Step 4
Observe the gaze of the interlocutor. If he is lying, he will likely avoid looking you in the face. Men who tell lies tend to look at the floor, while women tend to look at the ceiling. If your interlocutor is familiar with non-verbal psychology, then, on the contrary, he may constantly look you in the eyes, proving that he is truthful.
Step 5
Study the emotions of the interlocutor. If he is lying, then they will change dramatically. For example, he just sat with a frowning face, and a second later he was smiling, but the smile also disappears suddenly. A person who has been told something pleasant or funny begins to show emotion gradually. First, an expression of joy appears in the eyes, then small mimic wrinkles appear, and only then a sincere and open smile appears on the face. It also disappears gradually. In a person who is trying to cheat, emotions change dramatically.
Step 6
The smile of a lying person is insincere, only the lips are involved, the eyes remain cold. Or it can be asymmetrical when you only smile with one half of your mouth. This applies to the manifestation of almost all emotions. An asymmetrical facial expression most often indicates that the person is trying to lie. The right and left sides of the face are influenced by the different hemispheres of the brain. The left hemisphere controls a person's thoughts and speech, while the right hemisphere is responsible for emotions. The work of the right hemisphere is reflected in the left half of the face. Therefore, if you want to understand whether they are lying to you or not, pay more attention to this part.
