From childhood, we are taught to speak only the truth and nothing but the truth. But in reality, everyone, at least sometimes, distorts reality. Most often this is not scary, but you have to deal with real liars. The ability to distinguish truth from lies is useful to everyone, because in fact it is not so difficult.
Instructions
Step 1
Listen to the other person's speech. If he tries to deceive you, then he answers with a slight delay, confused and hastily. Time can pass between words and expressions. In order to understand whether the interlocutor is lying to you or not, change the topic of the conversation. If you have a liar in front of you, he will gladly change the subject. The liar can also be given a voice. When a person is worried, the timbre of his voice rises and the pace slows down.
Step 2
A person can masterfully control his face, but it is very difficult to change the expression in his eyes. When in doubt about the honesty of the conversation, pay attention to your eyes. It is they who can betray the true mood and intention of the interlocutor. In addition, if he is lying, he will avoid meeting your eyes.
Step 3
Pay attention to gestures. When a person tries to hide the truth, he tries to take up as little space in space as possible. He draws his legs, as if shrinking and pinching. Trying to isolate himself from unpleasant conversation, he crosses his arms and legs, often touches his face. His gestures are messy and harsh. Anxiety can be expressed in fussy pacing around the room or nervous swinging of a leg.
Step 4
Building phrases can tell a lot too. If a person defends himself, gets confused in the testimony, then, most likely, he is lying. He can also use your words, repeat them to make the answer similar to the question asked. The answer can be vaguely constructed so that it can be interpreted in different ways. More often than not, people get confused about grammar and syntax. Listen and if you have a liar in front of you, you will notice inconsistencies in the conversation.
Step 5
If the interlocutor speaks at length, decorating the speech with epithets and adding additional details to it, we can conclude that he is dishonest. In order to get around an unpleasant moment, a person can use humor, distract you from the topic.
