It's easy to recognize a lie. Psychologists have long deduced several basic gestures and behavioral characteristics of liars. By paying attention to them, you can easily expose the liar.
Instructions
Step 1
Watch your emotions. If there is a break between words and their emotional confirmation, then you are probably lying. For example, you were told that your dish was incredibly tasty, and only after a few seconds they vigorously nodded their heads in confirmation of the words. In addition, in a liar, the expression of emotions will occur more clearly: the smile is the widest, the joy is too feigned, the indignation is too violent. A person who speaks the pure truth will have an emotional reaction without delay, simultaneously with what is said.
Step 2
A person, without saying something, will not be able to portray sincerity. That is, facial expressions will not be involved in the expression of emotions on the whole face, but only on a part of it. For example, he can only smile with his mouth, while the muscles of the cheeks, eyes and nose remain motionless. Learning to control and subordinate to your tasks the expression of the eyes is almost impossible. Therefore, if you are not a talented actor, but an ordinary person, then by the eyes you can easily guess whether he is telling the truth, the more he will avoid meeting your eyes.
Step 3
When a person begins to lie, he psychologically shrinks, that is, subconsciously tries to occupy as little space as possible. He can hunch over, cross his legs or squeeze his legs tightly, squeeze his arms or cross them, tilt his head strongly, pulling it into his shoulders. He seemed to be preparing to "defend". In a moment of insincerity, a person unconsciously can put some object between you, as if creating a "protective barrier".
Step 4
Involuntary hand movements can also betray a liar. The hand itself will stretch itself to touch the tip of the nose or to the earlobe, rub the eye or forehead. A person can begin to strongly gesticulate, as if reinforcing the truthfulness of his words with gestures.
Step 5
The liar often asks clarifying questions, unconsciously giving himself time to think: "What do you mean?", "Where did you get this?", "Why are you asking about this?" At the same time, having formulated his thought, the person will either not give a clear answer, evade the topic, or he will unnecessarily detail his story, say more than is required, filling in the pauses in the conversation. A person telling a lie can get confused in their own details, instantly forgetting already voiced fantasies. In addition, he will most likely start to formulate sentences grammatically incorrectly.
