It is unpleasant for everyone to be deceived. How often do we then curse ourselves for being too gullible! But in most cases, a lie can be recognized. Of course, these observations will help more when you communicate with an acquaintance, even a loved one, but if you are talking to a person for the first time, and all of the listed signs are present, it is highly likely that you are being lied to. Do not be too gullible, try to analyze the information you receive.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to the eyes. Often a person telling a lie does not look you in the eye, looks away.
Step 2
A common liar's gesture is scratching your nose, or earlobe, or neck, or rubbing your eyelids. It is as if he instinctively tries to close his mouth, not to let deceitful words betray him, but stops halfway, changes his movement.
Step 3
If a person suddenly begins to make too many unjustified movements near his face during a conversation, he is hiding something from you or lying.
Step 4
Take a closer look at the gestures, because a person who tells a lie is characterized by a desire to isolate himself, to close himself off from the interlocutor whom he is deceiving. He can cross his arms over his chest, cross his legs, pick up an object, sit half-turned, or even turn his back while talking.
Step 5
Pay attention to the rate at which the other person speaks. In a lying person, it changes: it is often faster, monotonous, with sudden pauses. He can answer questions with a delay, as if choosing words. At the same time, the story can be too fussy, with many unnecessary details, as if the deceiver is trying to hide his lie among other words.
Step 6
A pause for a liar is often uncomfortable - after all, during it the interlocutor can think over, analyze what has been said, so the liar tries not to allow silence, speaks, sometimes drastically changing the subject or telling a funny incident.
Step 7
You may also notice a mismatch between emotion and words. For example, a smile in which only the lips are involved, but not the eyes, not the muscles of the forehead and cheeks.
Step 8
It can also be hypertrophied, unnatural, overly theatrical expression of emotions - made laughter, unexpected feigned anger or resentment.
