"Everybody lies!" - says one doctor from a famous television series. But the minutes of truth become all the more valuable when the interlocutor does not lie, does not embellish or evade. You need to learn to notice this, so as not to accidentally offend a person with your mistrust.
Instructions
Step 1
There are several types of lies. The most famous is probably a lie for the sake of salvation. As a child, you lie to your mother that you ate soup for lunch, at the university - that your thesis project is almost ready.
Step 2
The second kind is the concealment lie. In almost any case, information can be presented in such a way that it will work for you, while hiding minor details.
Step 3
A lie for a catchphrase is to embellish your actions in order to gain respect for yourself.
Step 4
A manipulative lie is a deception in the usual sense of the word, calculated to get some action from the opponent with the help of lies. And provocative lies are designed to help you learn the truth from the interlocutor.
Step 5
Lies have their own symptoms. During the conversation, carefully observe the interlocutor. He will blink more often than usual, his voice will become monotonous and even slightly sleepy. He will not look in your face, but a little to the side. Before telling a lie, the person will pause.
Step 6
Recently, there has been plenty of information like this on how to recognize a liar in books and on the Internet. Of course, some people try to control themselves. But even such a lie can be easily recognized. Note that a self-controlled liar will have an unnatural smile, a tense face, and narrowed pupils (after all, he tries to look you in the eye, although he wants to turn his head away). Your interlocutor will give a lot of facts proving his innocence, which he would not have pronounced if his words were reality.
Step 7
Pay attention to the intonation of the other person. Pay attention to the pitch in the phrase in which the person was definitely not lying (for example, before starting the conversation, your friend said that he recently came from vacation or bought a new sweater). And based on intonation, draw conclusions about whether your interlocutor is lying. After all, even the phrase "I love you" can be pronounced in such a tone that it becomes clear - it means exactly the opposite.
Step 8
Gestures can also say a lot. It is difficult to believe a person who says that he knows what to do, and at the same time scratches the back of his head.
Step 9
However, you should not immediately conclude that a person is lying based on pauses in speech, changes in intonation and gestures. The person may be worried, perhaps, before meeting with you, some important event happened to him, and he still experiences emotions about this. In the end, your interlocutor may simply itch his nose. But wide-open eyes facing you, a calm voice and a relaxed posture can immediately tell that the person is telling you the truth.
