The mechanism of human lies has been studied since ancient times. Knowing the main signs of deception, you can protect yourself from psychological pressure and recognize a liar in time according to certain criteria.
External signs
At the speech level, longer pauses are possible when answering a question, an excessively loud timbre of the voice, a change in tempo from fast to slow, the absence of logically constructed statements. You can also immediately recognize a lie if the interlocutor begins to praise you for no reason and try to divert the conversation in a different direction.
The purpose of this tactic of behavior is to divert attention by any means and make you automatically change the topic of conversation. Vigilance and constant monitoring of the partner will quickly bring a person to clean water. In doing so, do not hesitate to show that you suspect the other person of deception. Feeling that something was wrong, the liar will either end the dialogue or retreat on his own.
Hidden signs
The behavior of a person who is lying can be understood by gestures and facial expressions. Frequent touching of the face, nose, lips, averted gaze, scratching the nose, massaging the earlobe - all this testifies to the dishonesty of the partner. Additional signals are crossed arms and legs in a sitting position, excessive tension, a desire to turn away, busting fingers of any object or strand of hair.
As a rule, all of the above signs are manifested in a complex. In addition, you can notice inappropriate behavior for a person and a desire to end the conversation faster. Try changing the topic of the conversation to the opposite. If your partner does it quickly and with pleasure, then you should think about it. Do not forget to trust your intuition, which will tell you for sure that the interlocutor is cheating.
