How to tell if someone is lying
Want to be able to spot a liar?
We’ll teach you how in today’s blog.
It’s often useful to be able to spot when someone is lying especially when it comes to dating. A few small fibs are natural but some people have something to hide and lie to disguise it. Here are our tips on how to spot the signs they arent being honest with you.
1) Liars will play with try to put an ostruction between themselves and the other person as subconscious way of attempting to build up a defence. So watch out if they start moving wine glasses, cups or salt shakers around the table.
2) Adrenalin rushes through the body when people are fibbing, which can mean they blink a lot more and their eyes dilate.
3) A genuine smile involves the slight crinkling of eyes and only lasts for less than five seconds. A fake smile doesn’t involve the eyes at at all and can go on much longer. They may also look a little more “glassy eyed” as if they are trying to stare right through you.
4) Watch out for their facial expressions and see if they match what they are saying, as they are hard to hide. For example, are they saying they are excited and happy, but their face is unsmiling and serious?
5) Listen very carefully. Liars will tend to overcomplicate their stories and specify every little detail.
They do this so they won’t be asked too many questions after. Listen out for exact timings and place names that most people would gloss over.
The same rules apply for spotting lies as for any other body language – you need to look for several signs together to be certain.
We all scratch our noses or shuffle our feet, so don’t be too quick to judge!
