Many have experienced a situation where the words of the person whom you believed turned out to be a lie. To learn that you have been tricked is not only unpleasant, but also offensive. First of all, it is insulting to feel stupid and incapable of recognizing someone else's lies. If you suspect that the person you are talking to is not entirely forthcoming, be careful. There are signs that make it easy to figure out a liar.
Instructions
Step 1
Liars usually try not to talk on a slippery topic for a long time, because the longer the conversation lasts, the more chances that the truth will come out. But the innocent are ready to discuss the current situation as much as they want, because they try their best to prove their innocence and clear their good name.
Step 2
Pay attention to the presence of details. A liar simply has no time to think over all sorts of little things, he is focused on keeping the main lie in his head. Therefore, the fewer the details, the more likely it is that not only them, but the incident itself did not exist in nature.
Step 3
The numbers are very important. The deceivers experience an irresistible craving for round and "anniversary" numbers. Also, inexperienced liars often unreasonably overestimate and exaggerate the scope of the event.
Step 4
Inexperienced deceivers always find themselves in extreme situations that show them only from the good side. The deadlines for the disruption of work are always extremely respectful, and the delays were caused by the fact that the liar was transferring an elderly, feeble old woman across the road. But this rule applies only to beginning liars. Experienced people do not hesitate to slander themselves.
Step 5
Include assurances in your speech such as "my word of honor, truth be told, I swear to God," and the like. Their abundance most often indicates premeditated deception. If your interlocutor is confident in his truthfulness, he does not pay attention to how you correlate the content of his words with reality.
Step 6
Another evidence of the spoken untruth is the pauses between words. If this is not a speech in front of an audience, accompanied by the usual excitement, then most likely your interlocutor is mentally trying on how true his words sound, and therefore speaks a little slower than usual.
Step 7
Watch for fleeting changes in movements and facial expressions. It has long been noticed that liars avert their eyes, rub their nose, straighten their hair, or change the position of their legs. Even the most gifted swindlers involuntarily change their facial expressions or clench their fingers. The more motor movements, the higher the chance that you are being told a lie.
Step 8
The liar often tries to win over you and get you sympathetic. For this, phrases are used: “I am, like you, sure”, “I am the same as you”, “You must understand me”, “Of course, you will agree with me” and the like.
