Many of us are good at decoding when being lied to
while some of us struggle to identify
liars. Thus, it makes sense in knowing a bit about how to
decipher if somebody is lying. The following tips will help you identify a
liar:
Get Started with Reading the Liar’s
Body Language
It was once stated in a Quentin Tarantino movie that people
who have served time in prison have a typical way of walking, as if they
are carrying a few bricks on their shoulder. Such typical, body language
traits are present in liars too.
Many liars try not able to face their audience with an open
stance. Their palms might be folded tight and they might be a bit fidgety.
A tightly clinched fist or slight blushing on the face or around the ears
too is reflective of a lie.
However, the more seasoned liars can easily hide such
traits. These liars
can be found out by reading more into their face
rather than their body. Some of the most experienced liars too tend to
develop typical facial mannerisms when lying. This includes increased creasing
in their forehead or a nervous smile before answering questions.
Some liars tend to place their hands very firmly on the
chair or table as if they are holding on to these objects to save their
lives. This is essentially a way of de-stressing the body that is reacting
to the growing anxiety within them.
Catching Liars by Noticing their
Eyes
Those who are good at grasping the eye language have a much
better chance of find out if they are being lied to. Apart from the
seasoned crooks, most liars cannot hold their glare straight towards a
person. They tend to look around or divert their range of
vision, desperately hoping that their nervousness will not be revealed.
The most unskilled of liars have a tendency to look downwards when lying.
Their eyes tend to wander about. This is caused by their guilt that makes
it difficult for them to maintain eye contact.
Lookout for Inconsistencies to
Identify Liars
Even the more experienced liars can commit the mistake of
not remembering the story they had spun to hide the facts. This is
something you can use to your advantage. Just try to remember the things
the person you suspect of lying is saying. After a few minutes, question
about the smallest of details that the liar had mentioned. If the person isn't
an expert liar, he is bound to make mistakes in answering the question.
This is the easiest way to find out if you have been lied to.
Liars are Prone to Getting Anxious
Most folks suffer from some form of anxiety when lying. You
can use this to find out if somebody is lying. All you need to do is
watch-out for the typical signs that suggest an increased degree of
nervousness. Typical traits of a person getting
anxious when lying include sweating excessively, talking too
fast, getting fidgety with the legs or arms or stammering. For instance, a
person lying to you might repeatedly change his seated position, as if the
chair or sofa is making him feel very uncomfortable.
Catch Liars by Identifying
Superficial Talk
Most liars are prone to avoiding the subject which they fear
will expose their act. This can be easily identified. You need to notice
if a particular topic is making a person uncomfortable. The person you
suspect of lying might continuously try to change the subject
or ignore it with a nervous laugh. These are tell-tale signs of a liar.
Many liars create another kind of trace when communicating,
i.e. they are not very assertive. You might find the suspected person
giving very short or vague answers. This kind of superficial talk lacks
any degree of surety. This is a major indicator that the person isn't sure
what he is talking about, i.e. he is either lying or trying to cover-up
the facts
