How To Know If Someone Is Lying

Unfortunately, in this world lies are the order of the day. It is difficult to know nowadays if someone is lying to us or telling us the truth, since many people lie to us constantly to try to achieve their goals.

The saying that a liar is caught sooner than a lame person sometimes seems like a lie, since many times we realize too late that a person we love has been skillfully deceiving us all this time, which is constant suffering. for us and can cause irreparable damage to our lives.

Since it’s bad to get paranoid and drive away all your friends, family and people you love just thinking they’re lying, it’s more effective to learn to detect lies. Many books have been written on psychology, NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) and human behavior that explain in great detail how to detect a liar.

If you really like this topic, I recommend books like “manual to detect lies”. However, I have condensed this information for you in this small article, which will serve you very well to detect liars and expel them from your life or make them change their behavior.

What do you need to know if someone is lying?

• Be observant.
• Have a good memory.
• Be insistent.
• Want to know the truth, since it is painful.

Instructions to know if someone is lying

1. Body language: We can detect many liars based on their body language, that is, the involuntary movements they make with their bodies.
   1. Eyes: The eyes are a good indication. If they are right-handed, they will move to the left when lying and to the right when telling the truth, and if they are left-handed, it will go the other way. This is because by moving your eyes to the opposite side, it shows that you are using the creative part of the brain.
   2. People sweat when they get nervous, since the body undergoes a stressful situation.  If we make the liar nervous, he may lose his temper and sweat, which is an indication that he is lying.
   3. Nervous ticks: Ticks such as winking or scratching the head are usually indicative of nervousness, which is why they may be lying to us
   4. Touching your face: Touching your face is synonymous with thinking. When people lie they often need to think about what to tell you, which makes them touch their faces.
   5. Others: There are other body indications such as closed postures (crossing arms and legs in front), not looking at your face and moving from one side to the other without stopping.
2. Their versions are contradicted: This is typical of the ghostly friend who tells you things about his life that are not true. The key to catching this type of person is to have a good memory, since they don’t usually have it and they change their versions. For example, instead of finding 200 euros, sometimes he says it’s 250, that girl who has flirted in the bathroom has become a flirt in a bar or the time of the supposed company meeting has changed.
3. Excusatio non petita, accusatio manifesta: This is a Latin phrase that I say a lot. It basically means that when someone gives you an excuse that you haven’t asked for, they usually show guilt. It’s like when a flan disappears and without asking, the child comes to say that it wasn’t him so you can trust him and not accuse him, when he really is the culprit.
4. Avoids You: People generally don’t like to lie, which is why many people will avoid you to avoid having to face admitting they are lying or to avoid getting caught. You will notice the liar as more elusive than usual and will be defensive in questions and inquiries on your part.
5. A movie has been made: People are somewhat ghostly, in addition to changing the version, they grow up. The lies of these individuals are often too exaggerated to be true. What they usually do is take something that really happened to them, like talking to a girl, and turn it into something exaggerated like I hooked up with a girl. If the story is not congruent with your friend’s personality or with his habits (for example, it’s not common for an ugly guy to flirt like that so easily) it’s a lie. Also, be wary of overly prepared stories that they tell you as if they remembered yesterday, since that is prepared for sure.

Like the one who tells you that he has traveled to the bottom of the sea this summer and has only been on the beach

Tips to know if someone is lying

• Signs in combination: Sometimes signs of liars can appear in people who tell the truth, so those who have many signs and not just one should be taken as liars.  Some examples of sincere people with signs are from people who have changed their version due to having a bad memory, to people who are intimidated by you and show nervous body language, to people so insecure that they apologize without asking because they are often accused without reasons (for example, the chubby class who is always blamed for farting, will excuse himself to avoid mockery).
