How to understand what lies to you: 11 signs

Most of the people you talk to daily on are still liars. American scientists conducted an experiment and found out that 60% of people lie during a ten-minute conversation on average 2-3 times. Rare people authentically answer questions like: "Did you eat breakfast today?" Or "What time did you wake up?" This, of course, can be a serious lie, but more often it is from the category "easier to lie than to explain." However, if you really want to know if the person answers the truth, you are lucky: the invention is fairly easy to detect. It is enough to know the signs. First of all, you should pay attention to the behavior and body language, to understand what actions a person does by virtue of habit, and which ones because he is lying. You also need to note what your interlocutor says and the expression on his face at these words. Next we will tell you about 11 reliable signs.

Rapid change of head position

If you notice that your interlocutor suddenly makes a sudden head movement, when you ask him a direct question, he can lie about something. Usually, the person pulls his head in the shoulders or throws it back.

The frequency of breathing changes

When someone lies to you, he can start breathing hard and intermittently. This is a reflex action. With such a breath, the shoulders rise higher than when they are calm. In fact, a person will look out of breath, because of his lies, his heart rate increases, because he is nervous or tense.

The man freezes

A widely spread version is that when a person lies, he starts to fidgeting and fiddling with various objects. Yes, this may be true, but a brighter sign will be if your interlocutor suddenly becomes silent. This is an indicator of internal struggle. When you say the truth, your body also participates in the conversation, producing reflex unconscious movements. However, when you lie, the brain needs to control both what you say and what you do with it.

Repetition of a word or phrase

This is because liars try to convince themselves and you in their words. It can also be a way to buy time until they come up with a reliable answer.

Touching your lips

A characteristic sign of a lie is a touch to your mouth when a person does not want to answer a question or when he says untruth. This reflex action can say that the liar does not want to disclose all the details of the question. That is, with the help of physical influence forbids yourself to say something.

Liars instinctively cover vulnerable parts of the body

This can be the neck, stomach, chest, forehead. It is a reflex effort to protect yourself from the consequences of your lies.

Frequent change of leg position

A frequent change in the position of the legs will indicate that the interlocutor is nervous. Any pose will seem uncomfortable to him. This sign also indicates that the person wants to end the conversation and quickly get out of the unpleasant situation. This is one of the key ways to detect a liar. Just look at his feet - they clearly "say" more than your interlocutor.

Too much information you did not ask about

When someone on a simple question starts up long, lengthy explanations with a bunch of unnecessary information that you did not ask about, there is a high probability that they are lying to you. Liars always report many unnecessary details, hoping that if they look open, they will be believed.

Difficulty with pronouncing words

Difficulties with a clear pronunciation of words come from the fact that the nervous system is excited and during the stress automatically reduces the amount of saliva. This dries the oral mucosa. Hence the well-known saying about unwillingness to say: "The tongue has stuck to the sky."

Hostility and aggression

If you feel a lie in a conversation and have hinted to the interlocutor about it, he will immediately become hostile and aggressive, take a defensive position, reproach you for unbelief. As a rule, such a violent reaction will point to a lie.

Long gaze in the eye

A common opinion is that liars do not look in the eye. However, in most cases this is not the case. More often than not, people deliberately keep eye contact to control you and manipulate behavior. It also happens because the liar wants to make sure that you have fallen for his lies. When people speak the truth, their eyes will sometimes shift aside, unconsciously wander around the surrounding people or things. A long, long gaze is an unnatural reaction when living calmly.
