Top Ten Signs To Know If Someone Is Lying by Nobody: 3:17pm On Jan 02, 2014 |
Nobody in this world is perfect. Therefore, no one can claim that he/she doesn’t lie at all. Lying gets necessary at some point of time. But a liar is a liar. He can’t get away with his lies. Liars tend to reveal their lies through their own expressions, behaviour or body language. Here are the top 10 signs that will help you catch a liar… 10. Anger: You must have heard the common saying, “attack is the best defence strategy.” Liars usually follow this saying word to word. Confused? Well, then try and express even the slightest of mistrust or doubt in the concerned liar, he will get nervous and will start pointing his notorious finger towards you. Why? Unlike a liar, a true heart will get furious if wrongfully judged. But he will keep aside his anger and will co-operate and help you find the actual truth. 9. Denial with extra emphasis: This is a very common habit of most of the liars. When interviewed and asked about a certain question which they actually wanted to hide, they, in haste, tend to use a very formal language to deny. They use affirmative sentences and words to make the listener believe in them. Negative words like did not, never ever, etc. are used frequently. This extra emphasis on denial triggers smart interviewers or listeners and they get confirmed of the fact that something is cooking up for sure. 8. Repetition: This is something that almost every liar does. They repeat the entire question before answering it. This gives them time to cook up some lie. They actually buy some time to fool the interrogator. Smart interrogators catch the liars before they even try to lie. 7. Body language and gestures: Truly said, “Body reveals it all.” Body speaks every bit of a truth. A careful observer can catch a liar by just observing his body language. A person lying on the bed when queried about something will sit instantly and start feeling uneasy if he is lying. Gestures assist the body language in unmasking the liars. While telling a lie, the liars get anxious and their anxiety takes the form of unconscious signals, such as tapping one’s lap, adjusting oneself, curling hair with fingers, etc. These grooming gestures are enough to know that the concerned person is lying. 6. Unusual behaviour and improper facial expressions: If you know the concerned liar well, you can easily figure out the instantly changed behaviour. Change in behaviour includes the change in degree of calmness and anxiety in any person. Upon being asked about something that the liar doesn’t want to tell, his calm will fly out of the window and he will feel at unease. It has been seen in many surveys that a calm person becomes anxious and an anxious person turns into calm one while being queried. Facial expressions like fake smile and cunning delight that rules the face after deceiving the other person are also revelation signs. Sharp listeners and careful observers hash the truth out of liars. 5. Inconsistency: Liars are usually inconsistent in the fable they narrate to deceive the interrogator. All an interrogator needs to do is interrupt the dear liar at every divergence. Ask him unexpected questions. In no time he will get irked and make everything easy for you to understand. 4. Escape and change the subject: The liars subconsciously step backwards, with their feet towards the exit. This way, they impel to get ready to escape out of the situation. They also try to create a physical bar between them and the interviewers by placing a cup of coffee or water bottle on the desk between them. One smart habit of the liars is changing the subject. Amidst talks or interview, they cleverly divert the topic in some other direction. Well then, you also need to give a smart blow. Keep reverting to the original topic and you will come across their desperation to escape the subject. 3. Voice and tone: While explaining things, a liar’s vocal tone often gets altered. Liars with lower pitch start speaking with higher pitch and vice-versa. Their tongue fumbles and they speak in a tone different from usual. Their hesitation to answer also comes into picture at times. 2. A long story: Liars tend to weave a web of lies by telling exaggerated stories. They give a little too much information during this process of story narration. However, once they finish up with their fable; ask them to narrate it back. Yes! Here you nab the liar. Liars will struggle hard to repeat their original performance. 1. Eye Contact: Eyes say it all. A person speaking truth maintains eye contact for around 60% of conversation. On the other hand, a liar will try and have more eye contact than this. However, a few liars do not make eye contact at all or hesitate to face the interviewer. This may also happen when the person is nervous. Therefore, a person engaging in more eye contact than necessary is more likely to be a liar than a person making no eye contact.
