10 Signs Someone Is Lying To You by izzyboi(m): 10:12am On Sep 06, 2018
1. It may become difficult for them to speak: A guilty
person is under stress when questioned. They then find it
difficult to speak because the autonomic nervous system
decreases the flow of saliva when the body is under
stress, which dries out the membrane of the mouth.

2. They may stare at you without blinking much: People
commonly avoid eye contact or blink rapidly when lying,
however, a good liar could go an extra mile to maintain
eye contact in an attempt to manipulate or intimidate you.
When someone stares at you without blinking much, you
should grow suspicious of them.

3. Inconsistency: When someone is inconsistent with the
stories they tell, this might be an indication of a lie. But
this alone is not reliable as many truthful people
remember additional details when asked to retell a story-
which means the stories will change.

4. Repeating the question: They could be trying to confirm
if they heard you right or trying to cook up a story. Note
this and weigh it with other signs of a lie.

5. Unnecessary superlatives: When someone uses words
like 'tremendous', 'actually', 'literally', 'absolutely' at
inappropriate times or when they use 'big grammar'
unnecessarily, they could be distracting you from the truth
or trying to enforce the lie they've told you.

6. They repeat words or phrases: Liars repeat words or
phrases because they're
I) trying to convince you
II) re-validating the lie in their minds.
III) buying themselves time to gather their thoughts.
An instance is when he or she repeats I didn't... I didn't...
I didn't over and over again.

7. They provide too much information: "When someone
goes on and on and gives you too much
information — information that is not requested and
especially
an excess of details — there is a very high probability that
he
or she is not telling you the truth," wrote Glass . They do
this in belief that you might believe they're telling you the
truth because of their openness.

8. A change in their voice: According to Gregg McCray; A
telltale sign is that there's a sudden change in the pitch
and tone of the voice of the individual
