We have all done it and also know that many people do it to us too.
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:
1. 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.
