That skill takes a little practice but once mastered it is really fun! To get started, please stay tuned ...

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Face and Eye Detection

1. 

   
   
   Look for extremely small manifestations. It was the expression that glimpsed on his face for a hundredth of a second but revealed the true feelings that were being concealed by the lie. Some people are naturally very sensitive, but most people have to train themselves to detect these extremely small manifestations.
   • Normally, when a person lied, that microscopic expression would be an anxious mood, shown through furrowed eyebrows, and creating short wrinkles on the forehead.

2. 

   
   
   Look for signs such as touching your nose or covering your mouth. People tend to touch their nose when they lie, but when they tell the truth, they rarely do it. This is probably because when you lie, the adrenaline produced will accumulate in the capillaries in the nose, causing itchy and uncomfortable. Liars tend to cover their mouths or keep their hands close to their mouths to conceal lies. When their mouth becomes tense, lips purses, that is a sign of anxiety.

3. 

   
   
   Pay attention to eye movement. Often you can easily tell if someone is remembering or trying to make up a story based on eye movements. When people recall events, eyes glanced up to the left if they were right-handed. When right-handed people lie, their eyes will glance to the right, and left-handed people will be the opposite. Lying people also tend to blink faster ("wink"). Rubbing eyes is also a common symptom of lying, more common in men than in women.
   • Pay attention to the eyelids. When a person sees or hears something they disagree, the eyelids will close longer than when a normal wink. However, this change is so small that you have to know that normally in a stress-free situation, how the person blinks to be able to make an exact comparison. If the hand or finger is brought to the eye, it is also a sign that the person is trying to "hide" the truth.
   • Be careful when judging the truthfulness of someone's words based solely on eye movements. Recent scientific studies have raised skepticism about the idea that staring in a certain direction could be a sign that someone is lying. Wherever gaze is, many scientists don't have much to do with honesty.

4. 

   Don't assume that the presence or absence of eye contact is the only sign of honesty. Contrary to popular belief, liars don't always avoid eye contact. Naturally, people often don't look directly into the eyes, but look at fixed objects to focus and recall things. The liar deliberately looks directly into the eyes to look more honest; That skill can be practiced to overcome insecurity and to "prove" that the person is telling the truth.
   • Indeed, it has been shown that some liars tend to "increase" the level of eye contact in response to the fact that investigators often use this criterion to evaluate the level of eye contact. honest. Therefore, a person should only rely on a person's eyes of disgust when asked questionable questions as an indication of whether or not the person is feeling stressed or not.

Method 2 of 4: Verbal Lie Detection

1. 

   Pay attention to the person's voice, which can be a sign to help you spot a lie easily. The person suddenly begins to speak faster or slower than usual, or the tension causes high-pitched or shaky voice. Stuttering or stuttering can also be signs of a lie.

2. 

   Pay attention to exaggerated details. See if the person is talking too much, like, "My mom lives in France, it's beautiful, isn't it? Don't you like the Eiffel Tower? It's clean." Too much detail may reveal that the person is trying to convince you to believe what the person said.

3. 

   Watch for impulsive emotional gestures. Their timing and duration seem to vanish when people lie. It is the suspect who has practiced his answer (or has prepared it) and tried to chatter something, whatever, just to fill the silence.
   • If you ask a question and the person immediately answers you, the person is most likely lying. Chances are, they've rehearsed the answer many times, or have come up with the answer just to get it done.
   • Another manifestation is the lack of time-related events, such as "I went to work at 5 a.m., by 5:00 p.m. he was already dead." In this seemingly blunt answer, all that happened between the two moments has been "conveniently" ignored.

4. 

   Pay attention to the person's response to your question. Honest people won't feel the need to defend themselves, since they're telling the truth. The deceiver feels the need to make up for their lies, so they may use offensive, deflector or delayed tactics.
   • An honest person often gives an even more detailed explanation when others doubt his or her story. And people who want to deceive will not be willing to reveal much, but only repeat what they have prepared.
   • Listen for a very short one-minute delay when the person answers the question. An honest answer will be recalled very quickly. The liars need to reconsider what they have told others to avoid conflict and make up new details if needed. Note that sometimes people look up and are just trying to remember something, not they are lying - it might just be a natural instinct.

5. 

   Be careful with the respondent's wording. Expressive language can give you clues as to whether or not the person is cheating. That is:
   • Repeat with you word by word as you answer the question.
   • Use procrastination tactics, such as asking to repeat questions. Other procrastination strategies include complimenting a great question, saying that the answer is not simply yes or no, or using confrontational responses like "It depends on what you mean. What does X mean "or" Where did you get this information? "
   • Avoid using the abbreviated form, namely saying "I did not do it" instead of "I did not do it." They are trying to clarify the meaning of that lie.
   • Talking messy and meaningless; Liars often stop in the middle of a sentence, start over, and cannot finish the sentence.
   • Use their humor or sarcasm to avoid the problem.
   • Use statements like "to be honest," "to be blatant," "to be completely honest," "I've been taught to never lie," etc ... These could also be signs of deceive.
   • Quickly answer "No" to answer an affirmative question, like "You only cleaned these pots through the speaker, right?", The person will answer "No, I don't at all. clean them through the speaker "as if they were trying not to be judged for a delayed response.

6. 

   Pay attention when the person repeats what they say. If the suspect kept using the same words over and over again, it could be a lie.When making up a story, people will try to recall certain phrases or words to sound plausible. When asked to explain again, the liar will use the same "convincing" statements again.

7. 

   
   
   Note when the speaker misses the sentence. Halfway speaking is when an intelligent liar tries to steer attention away from himself by interrupting himself while speaking and switching to another topic. One can skilfully turn to another story like: "I'm going - Hey, did you cut your hair last weekend?"
   • Be especially wary of the compliments of the suspect. Liars know well that others often respond positively to compliments, and praising someone can give them a chance to escape the questioning. Be wary of unexpected compliments.

Method 3 of 4: Body Language Lie Detection

1. 

   
   
   Check to see if they sweat. People sweat more when lying. In fact, measuring sweat is one of the ways the lie test uses to determine lies (also known as "lie detector" in movies). However, if this alone does not always yield reliable results. There may be people who sweat more because they are nervous, shy, or because of a condition that causes sweat production more than usual. This is just one of the many other signs to look for, such as shaking, blushing, and difficulty swallowing.

2. 

   
   
   Pay attention when the person nods. If the person nods or shakes his head contrary to what is being said, this could be a sign, called "inconsistency".
   • For example, a person who claims that they did something, like "I cleaned the pots very well" but shakes his head, the truth is that those pots have only been washed through tangerines. Unless thoroughly practiced, this is an unintentional error that is easy to make because the body's reactions are often so revealing.
   • Sometimes, when questioned, the person hesitates a bit before nodding. An honest person would nod his head in addition to a good saying with an answer "at the same time" when the question was asked; If you are cheating on purpose, that reaction may be delayed a bit.

3. 

   Notice whether the person is fidgety or not. One sign that someone is lying is that they are not sitting still, or fidgeting, or fiddling with anything around them, due to an amount of anxiety energy produced in fear discovered. To release this energy, crooks often play with furniture, handkerchiefs or a part of their body.

4. 

   Observe the level of imitation. People often naturally mimic the behavior of the people they are interacting with. It's a way of building relationships and expressing excitement. Liars are less likely to follow suit because they are trying to make up a story to make the listener feel confident. The following examples will warn you that something is not right:
   • Lean to the other side. When people tell the truth and have nothing to hide, they often turn to the listener. In contrast, scammers often turn in the opposite direction, as a sign they don't want to reveal more information than is necessary. Turning away may also mean that they don't like listening or are not interested, and just want to end the conversation as quickly as possible.
   • For honest people, head movements and body movements are often mimicked due to the interaction between the speaker and the listener. And people who are trying to lie are reluctant to do this, so the expression of not copying their head movements and movements may indicate that they are hiding something. You may even spot them deliberately moving their hands over to another position or looking away.

5. 

   Pay attention to the person's throat. When lying, people often try to clear their neck by swallowing saliva or clearing their throat. Lying causes their bodies to increase their adrenaline production, causing their saliva to produce more, and then less. When the mouth produces a lot of saliva, subject tries to swallow. When the mouth is dry, the person clears his throat.

6. 

   Check the person's breathing. The scammer usually breathes faster, sighing after several short breaths. The mouth will therefore become dry (causing frequent coughing). Again, it is because their bodies are under stress, causing the heart to beat faster and the lungs to need more air.

7. 

   Also pay attention to the behavior of other parts of the body. Observe the person's hands, arms, and legs. In less stressful situations, people are often very relaxed, taking up a lot of space through spreading their arms and arms, and even stretching their legs comfortably. For a liar, these parts tend to shrink, stiffen and point towards their bodies. The person may feel their hands on the face, ears, or back of the neck. Crossing arms, crossing legs, and limiting hand movement can be signs that the person is not willing to disclose information.
   • Lying people often avoid moving their hands when this is a very common act in a debate or conversation. The warning sign may be that the subject will avoid pointing the finger, spreading the hand, or touching the fingertips together (when the fingertips are grouped together in a triangular pattern, indicating that the person wants to speak things are thinking), etc.
   • Need to check the knuckles. Lying people while sitting still will hold onto the edge of a chair or other objects until their knuckles turn white without their knowledge.
   • Grooming is also a common sign of scammers, like stroking hair, adjusting ties or playing with cuffs.
   • Keep in mind the following two warnings:
     • Scammers may be deliberately sluggish to create a "relaxed" feeling. Yawning and boredom can be a sign that they are trying to act, being indifferent to the situation to hide their deception. They relax doesn't mean they don't lie.
     • Bear in mind that the above signs may be just signs of anxiety, not a lie. The person in question may not necessarily feel nervous about lying.

Method 4 of 4: Interrogation Lie Detection

1. 

   Be careful. While dishonesty and deception may be detected, there are times when you are unfairly judging others. Lots of "signs" like shyness, shyness, clumsiness, or a feeling of shame / low self-esteem can make the other person look like a liar. It is easy for a person to be under pressure to be mistaken for deception because the symptoms of stress are quite similar to those of a lie. Therefore, it is important to note a whole "chain" of suspicious behavior and reactions when observing whether a suspect is lying or not, since there will be no "Ah, that's it! " any obvious.

2. 

   Let's look at a whole. When assessing body language, speech and other signs of deception, the following factors must be considered:
   • Normally, if the person is not in the current questioned situation, is the person susceptible to undue stress?
   • Are there any cultural factors involved? Maybe this behavior is normal in one culture but is perceived as dishonesty in another.
   • Do you have a personal prejudice or prejudice against this person? You have want This person is a liar? Be careful, otherwise it will fall into a trap!
   • Has this person ever lied? Specifically, are they an experienced scammers?
   • Is there any motive? Do you have good reason to suspect they are lying?
   • Are you really good at detecting lies? Have you looked at the whole picture, or have you just stared at one or two signs?

3. 

   Spend time establishing relationships with the alleged scam and creating a comfortable atmosphere. Don't show them that you suspect the person is lying, try to mimic the person's body language and the pace of conversation.When questioning, act in a sensible, non-arbitrary manner. This will help keep them off guard and make the signs easier to read.

4. 

   It is necessary to establish reference data. That is how the person behaves when not lying. It helps you see if the way they are behaving right now is any different from their usual behavior. Start by getting to know people you don't know well and then move on - people often honestly answer basic questions about themselves. For those you already know, you can check the reference data by asking people what information you have the answer to.

5. 

   Need to learn how to detect deviation. Often when people lie, people will tell true stories, but will intentionally not answer your questions. If one person answers the question "Have you ever hit your wife?" with answers like "I love my wife so much, why can I do that?" then he is semantically speaking the truth but avoiding your main answer. This shows that he is lying or intentionally hiding something.

6. 

   Ask the person to tell the story again. If you're still not sure if they are telling the truth, ask them to repeat the story much times. It is difficult to duplicate untrue information. In the process of retelling the story they create, the liar may say something that is contradictory, untrue, or fabricated.
   • Ask the person to report the story back and forth. This is extremely difficult, especially when you ask that there are no missing details. Even a professional liar can hardly deceive perfectly if this method is applied.

7. 

   Glaring at the suspect with a skeptical look. If he is lying, he will soon become restless and restless. If you're telling the truth, the person will often show anger or frustration (like pursing lips, frowning, lifting eyelids and glaring back).

8. 

   Be quiet. A liar can find it very difficult to fill in the silence you create. He wants you to believe the lies they fabricate; therefore, silence keeps them from knowing if you are convinced. If you are patient and quiet, a lot of scammers will continue to ramble to fill that void, add more and most likely make mistakes right away without being questioned!
   • The liars will try to see if you believe the story they made up. If you don't show any signs, many will feel fidgety.
   • If you are a good listener, you will avoid interrupting their conversation, which is a great technique for self-disclosure. Practice listening without interrupting others if you have such a tendency - not only will you help you detect lies, but also help you become a more effective listener.

9. 

   Please follow to the end. If possible, verify the truth behind what the scammer said. A good liar will probably tell you the reasons you shouldn't talk to people who can help confirm or deny the story. This can also be a deception, so don't hesitate to check with the people the liar has warned about. Any grounds that are verifiable should be compared and examined. advertisement

Advice

• You should check whether the lie is reasonable or not. When you lie, most people worry and tend to make up things that don't make sense. If they tell you too much, they may be lying. Ask them to repeat the story multiple times and make sure all the stories they tell are the same.
• The more you know someone, the easier it is to recognize their way of thinking, and the easier it is to see when they say the wrong thing.
• Some of the liar's behaviors mentioned above may coincide with the reaction and behavior of the person who did not lie at all. People who are anxious, shy, easily terrified and full of guilt ... for a certain reason, etc. may respond with anxiety and misery when questioned or under pressure. These people can easily become defensive if accused of lying, especially those with a strong sense of integrity and fairness. They may seem like they are lying, but often they are just shocked or embarrassed to suddenly become the center of attention.
• Liars often use things around them to add detail to lies. For example, there is a pen on the table and they will add the pen details to their story. This is also a sign that they are lying.
• If you think someone is telling the wrong thing, ask for details. If they hesitate or touch their face, this could be a signal that they are lying!
• Some people are famous scams. Be aware of this, but don't let it guide your opinion. People are always changing, a lack of trust in a person because of their past can prevent them from stepping on a new page of life. The past is not everything - just as signs of lies need to be placed in a broader context, and case-specific. It is important to consider that sometimes people with great pasts may be blamed by others to benefit.
• If you know someone well, it's much easier to know if that person is lying or not.
• Suddenly changing the subject or making a joke could signal deception. The same goes for being highly defensive, looking the other way, or trying to convince you by making eye contact. Sometimes, they will start asking you questions to draw attention away from them. Some liars are very good at, not even showing any obvious signs. You have to rely on your own feelings and the evidence you see.
• Liars usually don't talk too much. If you ask, did you do that? They will simply say yes or no. Be careful. Please ask if he broke the vase? How? You can find out the truth.
• If you say "I don't believe it" or "It doesn't sound right," the liar will go mad and speak louder than usual. Try to talk, instead of accusing or cursing.

Warning

• Be careful how you judge other people's honesty. If you are always looking for the lies, people will avoid you for fear of being questioned. Staying on the offensive and suspicious of everyone is not vigilance but a sign of serious distrust.
• Be aware that there are people who like making eye contact with you. Maybe they practiced like that as a way to upset others or they simply thought it was polite because someone told them to!
• Some people actually have a dry throat and very naturally, they clear their throat and swallow so often.
• Forcing yourself to smile is sometimes just trying to be polite; Don't take that as a problem. If someone pretends to laugh at you, it also means that they want to make a good impression on you, cherish you, and show respect for you.
• Body language is a sign, but not a reality. Don't punish someone just for how you see and speculate on their body language and story. You always have to seek solid evidence before making a final conclusion. Also, don't turn the discovery of a liar into a "If I don't make it, I'm like an idiot" situation; Put aside your own sense of fairness and seek the truth, motives, and more serious consequences. Although you have the right to feel betrayed and hurt if someone has lied causing you harm want People become their own prejudiced liars that can overshadow your judgment.
• Studies show that when questioning suspects, people always do it in their native language because even experts in a foreign language when asked in a language other than their native language will have counter-attacks. other applications (in speech and body language).
• Some people feel restless when they need to go to the toilet or when they feel too hot / cold.
• Be aware of the limitations of people with disabilities. That restriction can affect a person's reaction, so applying ordinary people's standards can lead to erroneous inference. Find out how they normally act, and then realize the differences.
  • Autistic people (including those with autism spectrum disorder) may experience restlessness, anxiety and avoid eye contact, which is part of their natural bodily response.
  • Phobias (especially social phobia and post-traumatic stress disorder, called PTSD) sometimes appear like lying; the person may avoid eye contact, avoid others, and behave in an anxious manner
  • People who are deaf or have hearing problems instead of looking into your eyes, they will look into your mouth to read your mouth and better understand what you are saying.
  • Symptoms of bipolar disorder (euphoria - depression) include talking very quickly when the person is in excitement.
