How to Tell If Someone Is Lying to You - Body Language Course - Hypnotic World Psychology
SECTION: How
to Tell If Someone Is Lying to You
Lying makes people nervous and that nervousness conveys itself in many different
ways. The better you know someone, the easier it will be to tell if they are
lying to you or telling the truth. That doesn't mean that you can't often guess
at how truthful even a stranger is being when you talk to them, though. Most
people have some involuntary gestures that they make when they're trying to
mislead you.
'Shifty eyes'
Being unable to make or maintain eye contact is such a universal signal of
deception that it's entered into the popular parlance. A 'shifty-eyed' person
is one who is not to be trusted. If you want to impress someone with your
sincerity, look them openly in the eye. If someone keeps looking away from
you - especially up and to the right - they may be lying or concealing something.
