How To Detect a Lie

Luvin it! Just as much as I love Lie To Me with the captivating Tim Roth. Dropped Topic Elation – now that’s something I have to add to my vocabulary. Oh, and by the way, I never lie…

You can discover 3 things in 1 question.
that can show if the person is lying.
1. What the person answear
2. What the person don´t answear.
3. Whats missing or what is added in them.

Then you can choose a totally out of context question to see the reaction and see if the answear don´t match those three rules.

not only noticing liar, but also teaching people to lie better

This video is disgustingly stupid. Just be mindful and learn to listen to your inner voice. Once done, you’ll find ppl trying to tell you stuff like the above just awkward, if not embarassing.

“Did you know, 91% of Americans reported lying on a regular basis.” – The poll is flawed then.

Richard, this is superb. I have always been uncomfortable talking to someone who does not look me in eye and talk to me. Twitching is another sign that I have been uncomfortable with. But the other tips, wow will watch for those. Cool. Thank you.

91%? 91%? Really? REALLY? Seeing as statistically so many are fibbing away this info to detect that shall be immediately implemented. Geesh, I’m still stuck on that alarming 91%!

[Reply]

91% is likely to be optimistic. And we’re talking about Amerika!

This doesn’t mean everyone is telling lies all the time. It just means that they will lie, exaggerate the truth, stonewall, and withhold information as convenience, situation and social convention dictates.

When’s the last time you spared someone’s feelings the last time you were asked, How do I look? =P

P.S. Honesty on some things is mission critical to trust, relationship, work, happiness and success. Get agreement on what those things are – if you have any concerns.

For me honesty is the best policy.

Interesting. Interesting indeed.

“it doesn’t mean everyone is behaving the same way. Some people might actually do the things by nature when they are not lying so be careful judging.”

It’s good you added this, because there are numerous cultural differences in how one group interacts as opposed to another. Especially eye contact.

Oftentimes excessive eye contact is a clear sign someone is lying. But not w/certain cultures who value constant eye gazing. Basically if you suspect someone of being a liar, discuss things you are certain to be true. Then bring up the things you are suspicious about and gauge the difference in demeanor. It’s mostly in inflection, which is quite easy to hear shifts in vocal patterns.

But yet again this can not be fail safe. Some people get embarrassed if they can’t recall dates and some folks simply have date gaps. Also a person may be secretive about certain details because they value privacy… the list goes on. The list of loopholes. But if you know a person fairly well you will have a much easier time determining fact from fiction.

Oh gosh, but then you have to filter in that some humans trust in what they prefer to hear so a lie can easily escape their detector, since it is by choice. And what they don’t want to hear sounds fishy… That reversal is nuts, but happens.

Wow, what a topic.
Another thing to be aware of is you believe a person lies often, perhaps being there friend is not a good idea. To save time and skip being a sleuth, just move on and away…

Ya know what, if it’s strictly on the phone, I say go with inflection. If it’s solely in email or any writing… Hmmm, there’s a new blog topic for ya. Haha
