People lie all the time for various reasons, pursuing their own benefit.
However, even the most notorious and experienced liar can be exposed if you know what signs indicate a lie.
Let's figure out how to determine if a person is lying to you.
5 Signs of a Liar
One of the telltale signs of a liar is a refusal to answer a direct question. The person either begins to evade the answer or claims that the answer to your question is beyond his competence.
The fact of lying is also indicated by a counterattack. Liars often accuse their interlocutor and ask why they are not believed.
The third sign is excitement, which the person tries to hide in every possible way. The eyes and mouth of the interlocutor give away the lie, especially if the person blinks often or tries to cover his mouth with his hand.
By the way, a sharp change in gaze also indicates a lie. If the interlocutor did not avoid your gaze until a certain phrase, and then suddenly looked away, most likely he lied.
Liars also like to make unnatural pauses, although they previously spoke without hesitation, and repeat questions - it is quite possible that you are being lied to. Liars need pauses and repeating questions to come up with another lie in the time they have gained.
