How to spot a liar. Top 10 signs to look for.

These are the top signs that someone may be lying to you.

1. Inconsistent Stories: The details don’t match up because their story has changed from a previous version of events.

2. Body Language: They avoid eye contact or fidget excessively or their body language may conflict with what they are saying.

3. Too Much Detail: Over-explaining can be a red flag!

4. Vocal Changes: A shift in tone or speed can indicate discomfort.

5. Delayed Responses: Lying creates cognitive load. A long pause before answering might mean they’re thinking hard about a lie.

6. Nervous Habits: Watch for biting nails or playing with hair that weren't present previously but are more obvious whilst recalling or editing a story.

7. Changes in Emotion: Unusual emotional reactions or seeming overly calm.

8. Defensive Responses: They may get angry or defensive when questioned and blame you!

9. Fluctuating Eye Movements: Rapid blinking, prolonged eye closure or blocking gestures such as hand to face can be giveaways.

10. Gut Feeling: Sometimes, your intuition is the best judge!

Benchmark a person's behavioural responses and look for deviations from their normative behaviour whilst they tell their narrative. Stay alert! 👀✨
