External signs

Usually a liar’s speech can be accompanied by:

- nervous cough

- stuttering

- yawning

- blinking

- trembling voice

- change in complexion

- hard breath

- dry lips

- dry mouth

- the appearance of droplets of sweat

Gesture, body language

• The gestures of a liar are uncertain and limited.

• A person who is lying avoids eye contact.

• A liar constantly touches his face, neck, mouth, etc. however, he rarely touches the chest from the side of the heart.

• When a person lies, his gestures become unnatural, sometimes even fussy. He can tug on the edges of clothes, shake off dust from it, remove mote (real or imaginary), fingering, rubbing his hands, straightens his hair.

• A liar can nervously snap his fingers, beat his foot on the floor, etc. These are symptoms of anxiety for which the liar probably has reasons.

The contradiction of gestures and emotions

• Very often, in the first second after your question, a person’s face displays what he really thinks. If his face expresses surprise, confusion or doubt and at the same time he speaks of his confidence, it is worth being wary.

• If the rate of gesticulation has slowed, the person probably thought for a moment to come up with a plausible answer.

• Lies can be accompanied by a mismatch between words and gestures (nodding with negative answers, shaking your head with negative answers).

Interaction

• A person who lies chooses a defensive position, while a person who tells the truth goes on the offensive

• A liar feels uncomfortable, standing directly in front of the interlocutor, he can turn away from you in the other direction or as if to hide, leave your field of vision (lean on the cupboard, while actually hiding behind it, fall apart in a chair or armchair, moving out of it under the table, etc.);

• A liar can unknowingly place foreign objects (a book, a cup of coffee, an apple, etc.) between you and you.

Speech

• A liar uses your own words to answer your question. For example: "Did you eat the last cookie?" - "No, it's not me who ate the last cookie!"

• Liar, gives the answer in abbreviated form. For example, "It's not me!" instead of "I did not do this!"

• The liar tries not to make direct statements, answers evasively, and hints instead of speaking directly.

• A liar can be more than natural, adding extra unnecessary details to convince you. He does not fall silent and tries not to pause in his speech.
• A liar may lose control of the timbre and tone of voice: a higher timbre indicates a person’s stress, as does a voice with increased volume; monotonous speech may be an attempt to lull the vigilance of the interlocutor.

• The liar’s speech can be severely distorted, mainly syntax and grammar.

Other signs of falsehood

• If you think someone is lying to you, change the subject, the liar will readily support you and calm down. The guilty person will definitely want to transfer the conversation to another channel, while the innocent person will want to understand everything to the end.

• A person who lies uses a lot of humor and sarcasm in his speech

Naturally, the presence of some of these signs does not make a person a liar. Therefore, having found them with your friend, do not rush to write him down as deceivers. Compare them to his usual behavior.
