What are some DEAD give-aways that some one is lying?? What are some of the more subtle ways to find a liar???

Answer 1

If they don't look you in the eyes or they look away. Some people say that if they use their hands to twitch like their eyes or ears or something like that. Maybe if they stumble over their words.

Answer 2

The answer to this question depends on if the liar is a good one or a bad one. If they can't lie for their life, but they do anyway, a dead giveaway is the eyes. If they aren't looking at you and they are looking at somewhere in the distance, looking as if they are thinking, you can bet that they are lying. Of course, you can look into the eyes of a good liar and see that they are lying as well. A big difference that is more subtle with a good liar is that they can look you in the eye when they tell a lie. One way to see a good liar is to look for body movement. I mean like a tapping of the foot or some other body part that is in constant motion, but not too noticeably, while they talk to you. Some liars, however, have mastered their art so well that they will not move and they will be able to pull it off as if they are not lying at all. In a case such as that, look this person up and down for any signs of discomfort; maybe instead of a large way of seeing that they are lying it is a very very small way. For istance, some people's nostrils flare out.

How To Spot a Liar:

1. No eye contact. His eyes will look away. If the room has a means of egress - that's where they'll look.
2. Crossing of arms and/or legs (a protective instinct).
3. The pupils of the eyes will narrow. Lying is stressful.
4. Hands on the face, especially the mouth. They are "covering" the lie.
5. Talking fast. A liar wants to get it over with.
6. Sometimes the head will nod a "no" when answering a "yes" question or visa versa. This is a subconcious movement.
7. Mispronouncing the words or mumbling. A liar kinda thinks he is not lying when he pronounces words incorrectly or mumbles.
8. Overstated friendliness/laughing. He wants you to believe and he wants you to like him so you will believe him.

Answer 4

People who are accomplished liars are unlikely to show any of the more cliche 'signs' like looking away, blinking or touching their faces so paying more attention to what they say can show signs of lying.
Someone who is planning to lie to you about something will probably have rehearsed to themselves what they will tell you and they will often try to put as much detail into their story as possible to convince you its true. This is a good sign of a lie. Someone who has littered their story with irrelevant details (like lengthy physical descriptions of people and places etc) about why they were late or where they have spent the night is possibly reciting a rehearsed story.
A liar will often trip themselves up when telling you the same lies over and over again (which is why the police ask the same questions repeatedly to suspects) by confusing details and eventually losing the jist of their own lies. Listen very carefully to everything they say as it is often the insignificant details that they mess up on.
Rephrasing questions can also throw a liar off guard. Acting as though you are NOT suspicious of their lies but are simply enquiring about events lures a liar into relaxing in a situation which he/she really needs to be alert in. The more accusative and suspicious you appear the more defensive and alert the liar will become. Act as though you believe them from the start and get enthusiastic about what they are saying if possible, this leaves you open to be more inquisitive without them growing suspicious of your interest.
There are no definite ways of identifying a liar and often only blatant contradictions can prove a lie 100%. I hope this helps you a little though!
All the best.

Answer 5

When you confront them about something and they are evasive while they come up with a good lie. Like when you ask someone if they are cheating on you and they say "Whaaaaat?? What are you talking about?" and never answer you.

If they look to the left the moment you askthem the question, they are angry you asked them this, but are accessing the intelectual part of the brain to figure out wher you got this crazy idea. If they look to the right, they are accessing the creative part of the brain trying to devise a cover up.

If their breathing suddenly changes, they are lying.

If they suddenly become uncomfortable or self conscious they are lying.

If there is absolutely no emotion in their answer, like it was a rehearsed line, they are lying.

Exaggeration of facial expressions or words is also a dead give away.

if they start fiddling with something with their hands they are a liar

Good liars only have one tale tale sign... usually it's the eyes. They won't necessarily look away, but if you watch their eyes carefully, you can see the instictive movement towards a direction away from your face.

Answer 6

ok i am an expert on reading ppl. first of all eye contact is always a give away, if they do not look you in the eye, they are lying. swallowing is another give away, if they swallow or have a small sign of nervousness such as like a raspy like voice, sweaty palms??? hmmmm, face of guilt? maybe squinting, or always repeating the same word, like "uh" or "like" hmmm, i mean everyone is different but i can read most ppl like a book when it comes to lying, and telling the truth, but u have to know the person before you can tell if they are lying or not, u know? i hope this helps, it took me some time to write, lol ;)

Answer 7

The person will probably not make eye contact-unless they are a very good liar! Also, they might make a great discussion over what they are lying about to get sway what you may be thinking.

Answer 8

A few common giveaway for lieing is
1) The raising of eyebrows
2) the flinching of eyes
3) A cheek flinch
4) A grin
5) An uneasy tapping of fingers
6) Other obvious things, like sweating

You should ask a question you already know the answer to them, first. Like: "Are you gay?" and they would answer "No/Yes" But you have to know the answer. Then... Examine their faces for the reaction of their Truth Face. Then ask them the question and see if their face is different.

Answer 9

When you ask them a question about what they said 10 minutes later and they get an attitude with you. If they do respond it makes no sense because they weren't expecting a pop quiz. I'll give you a good example, a girl called my house and asked for my baby daddy. He claimed he didn't know her but 10 minutes later, when I asked how she got my number his response was "I must have dialed a wrong number and she must have got it off of her caller id". That might have been believable if she would have asked for me but speaking that the phone was in my name how would she know to ask for him??? He wasn't prepared for the question so he didn't think about his answer. Not only will you catch them in a lie but you'll feel better by making them feel really stupid

Answer 10

I always find that a liar looks down to the left when they aren't telling the truth and they can't keep eye contact with me either.

Answer 11

looking to the right, it indicates that they're using the part of the brain that makes up a story, to the left indicates that they're recalling an incident that already occurred. some others are:
stammering when talking
tapping of feet
taking a long time to ans. when a question is asked
not looking at you directly in the eyes, but your nose, forehead, or on the ground
