It's VERY hard to tell. Police, lawyers, judges, parents of teenagers, salespeople, politicians - all have been trying to develop a system to A) con people successfully, or B) avoid being conned. Body language can tell you a lot, but many people can cover for that. The best way is through evidence. Factual inconsistencies provide openings to probe for the truth through questions. It's called cross-examination, but it's hard to conduct in ordinary conversation without appearing investigative.

Depends on the source and secondly if what the person tells you makes no sense, then it is usually a lie. The truth never sounds confusing, if you have to try and figure out something that someone says or something about what they say just don't add up, then it's usually a lie. The truth feels right and generally sounds right, it very rarely leaves us wondering or questioning!

Over a period of time, you discover whether what that person has told you turns out to be true or not. So they're building trust with you, and hopefully you with them.

if its in person, look at their eyes. if they break eye contact at any point in the confession then its a lie
