In you opinion, how do you know if someone is telling the truth or not? How much of a statement made to you from another person do you believe is a truth or not a truth?

I've learned not to judge a truth or a non-truth. Experience with the person will tell you. For example, a pathological liar does not show in any way, body language, anything, that they are lying. Some people are very transparent, but the worst of them are not. This doesn't mean I immediately "distrust," nor do I "trust." I reserve the judgment to further experience.

That depends on how good a liar the person is, but here are some things I go by.
If their tone of voice changes ...
If they look down or stop looking you in the eye ...
If they make sudden jerky moves ..
if they touch their nose, mouth, eyes ...
If their ears turn red ...
If they try to give more details than are really necessary ...
and ...
if their nose starts growing ...
THEY'RE LYING!!!!!

it depends because if your face to face you can tell by body languages and if your talking about on the phone or online you can just tell by the way they react to question you ask or by how long it takes to answer but on the phone you can hear it in there voice. Hope this help you a little and good luck.

Depends on who that person is and how well you know them. Never fully believe anyone and keep an open mind on all subjects until you form your own opinion.
