Ways to Spot a Liar

One of the most important things to remember is that little facial or body expressions can help you detect a lie. Try to compare all those behaviors with a person's normal behavior.

  • Pay special attention to their eyes. People tend to look towards their left (that's your right) when they are remembering something that actually happened; and look towards their right when they're making things up. Liars also blink more often.
  • Sweating. People sweat more when they are not telling the truth.
  • A person who lies may touch and scratch their face, especially the nose.
  • A liar will feel uncomfortable when answering your questions, and will often turn his/her head or body away.
  • If you change the subject of your conversation quickly, an honest person will try to return to the previous subject of conversation, while a liar will suddenly become more relaxed and will welcome the change.
