Things You'll Need:
- Your Keen Sense
-
Step 1
Lies are in the eyes.
Being able to look into someones eyes and tell if they are lying is pretty cool. Someone who doesn't give to much eye contact with people is someone who doesn't want people to see through them. Eyes are the window to the soul. You can see a lot of things through the eyes. Some people don't like that you can do this. Blinking is also another way. When people lie they get really nervous. So watch for unusually blinking patterns. -
Step 2
Voice
Someone who lies is normally speaks louder than usual. They get louder because they are getting defensive and ready to argue. -
Step 3
Fidgeting
Naturally when people talk they create hand gestures. When a person is lying they try to stay as still as possible. Or sometimes some there is some abnormal fidgeting. -
Step 4
Arms and Feet
When a person becomes defensive they generally cross their arms. They try to escape confrontation. Awkward and uncomfortable conversations make them uneasy and want to escape. Watch their toes. if they are pointed away from you as if they are going to try to run and get away. -
Step 5
Grin
Look at the mouth. Can you see teeth? A forced smile will not reveal the teeth.
