How can you tell when somebody is lying?

you can tell by them twitching or sweating! • Physical expression will be limited and stiff, with few arm and hand movements. Hand, arm and leg movement are toward their own body the liar takes up less space. • A person who is lying to you will avoid making eye contact. • Hands touching their face, throat & mouth. Touching or scratching the nose or behind their ear. Not likely to touch his chest/heart with an open hand. • Timing and duration of emotional gestures and emotions are off a normal pace. The display of emotion is delayed, stays longer it would naturally, then stops suddenly. • Timing is off between emotions gestures/expressions and Words. Example: Someone says "I love it!" when receiving a gift, and then smile after making that statement, rather then at the same time the statement is made. • Gestures/expressions don't match the verbal statement, such as frowning when saying "I love you." • Expressions are limited to mouth movements when someone is faking emotions (like happy, surprised, sad, awe, )instead of the whole face. For example; when someone smiles naturally their whole face is involved: jaw/cheek movement, eyes and forehead push down, etc. === === • A guilty person gets defensive. An innocent person will often go on the offensive. • A liar is uncomfortable facing his questioner/accuser and may turn his head or body away. • A liar might unconsciously place objects (book, coffee cup, etc.) between themselves and you. • A liar will use your Words to make answer a question. When asked, "Did you eat the last cookie?" The liar answers, "No, I did not eat the last cookie." •A statement with a contraction is more likely to be truthful: " I didn't do it" instead of "I did not do it" • Liars sometimes avoid "lying" by not making direct statements. They imply answers instead of denying something directly. • The guilty person may speak more than natural, adding unnecessary details to convince you... they are not comfortable with silence or pauses in the conversation.

• A liar may leave out pronouns and speak in a monotonous tone. When a truthful statement is made the pronoun is emphasized as much or more than the rest of the Words in a statement. • Words may be garbled and spoken softly, and syntax and grammar may be off. In other

Words, his sentences will likely be muddled rather than emphasized.
