#05 - LIARS AVOID MENTIONING THEMSELVES
No, really. They almost never do it. Surely, you can remember one of those funny situations in your childhood when mom's favorite cup is broken by you. What did we all say? Mom, there's your favorite cup broken on the kitchen floor. Sweet. Especially because we just tried to avoid any kind of punishment. No desire to have responsibilities? Hmm. Seems some grown-ups still use this rule in their lives.
The truth about the cup should sound the following way. Mommy, I have accidentally broken your favorite cup. I'm sorry. The pattern of behavior works for all people. Just try to know if the person under question wants to put the responsibility for something on the powers of nature, or other abstract objects. Hey Mom, a bear came right into the kitchen and broke your cup. You should have seen it.
#04 - A LIAR'S SPEECH ATTITUDE IS NEGATIVE
On the whole, liars can be negative and pessimistic. Look what people usually say if they are late for the office or an important meeting. Bet it's something like, sorry, I'll be late. This stupid traffic jam with all the drivers standing in a row just don't know how to drive! Not my fault! Do you know why they swear so much and blame everyone but themselves? It's pure psychology. Showing negative attitudes means feelings subconsciously guilty for their lives. Who could ever tell?
#03 - A LIAR'S EXPLANTIONS ARE AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE
Our brain is ready to be helpful all the time. It also works for people who are going to cheat somebody. The thing is that liars typically explain everything in simple terms, because their brain refuses to think of a complicated lie. Judgments or evaluations are complicated things that are difficult to calculate. A good example is an exam failure. We usually know that the test is bad because we're just not ready enough. The usual lies in such case are, I don't know why I failed. Though it's rather simple to admit that you haven't learned enough information.
#02 - A LIAR USES CONFUSING WORDING
Despite simple explanations, liars use complicated and intricate sentence structure, unnecessary words and insignificant but plausible sounding details that help them inflate their deceit. Probably this is explained by them being unsure if they can tell the truth. Or, they are trying to hide something. Who knows? Be attentive to overloaded structures in some unnecessary words. This is how liars show themselves in courts. Just imagine the situation when a possible crime accomplice has to prove his alibi. If he is guilty, he will be defensive, negative and too chatty. If he is not, he will tell you a story of spending his free time with his wife and a small dog with great pleasure. Your usual interlocutors, there's that word again, will behave the same way. Just check it.
#01 - LIARS USE TOO MANY DETAILS IN A SIMPLE STORY
Ask yourself to tell aloud the story of your last shopping. We are sure it will look like, I went to the grocery store, bought everything I needed. Then, I went home and watched my favorite TV show till midnight. See? No excessive details. The same simple situation with a liar will be different. Surely, he went out of the apartment, then he met his neighbor, Jim. And they were talking about exactly five minutes. Then, he looked at the other side of the road and saw a sky-blue truck. Someone must have been moving out. At the grocery in the next block, he bought two packets of popcorn and a bag of potatoes. On his way back, he stopped to smoke for three minutes, yes, he timed it, and while smoking, he saw a small funny neighbor's girl named Gina. At home, he was cooking for two hours, then he had dinner, then he went to bed, and he fell asleep. A liar thinks the details make the story true to life, which is wrong. We do not memorize our automatic habitual actions. There is a hint for this point. If you're not sure about the person, ask him or her to tell the whole story from the very beginning. If you're talking to a liar, he will be trapped in all of his imaginary excessive details. Just try it, share the experience in the comment section below.
It will be very interesting. And finally, here's the bonus hint we promised.
BONUS
It's as simple as that. People's eyes never lie. Imagine that all the hints mentioned above show that the person is sincere, but you're still not sure. This can happen. Then, you have nothing left except watching the person's eye reaction. Scientifically speaking, when we know we're telling lies, we can't help but feel nervous. That leads to faster heart beating and pupil dilation. All you need is to ask the question you want answered, and watch the interlocutor, there's that word again, strictly in the eyes when he answers. You'll see everything you want. By the way, not only the pupils can give away the lies, but the inability to watch back. See? See my pupils here? Yeah, I'm not lying. Anyway, we hope that this information will be helpful for you, and you will never let anyone trick you!
