5 Easy Tells To Spot A Liar
You’re being lied to 10 to 200 times EVERY SINGLE DAY.
People lie to protect their interests, or to fill the inner void of their miserable existence.
Spotting a liar is a superpower that will grant you a strategic advantage over your competitors.
Here are 5 Tells to look for:
1/ Pay attention to the voices volume:
When an individual invents a lie instantly, the volume of his voice will tend to drop significantly and then rise again at the end of the sentence.
Indeed, when a liar tells his lie aloud, he hears it for the first time.
He therefore tests the credibility of his story live, and prefers to push the volume only at the end of his speech. When his brain has validated the consistency of his story.
Humans speak lower when they don’t know whether their story is believable or not.
This leaves them an opening to modify as they go by playing on the difficulty of their interlocutor to grasp all the details of what is being said.
Humans therefore intuitively leave a way out through a plausible denial.
At this game, some are better than others.
Speaking loudly and clearly is a sign of confidence in yourself, and in your speech.
The best liars will look you in the eye and give you the worst nonsense.
2 / The hands are treacherous.
Intuitively, a liar will tend to hide his face with his hands by putting them, for example on the nose or on the chin.
This is a reflex that humans develop from childhood, that few adults are aware of having retained.
We have all seen a child hide his mouth with his hand after lying, let alone after being unmasked.
As if the subconscious wanted to prevent the lie from coming out.
The liar can also have recourse to symblical elements to reassure himself and to put distance between himself, and what he is doing.
For this, he will try to increase the space between his victim and himself.
More commonly, the liar will use furniture as a mental shield (standing behind a chair, a desk, etc.).
Be attentive to space usage when you speak to someone.
You might brush it off, as something unimportant.
But your guts don’t lie to you, if you feel something is off, you are probably right.
3 / Words have meaning.
During a lie, the liar will (at different doses depending on his liar aptitudes), use a vocabulary that is not his own.
It’s easy to spot when the culprit is well known, less easy when it’s someone you get to know for the first time.
It is a way of taking a distance from lying.
If he manages to tame his subconscious, the liar will do a lot of damage around him.
The Liar borrows several pieces from different stories that aren’t built to hold together.
The liar’s brain is therefore forced to cement his story with words that he does not usually use to give coherence to his words.
The more he tries to hide his lie, the more the culprit denounces himself.
4 / The traitor’s smile.
A successful liar gains confidence with each successful attempt.
Gradually, as time passes, his confidence in his ability to fool the world made him take additional risks.
If he’s not careful, the liar lets his vanity take over.
Often a smile on his lips draw , a result of dopamine rushes that the brain receives.
This smile is very particular, it is very restrained.
The liar will try to hide it from them, and if he does not succeed, it is not uncommon for a burst of laughter to be heard.
The liar will try to justify it by telling something that makes you laugh or smile.
Justification really only drives the culprit down.
