There are many occasions in life that people easily get deceived either because someone is interested in getting something out from you for unworthy reasons, hiding something from you, run away from mistakes or just lie because it is self-uplifting, etc. There are many reasons that people lie and it is not to be discussed here but what we are interested in is to learn simple tactic to easily figure who is lying.
1. Shifting the blame
A liar will quickly look for someone to blame and will try to quickly shift the blame to someone else. This happens in many circumstances when fronted with situations where mistakes and errors are investigated. They will be the first to talk and quick to respond to questions with straight forward answers. They usually have the answers to questions readily because they are caught prepared.
2. Avoid eye to eye contact
In many occasions liars avoid physical eye contact. As the say goes, "the eye is the window to the soul", truths reveal when looking into the eyes and therefore in as much as possible liars avoid eye contact to conceal the truth from coming out.
3. Avoid explanations
Liars avoid detailed explanation and analysis as detailed analysis and explanations slowly maps routes to the truth. They simply give broad assuming that it gives sufficient evidence to their reasons.
4. Talks too much
Liars repeatedly talk on issues knowing personally that claiming innocence and showing concern will easily drive the attention away from them. They talk too much on the same topic as their inner guilt is never satisfied and their mind constantly develops possible questions and avenues that might be used to track back. This guilt generates so many questions that they fell the need to explain and conceal every possible avenues that someone might use to track back to them.
5. Body language
The body language also changes now and then. Sitting/standing positions shift almost every minute, look away frequently, wearing glasses to avoid eye contacts, occasional guilty smiles or a very hard serious look on their face is an indication of avoiding truth. Also note that some people are very good at controlling their body languages and some body languages are also habitual to some in which personal sound judgement is advisable.
6. Swearing with an "honest" or "very /very very" adjective
When something is true, its more than sufficient to just say "its true" and that concludes and truth holds its definition to be correct and ethical. However some people use adjectives such as "very" and "honest" together with true or that implies to have an added value/force to the truth but in a way does not really mean the truth.
Making an assertive judgement as to something is true or not is a matter of personal analytical skills but observing the fore-mentioned tactics can be very productive.
