Lying well is very hard but not in the way you might think.
We usually find nervousness as a sign of lying. but that’s actually a weak prediction. some people are very good at lying without the fear of getting caught. Others are great at hiding it.
Lying is hard because it makes you think.
Lying can be demanding. You must construct a falsehood that’s acceptable on its face and must suppress the truth and doesn’t contradict anything known by the listener.
We blink our eyes more often when we’re nervous, but blink less under cognitive load. recent studies reveal that we blink less when deceiving. People fidget more in nervousness but cognitive load has opposite effect. In deceptive situations people often fidget less. And under cognitive load , me use less hand gestures while deceiving and both sexes often employ longer pauses when speaking deceptively.
Don’t look for the signs of stress, look for the indicators that a person is thinking hard.
They tend to cut down on gesturing, not to move their legs and arms too much, give shorter and less detailed answers, repeat the same phrases. Finally is increased evasiveness, as liars avoid answering a question completely, perhaps by asking a question of their own or by switching topics.
Experts don’t rely upon common signs of lying. They seek to increase liar’s cognitive load and make the person think harder.
HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO JUDGE THE PERSONE
1. Changes in pitch or tone
It’s all in the voice! Next time you think someone is lying, listen very closely to the sound of his or her voice. While it’s not always the easiest thing to detect, any change in pitch (higher than normal) or tone (lower than normal) indicates you might have a fibber on your hands. Pay attention to the speed at which they talk too. You wouldn’t want anyone to pull a fast one on you (literally), would you?
2. Hiding behind the hands
You know how people will put their hands over their mouth after they accidently blurt something out? Well, liars might touch or shield their face with their hands, as though they’re attempting to hide behind their lies or legit stop them from spilling out. Watch out for any nose scratching or ear pulling as well, both signs of potential liars.
3. Excessive lip licking
Unless you catch your roomie right after the Jimmy John’s incident (in which case, she might still be licking her lips!), this can be seen as a sign of deceit. Lying puts a lot of stress on the body, and a major symptom of high stress is a dry mouth. Hence why liars will lick their lips more than usual.
4. Shoulder shrugs mid-speech
A regular shoulder shrug means, “I don’t know” or “I’m not sure.” So if someone shrugs their shoulder while they’re talking, it means they don’t agree with the words that are coming out of their own mouth. Take John Edwards, for example – when he told the world he didn’t have an affair, his shoulder flew up, signifying he wasn’t being honest.
5. Lack of hand gestures
Just as someone hiding behind their hands is a marker of deception, if someone suddenly stops using their hands to speak or becomes really stiff, it’s a surefire sign that they’re extremely uncomfortable. They may also grasp their hands together, in an attempt to protect something, usually their story or their guilt.
6. Speaking in a measured way
No surprise here! People who lie typically try to memorize their story. In doing so, this causes them to speak in a beat or like they’re reading straight off a script. Don’t fall for it, even if their performance is totally Oscar worthy.
7. Sweat and more sweat
Anyone who’s ever watched an interrogation on TV will notice how the guilty frequently break out in a sweat or are seen wiping sweat from their foreheads. This is because sweat is a natural stress response. And clearly when you lie, it’s stressful.
