Liars are normally under stress.
The first thing to make clear is that body language and facial expressions are
good indicators of when a person is lying but the indicators are not foolproof.
These indicators only give you a 'heads up' that something is not quite right
about what the person is saying.
To detect lying, watch for signs of stress in body language and facial
expressions. When most normal people (not psychotic) are lying they show signs
of stress in their posture, movements and facial expressions. However, their
stress may not show up if the person really wishes the facts were as described
or they can rationalize that their story really should be as described. But
generally, lying people will act and move in slightly different stressful ways from
when they are telling the truth. They also delay a few seconds longer when
answering a question with an answer that is not truthful. Truthful answers come
sooner then untrue answers.
Here is what to watch for when a person is lying to you when face-to-face:
(Also make sure you don't do these things!)
* Voice is higher pitched.
* Untrue answers to questions are slightly delayed.
* Body and face become stiffer.
* Hand-to-face touching increased, especially nose rubbing and mouth
covering.
* Face and hands becomes a bit paler as blood is withheld from extremities.
(A sign of high stress.)
* Nostrils may open wider ('flare').
* Breathing deeper and maybe audible.
* Lips become thinner and tighter.
* Shoulders pulled up and elbows pulled in to sides more. Body takes up less
space.
* Forehead tightens up a little in area between eye brows.
* Eye contact breaks away from you and eyes may squint or close.
* Heart rate increases.
* Hand palms turned down or closed, and not revealed to you.
Everyone lies when it serves a need
Keep in mind that periodically everyone tells 'little fibs'. That is what we call
lying when it serves us. In many cases we lie to protect a person's feelings,
such as: "You look so much thinner since you cut down to only 5 hamburgers a
week." We also lie periodically to avoid doing something we don't want to do,
such as: "I can't go shopping with you because I have to wait for a phone call."
We also lie to increase our importance, such as: "I could have won the award
but I didn't try so the little girl could win." Women often lie to make others
feel good. Men often lie to make themselves look good.
One researcher, Joseph Tecce at Boston College, has identified six types of
lies:
* Protective lie which shields liar from danger.
* Heroic lie that protects someone else from danger.
* Playful lie that enhances the story.
* Ego lie that prevents embarrassment.
* Gainful lie that enriches the liar.
* Malicious lie that hurts someone.
Lying helps when flirting
Lying occurs frequently in the flirting and dating game. It happens often
because telling the truth may block the liar from getting what he or she wants.
Also lies are used to elevate the liar's status, or so it is hoped, such as: "My
company has increased profits 500% since I took over as CEO." Lying may also
be used to discourage competition, such as when a woman says to a female
friend who shows interest in her boyfriend. "My boyfriend is impotent, snores
and really is a slob, so I just go with him to help him."
Lying is not easy
Another thing to watch for to detect lying is a sudden change in movements. The
liar tends to shut down and tries to maintain control of the situation and in so
doing becomes quieter and stops normal body movements until you have accepted
the lie. A liar may leave out pronouns and speak in a monotonous tone. This
heighten tension may cause the eyes to increase blink rate also. Any spoken
words during and immediately after the lie will come harder and there may be
more than normal mispronunciations and stutters. The liar is more defensive than
usual and also may place objects (cups, keys, pencils, chairs etc.) between self
and others.
Since tension is high in liars, they need some self-comforting. They stroke their
hair and touch their face more frequently and harder than usual. Scratching and
rubbing their nose is common in liars but don't accuse all nose-rubbers of being
liars! The best overall liar detection clue is a sudden change in posture and
movements from the normal patterns for a short time until you have accepted
what is said. If you believe someone is lying, change the subject quickly and
watch their reactions. A liar will follow along willingly and become more relaxed.
The guilty wants the subject changed but an innocent person may be confused by
the sudden change and will want to go back to the previous subject.
Why we lie
"Why We Lie: The Evolutionary Roots of Deception and the Unconscious Mind" is
a fascinating book about this subject of lying. The author, David Livingstone
Smith, believes that lying (and other deceptive traits as well) is deeply
embedded in our subconscious as a result of evolution. This means simply that our
many ancestors who survived by lying (and doing deceptive things) passed on
stronger and stronger genes in each generation for this talent. The living things
that did not have the knack to lie and deceive died off. Thus, evolution produced
the best liars and deceivers. Interesting thought.

Detecting a liar using body language
Let's start with the simple method. There are a lot of noticeable signs that can
be detected when someone lies. If you take noticing of two or more of these
signs, then that means that the person is possibly lying. Noticing more than
three will raise the accuracy of your lying detection process and so on.
Remember, one sign is never enough! The signs you will be looking for are:
* If the target person is not used to lying or if his values and beliefs make
him perceive lying as immoral then: when telling the lie, he will be negatively
evaluating what he is saying and will thus be taking up one of the negative
evaluation postures (touching nose or ears). Negative evaluation Postures, in
body language, are taken when someone considers something to be negative. In
this case, he doesn't like the fact that he is lying and will thus be adopting the
negative evaluation body posture. Note that this only happens with people who
consider lying a bad thing; not with everyone.
* Eye contact very much weakens when someone is lying: while telling a lie,
the person may keep on looking at other stuff around him. If you want to know
everything about Eye contact in body language then refer to this guide
* Palms are rarely visible when someone is lying: Being comfortable with
showing your palms is a sing of honesty and truthfulness; people who lie usually
either put their palms down or keep their hands in their pockets. See the
pictures below illustrating the differences between someone who is lying and
someone who is telling the truth
* The back is rarely kept up straight, and the posture is rarely upright
when someone is lying (unless he is proud of lying. See body language and
straight backs for more information on this topic)

Want to know how to detect lies by reading eye body language? In this article,
I'll reveal some extraordinary tips on how to catch a liar simply by interpreting
the body language signs given by the eyes.
Reading eye body language may not be 100% accurate all the time. But by
combining your interpretation of other nonverbal signals with their eye
movements, you'll come up with reliable data supporting your assertions.
When a person avoids making eye contact, he may be lying. However, some liars
deliberately look you straight in the eye and maintain it because they don't want
to be seen as "hiding something."
When a person is lying, he may be forcing himself to smile. A forced smile
involves movement of the mouth only. A natural smile involves movement of the
cheeks, eyes, nose and forehead. In a genuine smile, the eyes are smaller and
squinted.
Here's a rather unique technique to detect lies by reading eye body language.
If you ask a question to a right-handed person, and he looks to the left in an
upward direction, that means he is thinking or "visually constructing" an image in
his mind. If he looks to the right in an upward direction, he is recalling or
"visually remembering" something that actually happened.
So let's say you ask him, "Where were you when the child fell down?" If he
looks up to the left, he might be making up a story to cover the real incident.
If he looks up to the right, he might be recalling what actually happened (in
reality).
This method may help you determine if you want to accept their explanation or
not, while also taking into account other factors.
Note that the meaning of these eye directions would have the reverse
interpretation for a left-handed person.
Remember also that you should not solely rely on reading eye body language to
detect lies. It's better if you combine it with your assessment of other body
language signals for a more accurate interpretation.

There are many ways liars betray themselves. Some of the signs involve spoken
language and visible signs like sweat or a flushed face, but many of the most
telling signs that someone isn't being truthful are found in body language. While
reading body language isn't definitive proof that lies are being told, they can
offer reassurance when you're already suspicious. In addition, consider how many
indications are manifesting; when several of the following body language signals
are apparent, it is likely there is a reason.
Step1
Pay particular attention to the eyes. When people are lying, they generally
avoid eye contact. Frequently, liars will gaze downward and to the right (your
left). Because this is a well-known sign, though, someone who's lying may force
themselves to make eye contact. However, at the exact point of telling a lie,
they will usually dart their eyes away briefly.
Step2
Watch for fidgeting. When people lie, they are generally uncomfortable and act
out their nervousness by fidgeting with their hands or feet. This may involve
playing with something, adjusting clothes, drumming fingers or just making
fidgety motions. This also represents a subconscious attempt to divert attention
away from the lie.
Step3
Notice any covering of the mouth or touching of the face. Liars will often try to
"hide" the lie by blocking the view of their mouth. Almost as common is touching
the nose or an eye in some seemingly innocuous fashion. These are all attempts
to cover up the dishonesty, and it is also considered by some to be a
subconscious expression of shame.
Step4
Look for any indication that the speaker has a dry mouth, a common side effect
of lying. This can include lip licking, frequent swallowing or repetitious small sips
of a beverage.
Step5
Pay attention to gestures. When people lie, they will try to divert attention and
promote a false sense of enthusiasm with excessive gesturing. Often such
gestures will appear exaggerated and deliberate, and sometimes they will not
sync up naturally with the speech they accompany. Another indication can be the
exact opposite, however. A person staying extremely still, often very stiff, may
very well be lying too. This is a signal that someone is trying not to betray
anything, akin to a bad poker face.
Step6
Watch for folded arms and crossed legs. These are defensive postures. They
also reflect a desire to create some sort of physical obstruction. This same idea
can be played out by a person who's lying moving objects between them and the
person they're lying to.
Step7
Notice if the other person's body is pointed away from you. This is a
subconscious attempt to hide a little and to avoid eye contact.
