Have you ever felt like someone is lying to you – but you really have no proof? Your gut instinct is telling you that this person is not being truthful (and, you’re probably right!), but you can’t quite put your finger on why you feel this way? From body language to various speech patterns, you just might be able to pinpoint why your instinct is kicking in. Check out these signs to help figure out if you’re being lied to.
6 Signs That You’re Being Lied To
- When someone gives way too much information.
- If someone gets uncharacteristically nervous or is having trouble speaking.
- Take notice if someone covers their throat or mouth instinctively. Perhaps they just don’t actually want to answer the question and are covering their vulnerability.
- Pay attention to lots of blinking – or no blinking at all (like a staring contest!).
- When someone is super fidgety, you might feel like they aren’t telling the truth, but also beware of the person who stands perfectly still.
- Watch out for sudden and odd head tilts and movements.
