6 Ways to detect a liar!

We teach you how to spot the signs that indicate that people are trying to deceive you…
1. Aim for the eyes:
Cherlene has found $20 under the wheel of a parked car. Luck or lie? To find out, use the tip of the pros,i.e. ask her what colour the car was. If she is taking you on a ride, her eyes will move to the left (her right). And if she is actually rummaging through her memory, they will slide to the right (her left). A warning though – this process is mirrored for the lefties.
2. Beware of the parrot:
Your office supplies evaporate – not again, Janice?! Begin your sleuthing nonchalantly. If she repeats your questions like, “Where is your stapler?” she is seeking respite by biding some time, says Doctor of Psychology, David Lieberman. If she answers something to the effect of “ask Bernard” with a step ahead, or two to the back, she is thinking about how she will respond, even though the action lasts only a second. In short, Janice has struck again.
3. Watch for the pout:
Dressed in an ultra-tight top, you suddenly have some second thoughts – does it not make your nipples look a little too…out there? Your girlfriend Valerie, who drops by to go to the party with you, puts on a mocking pout before reassuring you that no, you look killer in it. David Lieberman affirms that it is indeed her pout that speaks the reality of her thoughts! And you may risk making a fool of yourself all night if you do not change your bra.
4. Measure distances:
The sincere get themselves involved, the rogues give themselves space. When your client says, “I like it” when reading your business proposal, it is an indication of adhesion. When he says “that’s interesting” understand that he means “for someone else.” On paper, too much space between the pronoun “I” and what follows betrays a sense of doubt, says David Lieberman. The man who produced that handwritten declaration that “I love you” is therefore, unfortunately, only half sure that he does.
5. Don’t be fooled by long speeches:
Five o’clock in the morning, the jangle of keys, and your teenager comes home with the head of a Tim Burton hero. Next, a spiel of verbal diarrhoea explaining how his phone got stolen from his scooter, leaving his line blocked all night…outside the nightclub. Not like he helps you with any details in your efforts to find the culprit… You know what the police say – witnesses who are overly talkative? It smells of a hoax!
6. Spy on the hands:
Your man swears it was the broken feather mattress at Mercure hotel that so brutally scarred his back. Does it wear you out trying to believe him? Note what his hands are doing when he speaks. If you see cover his mouth, touching his nose, stroking his chin, going through his hair, rubbing his cheek, no doubt, you other half is lying to you shamelessly. Stop wasting your time and energy.

Sure so complicated? I only look at the face and I know if he lie most of the time.
