Many are interested in the ability to identify and see a lie, because no one wants to be deceived. However, to check the sincerity of a person, special devices are not needed, sometimes it is enough to pay attention to some indirect signs that appear in many people at the moment when they begin to tell a lie.
Instruction manual
one
To make the story believable and convincing, many people try to add a variety of real facts to the fictional story, far from the topic of the conversation. For example, if you want to find out about the people your interlocutor saw, and he, in turn, wants to hide it, then as a result you will hear detailed stories about food, weather, events, but he will only touch upon the names of the people themselves. That is, you will be given a ton of information that does not affect the subject of the conversation.

The use of words or phrases from your question, as well as the complete repetition of the question itself until the moment when a person begins to speak, already indicates insincerity. In such situations, many people, trying to hide the truth, take time to come up with a believable version.

Attempts to clear the throat, cough, change the pace of speech from normal to faster - all this indicates that the person is nervous and, possibly, tells you a lie. This is also indicated by an unintended change in the voice and tone of the interlocutor. If a person constantly comes back during his story and supplements it with new facts, then this indicates his insincerity. After all, a story just made up is extremely difficult to supplement, there is a big risk of getting confused and lost.

If a person constantly touches the face with his hands, for example, touches the nose bridge, scratches his nose or covers his mouth, this indicates that he is subconsciously closing from you. In addition, if a person steps from foot to foot or takes small steps backward, then this indicates his desire to end the conversation so as not to tell any important thing. It is especially important to pay attention to the movements of the interlocutor when you ask questions (for example, leaning your head back - this is an attempt to close).
5
During the conversation, try to monitor the emotions of the person. If a person tries to hide something from you, then his emotions can be delayed, remain on his face for too long, appear earlier than necessary. This suggests that the person is distracted from your conversation and shows emotions that are actually not there.

Excessive emotions can also show insincerity. For example, if a person reacts too violently or, conversely, speaks too politely with you, this may mean that he is trying to hide his true feelings behind the mask of others.

The eyes are the mirror of the soul, they occupy a certain position in accordance with what area of the brain is now involved. Knowing the main points, you can guess what the mind of your interlocutor is busy with. For example, if a person looks in the upper right corner, this means processing visual images, if in the upper left corner - he invents an image. Eyes are directed to the right - the person remembers, to the left - he invents sounds. A look to the left and down is an analysis of your emotions, and to the right and down is a reflection on the situation.
