10 Ways to Detect a Liar in Just Seconds

How to catch a liar? 

Lying has become very common nowadays, and in some cases, it is very difficult to differentiate between a liar and a truthful person because people lie with great boldness and self-confidence.

But there are still some very simple and effective ways to detect a liar, by which you can easily measure whether the words of the person in front of you are false or true.

A new study has found that relying on your instincts to distinguish between truth and falsehood is an ability that is hidden in your subconscious.

Psychologists believe that if we want to find out the liars, we should rely on our first reaction and not draw conclusions after deliberation.

Psychologists say that in general, we are not very good at identifying liars. Our ability in this regard is slightly better than drawing conclusions from a coin toss.

A report published in the journal Psychological Science states that our success rate increases when we use our brain subconscious. Of course, the human brain can scan things in a much better way than any machine. But for this, we need to open the window of our subconscious and take stock.

However, some common symptoms can help to identify liars. When a man is lying, sometimes his body language does not match his words. Therefore, to know that if someone is lying, it is important to consider the movements of the person's eyes, hands, and arms. 

Here are just a few of the techniques that can help you identify a liar

1- They do not reveal their name

When a liar is asked about something, he tries not to give his name, instead, he describes things as if they happened by chance or someone else did them.  For example

If a pot is broken in the kitchen and the person who makes the most noise about it, 'This pot is broken', 'Who broke it?' or 'I found this pot broken', then surely the pot is broken by his hands. 

A true person will apologize and admit that the pot was broken by his own hand.

2- Confusing words

A liar will use deceptive words to mislead others. And will try to prove his innocence by making up a story, but the truthful person will easily admit the truth. The greatest sign of a true man is that he is brave and steadfast. And he admits his mistakes fearlessly when a liar tries to hide his truth in stuttering words. For example

To identify a criminal, if a person gets angry when he sees a criminal and says, 'I don't know them, do you think I know criminals?', Then there is a strong possibility that he will know the criminals.

On the contrary, the true man will say in the usual way that he does not know these criminals.

3- Head movements

Pay attention to the movements of the head to identify the liar. Observations show that a liar leans his head back when he speaks, and then he leans his head to the left, sometimes a man who is lying, he also leans his head slightly forward as if something annoying is happening to him.

By paying attention to these things, you can easily find out whether the person you are talking to is telling the truth or a lie.

4- Movements of eyes

A lying person can also be identified by the movements of the eyeballs in his eyes. In fact, a liar never speaks while looking into your eyes, but constantly rolls his eyes from left to right during his conversation. Man's eyes do not support his lies. Whereas a true man always speaks with a peek in his eyes. 

5- Sharp breath

This sign of a lying person is different from other signs and is a little difficult, but if a person speaks with a sharp breath, then it is understood that the person is lying. Because when a person lies, he is naturally disturbed, for fear of being caught lying.

And because of this anxiety and fear, sometimes a person's breathing starts to move faster. While a true man speaks calmly.

6- Sudden silence

On the other hand, if a person becomes completely silent while speaking, and restricts his bodily movements, then know that he is lying. Research has shown that when lying, the emotional state of such a person makes him silent. They may be taking a hard line in response to the psychological state created by lying.

7- Repeat things

Sometimes a liar repeats things to prove his point and even insists on certain sentences as if he is convincing himself that he is telling the truth. The motive of such people may be to delay so that they can have more time to prove their falsehood.

8- Giving unnecessary information

A person who lies sometimes starts giving unnecessary information about what is being asked, their only purpose is to show that they do not have anything to hide. By doing so, they can make an impression on people that they are being truthful.

9- Artificial smile

Psychologists say that you can only guess by looking at a smile that the addressee is telling the truth or hiding the truth because human emotions do not support lies.

If a person is expressing happiness, sadness, or love in his speech, and he is not truthful in his expression, the expressions on his face will appear slowly and will suddenly disappear. While true emotions come to the face before expression and last a long time.
Many liars use smiles to reassure themselves and to look normal.

Dr. Burnke says that all the nerves on the face take part in a real smile, and the face looks fresh to the viewer. A true smile lasts longer and dissolves slowly. When the artificial smile is limited to the lips and the nerves around it. Cheeks and eyebrows remain normal during an artificial smile.

10- They hide their face

Sometimes when a person does not want to answer someone's question, he puts his hand on his face or mouth. Everyone easily recognizes that such a person is lying.

Final Note

Many people lie, some for their own benefit, some out of expediency, and many just for the sake of disturbing others.

It is said that the first lie is difficult, the second lie is hesitant and the third lie does not feel remorse or regret. And then man begins to lie with confidence. But experts say that just as the greatest culprit leaves behind a sign that helps us to reach him, so too does a liar do something that opens the door to doubt.

You may have never lied, but you may have come in contact with several people whose lives have hurt your confidence or hurt you. But by following the methods mentioned above, you can avoid any such loss in the future.
