5 Foolproof Ways To Spot A Liar.

Oh, I didn't eat that last cookie. It must have been somebody else. What could be more intriguing than a true detective story in your real life? Reading faces, making suppositories, oops, I meant to say making suppositions, finding the truth.No, it's not about lies being everywhere, but about the ability to find it out, feeling like you have a superpower.

Here are 5 things that can show you that your interlocutor, that's a big word that means one who takes part in dialogue or conversation, is insincere with you.

1. Liars Avoid Mentioning Themselves.

No, really. They seldom do it. Surely, you can remember one of those funny situations in your childhood when your mom's favourite cup is broken by you. What did we all say? Mom, there's your favourite cup broken on the kitchen floor. Especially because we just tried to avoid any kind of punishment. The truth about the cup should sound the following way. Mommy, I have accidentally broken your favourite cup. I'm sorry.

2. Liar's Speech Attitude Is Negative.

On the whole, liars can be pessimistic. Look what people usually say if they are late for the office or an important meeting. Bet it's something like, sorry, I'll be late. This stupid traffic jam! Not my fault! Do you know why they swear so much and blame everyone but themselves? It's pure psychology. Showing negative attitudes means feelings subconsciously guilty for their lives. Who could ever tell?

3. Liar's Explanations Are As Simple As Possible.

Our brain is ready to be helpful all the time. It also works for people who are going to cheat somebody. The thing is that liars typically explain everything in simple terms because their brain refuses to think of a complicated lie. Judgments or evaluations are complicated things that are difficult to calculate. A good example is an exam failure. We usually know that the test is bad because we're just not ready enough. The usual lies in such cases are, I don't know why I failed. Though it's rather simple to admit that you haven't learned enough information.

4. Liars Use Confusing Wordings.

Despite simple explanations, liars use complicated and intricate sentence structures, unnecessary words and insignificant but plausible-sounding details that help them inflate their deceit. Probably this is explained by them being unsure if they can tell the truth. Or, they are trying to hide something. Who knows? Be attentive to overloaded structures in some unnecessary words. This is how liars show themselves in court.

5. Liars Use Too Many Details.

In a simple story. Ask yourself to tell aloud the story of your last shopping. We are sure it will look like this, I went to the grocery store and bought everything I needed. Then, I went home and watched my favourite TV show till midnight. See? No excessive details. The same simple situation with a liar will be different. Surely, he went out of the apartment, then he met his neighbour, Jim. And they were talking for exactly five minutes. Then, he looked at the other side of the road and saw a sky-blue truck. Someone must have been moving out. At the grocery in the next block, he bought two packets of popcorn and a bag of potatoes. On his way back, he stopped to smoke for three minutes, yes, he timed it, and while smoking, he saw a small funny neighbour girl named Gina. At home, he was cooking for two hours, then had dinner, then he went to bed, and he fell asleep. A liar thinks the details make the story true to life, which is wrong. We do not memorize our automatic habitual actions. There is a hint for this point. If you're talking to a liar, he will be trapped in all of his imaginary excessive details.

And finally, here's the bonus hint we promised. People's eyes never lie. Imagine that all the hints mentioned above show that the person is sincere, but you're still not sure. This can happen. Then, you have nothing left except to watch the person's eye reaction. Scientifically speaking, when we know we're telling lies, we can't help but feel nervous. That leads to faster heart beating and pupil dilation.

All you need is to ask the question you want to be answered and watch the interlocutor, strictly in the eyes when he answers. You'll see everything you want. Anyway, we hope that this information will be helpful for you, and you will never let anyone trick you!
