How do you know if someone's lying?

[Tatabita]

How do you know when some talking to you is lying or telling you the truth? My sister lies a lot and usually I don't know when she is. How do you know when someone's lying to you?

Body language, they look away or cross their arms etc

When you meet someone new you unfortunately must assume they are not being 100% honest. They may not be lying totally but can choose to hold back. Over time as you learn to trust them it becomes easier to tell when they lie in many ways.


Are you always honest or would you lie to protect something?

[Tatabita]

I think I 97% don't lie cuz oc everybody lies.

[BarryLiverstone]

Right so you do lie sometimes or say least don’t answer fully. But doesn’t it hurt when someone lies to you?

[Tatabita]

When I find out, yes it does. That's why I want to be able to detect lies easily.

[BarryLiverstone]

Even if you learned about body language, tone of voice, over talking, and avoidance (all those are ways of detecting lies) people will continue to be deceptive.

When you do lie later on do you say sorry tho?

[Tatabita]

I don't know because I never paid attention when I lied.

Well, there is an entire class of science of lie detection.

If you wanna know, send a PM - I ain't teaching anyone how to detect lies (and then to be a better liar) publicly.

[FireFox001]

De tényleg, ha érdekel, PM. :)

[Tatabita]

What is a PM?

[FireFox001]

Private Message, or simply a message. Again, I ain't't teaching the userbase to lie (that easily).

i am usually pretty good at remembering what someone said , so when when what they said didn't match what they did , it means they are liar
