Can you tell if a person is lying to you or not? If so, how?

Most of the time yes.....If it is a good "friend" can tell by their attitude but normally if you watch a person and pay attention to the way they are responding you can tell if it is a lie...most people will look behind you instead of looking you in the eyes if they are lying or look down. all I know is if you lie to me shame on you...lie again shame on me...and then thats it you won't see me as much as you use to...have no need for liars

yes, most of the times i can, but then again i'm also a sucker for forgiving them...but not twice. i read it on their faces. they are simply different somehow.

i would say usually. though i'd hate to think someone would feel the need to lie to me. i'd say it's a gut feeling and years of " studying " people.

Different people do different things. Usually, if they can't look you in the eye they are lying... They could wring thier hands. The tone of thier voice could change. They could tug at thier clothes. You need to be a body language expert to figure it out.

yes u can...1. u must be a keen observer 2.u must look into the eyes of the person while talkin so u can ead their expression. 3. ask confidently anything n listen to the voice for any clue of tremor. 4. if on confrontation the person starts yellin n and all be careful tht person is surely surely hiding something.

just focus on how they act when told the lie and when they finally told the truth

Yes, I can tell by how their voice changes when they are talking. Also I can tell by their body language, sometimes they step back when they are lying or shift back and forth, or just look at your nose or around if they are lying.

Sometimes I can by their body landuage. My sister on the otherhand, I can tell everytime she lying. She never looks me directly in the eyes and she is fidgety.

Yes you can tell by their eyes of course, and their body language also.

how to spot liars...... - hey this book is nice to know how to spot liars............really awesome
hey its really very easy in front of me......the liars feel so confortable that they speak up themselves that they are lying.... actually you know liars themselves react in the manner... 1. you will not hear when the liars has spoke their last word...eg: i was in the gard....(en).... 2. They dont look into the eyes... 3. some liars are smart....they change the topic so quickly that you never realise....but easy to catch them....observe it if u find any situation... 4. liars do their work very quickly and nervousness shows that... in all liars are easy to catch....so not to worry about them.....its really fun to observe a liar and specially when you know he's lying....
