do you know the signs of someone lying?

I agree with the ones you have listed. So are there other tell tale signes that someone is lying? If my partner lies he starts to smile - I know that smile so well - he cannit lye to me. He only ever try to lye about small stuff to fool me - nothing mayor. I know others that gets a wrinkle in their chin - really! I also heard that people that are lying will look straight at you and blink very little. They have heard that this is what you do when you are honest, so they try to mimic that behavior - but take it too far. Honest people will not stare and stare at you all the time

When someone is trying to explain and it starts with " hhhmm ( thinking for quite a minute)" , "actually", " to be honest", "It's like this" ahahaa.. come on people.. if you mean what your'e about to say.. just say it... ahahahaa...

Well, I guess the most common one is that people don't look you right in the eye, but that's not true anymore, because everyone knows that, and now if someone's lying to you they would really look you right in your eyes, a little too much. Another interesting one I know is somewhat like Pinocchio's, when people lying they usually touch their nose or scratch it, because something happens in the body that is connected to the nose or something. I'm not sure exactly what it is but that's sign of lying too, if people bring their hands towards the nose or touch it. You could look out for that next time.

These are signs shown in movies but in reality this is not the case.'coz in our day to day life we all must have soemtimes or the other must have told lies and i dont htink at that time we had felt all this..and now today people say lie wth such confidence that u can never imagine even they r lieing...today its difficult to say whether some one is saying truth or lie

Here are some of signs according to lie detection . Physical expression will be limited and stiff, with few arm and hand movements. Hand, arm and leg movement are toward their own body the liar takes up less space.A person who is lying to you will avoid making eye contact.Hands touching their face, throat & mouth. Touching or scratching the nose or behind their ear. Not likely to touch his chest/heart with an open hand. Timing and duration of emotional gestures and emotions are off a normal pace. The display of emotion is delayed, stays longer it would naturally, then stops suddenly.Timing is off between emotions gestures/expressions and words. Example: Someone says "I love it!" when receiving a gift, and then smile after making that statement, rather then at the same time the statement is made. Gestures/expressions don’t match the verbal statement, such as frowning when saying “I love you.” Expressions are limited to mouth movements when someone is faking emotions (like happy, surprised, sad, awe, )instead of the whole face. For example; when someone smiles naturally their whole face is involved: jaw/cheek movement, eyes and forehead push down, etc.A guilty person gets defensive. An innocent person will often go on the offensive. A liar is uncomfortable facing his questioner/accuser and may turn his head or body away. A liar might unconsciously place objects (book, coffee cup, etc.) between themselves and you. Obviously, just because someone exhibits one or more of these signs does not make them a liar. The above behaviors should be compared to a persons base (normal) behavior whenever possible.

avoiding eye contact,pacing like they're trapped,and getting arguementative when questioned. i told my ex one time he was the last one to know he was lying LOL he did all these things.

rapid blinking.. won't look you in the eyes (though this one can come from other causes as well!)

it is hard because sometimes are cultural, for example lowering your head and not looking at the person you are talking to, gulping, are some but then some cultures never look people straight in the eye because they find it to be disrespectful.

all i know is that if you are talking to that person, he seems to be uneasy and will always look away.

I am not good at telling whether a person is not telling the truth or if he is honest with his words. There are times though that I distrust a man's words because, of his behavior as he says things. But there are some who are good at the art of hiding the truth. I usually get swindled because I am a very trusting person and I take pity easily to those who are in need (as I perceive). Now, that I have learned my lesson. I am more cautious.

I have heard this list of signs before but found a great flaw in them - many people who are simply nervous people, not because of lying but for example nervous talking to people in general may also show these same signs. I show all of these signs when asked to speak in front of a group.

From behavioral sciences I have learned, most will avoid eye contact, they fidget, sometimes talk quickly and try to change the subject quickly to avoid being caught. Those are some of the ways I have seen people lie.

If a person cannot look you straight in the eye then that might be a sign that they are lying. I find it hard to trust someone who can't look directly at me when they are telling me something.

I think the main signs of people lying are when they avoid eye contact, start to get unsteady/nervous, tend to change subject, and to be argumentive.
