How to Spot a Liar: The Walking Red Flag
We’ve all been in situations where we've been misled or manipulated and often blame ourselves, wondering, "What did I miss?" Look no further—Xiyren has the answers to help you spot dishonesty and avoid falling for it again.
How to tell if someone is lying
Relationship counselor Dr. Shay Avantgars shares insider secrets on how to be better at spotting dishonesty.
Eye Movements
Does the person look to the right after making a statement? Human body language can reveal a lot, and one key sign of lying is an inability to maintain eye contact. This could be due to subconscious guilt. If you don't catch it, they might get away with it!
Inconsistencies in Stories
People who lie often forget details or their stories don’t make sense. Joan, 45, from North London, shares her experience:
"At first, I thought I was going crazy. I could’ve sworn the story he told me before was different, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. A few days later, he said he took the dog for a walk by the river when he actually went to the pub. When I pressed him, he finally admitted it. Trusting my instincts was key."
This example shows how dishonesty can come to light.
Signs of Dishonesty
Without further ado, here’s the infamous list of signs to watch for:
Changes in Body Language
Exaggerated Details
Touching Their Face
High-Pitched Tones or Unusual Habits (e.g., biting nails or fidgeting)
