What are other PROVEN body-language signs which indicate the speaker MAY be lying?
January 20, 2011 3:51 pm at 3:51 pm #730751believer3ParticipantThey offer shorter responses, make more speech errors – more um’s, er’s ah’s…blink more, fidget more. They change their voices, are overly defensive, try changing the subject by using humor or sarcasm.
January 20, 2011 3:57 pm at 3:57 pm #730752AinOhdMilvadoParticipantWhat definite sign to know the person is lying (IF their name is Clinton) is that their lips are moving.
January 20, 2011 4:02 pm at 4:02 pm #730753watermelonMemberbeliever…wow!
How did you put that together so fast?
Makes a lot of sense…t.y.
January 20, 2011 5:02 pm at 5:02 pm #730754HealthParticipantWhy don’t you watch that show “Lie to me”? He is supposedly an expert in telling when people are lying. Maybe you can pick up a few tips.

LOVE that show!
January 20, 2011 6:55 pm at 6:55 pm #730757hudiParticipantTouching the mouth or putting the fingers close to the mouth are supposed to be signs if lying.
January 20, 2011 7:08 pm at 7:08 pm #730758Derech HaMelechMemberI remember reading something somewhere about how if someone looks either to the right or left (don’t remember which side) it means they are lying because it indicates they are accessing their imagination instead of memory. Or something.
What are the signs of someone being vague?
January 20, 2011 7:34 pm at 7:34 pm #730759nfgo3MemberHow do you know when someone is NOT lying but is talking about something he/she knows nothing about and is wrong, but just likes to yack away? When he/she is in the Coffee Room. (Does not apply to me.)

That joke is so prejudiced.
Some lawyers are women.
January 23, 2011 2:37 am at 2:37 am #730768Midwest2ParticipantThere are no “proven” signs that a person is lying. In fact, the most effective liars of all are sociopaths (also called “psychopaths” or “anti-social personality”).
Sociopaths do not react to lying the way normal people do – in fact they have neurological abnormalities that cause their brains to react differently to the stress of lying. They also do not feel empathy with other people (although they can do a wonderful job of acting as if they do.)
Sociopaths are one reason that lie detector evidence is no longer accepted in court. Sociopaths lie like rugs and show no reaction on the machine, while a normally nervous person can show up as “guilty.”
Don’t even assume that you can tell if a person is lying. You might end up buying the Brooklyn Bridge or contributing to another Madoff. When in doubt – back out. Whether it’s a shidduch or a business deal, check it out carefully.
January 23, 2011 4:49 am at 4:49 am #730769watermelonMemberBeing the victim of cruel lies is so maddening.
People tell me to “fight fire with fire” ,but I will NEVER,EVER stoop so low.
If you are reading this,and you have publicly slandered someone in your life,LISTEN to that little whisper in your head telling you to retract your false words.
In the next world,the timer isn’t ticking anymore.
January 23, 2011 4:51 am at 4:51 am #730770watermelonMemberHey,thanks for hearing me out,anonymous-invisible-virtual friends!
January 23, 2011 5:35 pm at 5:35 pm #730771Sister BearMemberIf their pupils dilate (if they grow bigger) then its a sign they’re lying.
Also if their a righty and look to the right (I think) they’re making it up. But check that out yourself. Ask yourself a question where you need to remember something (like what did you have for dinner last night or whatever) and check which side you look up too. The other side is the imagination side
