How To Tell When Somebody Is Lying

I haven't posted in a week...gosh, you must all be so bored. I may only have time to post on the weekends since my life is going a bit hectic lately. But here is...A POST! //dun dun DUN//

How To Tell When Somebody is Lying

They don't look you in the eyes. They might once or twice, but it might be hard for them to maintain eye contact with you. Or the opposite. They may stare at you too much, with a cold and steady gaze. Really fast blinking is also a sign.

They repeat statements, because they want to insist that it's the truth. It also helps them to stall for time to let themselves think of more lies to back up the original lie.

They shuffle their feet. It means they want you to hurry up the interrogation and get the hell outta there. They're probably also nervous.

They get defensive if you refuse to believe the lie. Something along the lines of "Well, I didn't do it! What's it to you anyway? Stop picking on me!"

Look at their eye movements. If they're right handed, and they're remembering something, their eyes will move up and to the left. If they're making something up, however, their eyes will move up and to the right. Vice versa for left-handers. Don't use this as your only form of verification though. Check with the other facts.

Check which way they're leaning. Towards you means they are comfortable with what they're saying and they have nothing to hide. Leaning backwards probably means that they want to get out of it.

Interesting Little Gem I Discovered That May Not Actually Be True But This Is Based On My Own Experiences: If you have Skype, and you have signed in to it on a mobile device at least once, then whenever you go offline, your status shows as away (the yellow clock). So when you switch to invisible...I KNOW YOU'RE STILL ONLINE, PANSYCAKE (anyone see the Divergent reference there XD). So don't tell me you have to go when you don't because I can see what you're doing...//stalker face//

So yep, real quick post on the art of lying :)
