Monday Night Fact - Seven ways to tell someone is lying to you

1. Fidgeting – although quite apparent, some people don’t realize they have this nervous habit and therefore don’t try to do anything to hide it.

 2. Sweating – it is a most common neurovegetative reaction showing high stress levels.


 3. Avoiding eye contact – usually speaks of deception or guilt.

 4. Dilated pupils – if a person supposed to be lying happens to look you in the eyes, watch out for this sign of high stress levels.

5. Long pauses – if a person needs to come up with a lie straight away, they will normally take a tiny bit longer than usual to gather their thoughts. If there are frequent long pauses, there is something fishy about that person.

6. A high pitched voice – another vocal related sign found to be more common when lying.

 7. Too many protests – a person is more likely to be lying if using statements such as ‘i swear’ or ‘to be honest’. It indicates they don’t expect to be believed or trusted.
