If you notice these signs, you may be dealing with a liar
Things liars often do without even knowing it.
We’ve all met people who don’t tell the truth, but some are better at hiding it than others. I’ve seen how skilled liars can manipulate situations, twist things, and make you question your own judgment. The good news is that their behavior often leaves clues…well, if you know what to look for.
Liars often give themselves away through their body language, reactions, and inconsistencies in their stories.
If you suspect someone is lying to you, pay attention to these behaviors, they might confirm what your gut’s already telling you.
If You Ask Them a Question, They Repeat the Question and Become Nervous
One of the easiest ways to spot a liar is by how they respond when you ask a simple question. Instead of answering right away, they may repeat the question back to you. This gives them extra time to come up with a believable answer.
For example, if you ask them something like, “Where were you last night?” they’ll probably say something like “Where was I last night?” it’s often a sign they are taking their time to formulate their answer…well, their lie.
