🔍💬 Wondering if someone’s pulling a fast one on you? A body language expert has revealed the top 15 signs that someone might not be telling you the truth — and it’s more than just avoiding eye contact or fidgeting.
Key clues include:
1. Long pauses before answering questions 🤔
2. Rapid blinking 👀
3. A noticeable rise in vocal pitch 🎤
4. Excessive eye contact paired with defensive body language like arm folding 🙅♂️
5. Sneaky leftward glances 👓
6. Crooked smiles and shoulder shrugs that hint at deception 🤷♀️
We all think we have a great poker face! In fact, 34% of us Brits reckon we nail it routinely, whether that’s at work or socially. But don’t forget, our body giveaway can sometimes be just that — even if we think we’re masters of disguise.
According to behavioural specialist Judi James, being overly confident in your fibbing prowess might actually be your downfall. Techniques like playing with your hair or nervously touching your face could give you away. And those trying to appear trustworthy often end up looking more suspicious! 🤨
But before you start calling everyone out, remember, body language isn’t a precise science. Sometimes, these ‘lying signals’ surface when someone’s just anxious or feeling pressured. It’s what they call The Othello Error.
So next time you think someone’s being a bit shifty, keep an eye out for these subtle yet significant indicators. After all, the truth may very well be lurking beneath a sly smile or a cautious glance.
Stay sharp, folks! 🕵️♀️✨
