How to Tell If Someone Is Lying, According to Experts
, licensed psychologist, explains. Before jumping to conclusions, consider the broader context of the situation, she advises. But sometimes, you just can’t shake that feeling in your gut that you’re being lied to.
A person’s nonverbal gestures can give a lot of away. Someone who is lying might demonstrate closed-off body language, Dr. Kerwin explains, like crossed arms or crossed legs. “Their calm body language starts to shift to a different state,” Donaldson adds. “That’s them expelling their nervous energy.” They might fidget, shuffle their feet, crack their knuckles, or even sweat.
Donaldson points to the mouth, a spot that might be a little less obvious. “When someone quickly folds in their lips before they speak, it signals that they may be holding back information or are about to state something that may not be fully true,” she explains. “It signals that they are not saying what they really want to say.”
“They use phrases like ‘honestly’ or ‘here’s the truth,’” she adds. “That’s them entering convincing mode.”It’s not a great sign if they can’t keep their story straight. It might contradict what they previously told you, further confusing things and making you question what’s true and what’s not. To avoid this, “they may dodge questions, change the subject, or give vague, noncommittal answers,” Dr. Kerwin says.Perhaps a lesser-known tell is the lack of personal pronouns in someone’s story.
