October 29, 2009 5 Ways to Tell Someone is Lying to You
Hey, love muffins! Have you ever had the overwhelming feeling someone was lying to you, but because liars lie so well you just couldn’t read the signs and doubtfully took the lie as truth? …only to find out later that what you apprehensively took as truth turned out to be a lie! It’s a long, hard lesson in this life to learn to trust your gut, but often times, giving someone the benefit of the doubt often overshadows what you know in your heart is falsity. So when the truth finally comes to light you’re screaming, “I knew it! If only I read the signs!” Well, there are many and not everyone can afford a lie detector machine. So first, trust your gut, second know the sings and lastly, read the first five tell-tale signs and look for the second half next week!
1.) Shifty eye contact - is a dead giveaway. If your seeking truth from someone who is lying, they will, oftentimes, fail to look you directly in the eye. In some cases, liars will quickly glance to the right or downward. But if you’re dealing with an expert liar, the eye contact will probably stare you in the eyes and lie, but if that eye contact mimics that of a staring contest, they’re lying!
2.) Use of contractions - if you’re asking questions and probing for the truth and the person you’re drilling says, “I wasn’t at the bar with another girl,” they’re probably telling the truth. But if they say, “I was NOT at the bar with another girl,” they’re probably lying. My research concluded that the use of a contraction is likely true.
3.) Switch the subject - now when you’re drilling the person trying to find the truth and from your frustration alone you “drop it” or “forget it” and change the subject. If the person immediately complies, jumps on board with new subject and is seemingly relieved, they’re lying!
4.) They go soprano - if the person you suspect is lying vocal pitch changes to soprano, and in worst cases falsetto, when explaining themselves or defending their plight, you already know! This is a tell-tale sign of stress and anxiety. If you’re telling the truth there’s no need to feel stressed or pressured, right? Right.
5.) The emphatic “huh” - if you ask someone a specific question related to a statement they made previously and they answer you with a “huh.” They’re buying time to think of what to say next … you heard me! You probably caught them off guard and they’re not ready to answer you and tell the truth!
You see love muffins there are several signs that will out a lie, you just have to know what to look for. This should help anyone who is looking for answers and most importantly, the truth. Look for the second half next week! Double kisses!

Someone once told me if someone looks up and to the right they are concocting a lie. If they look up and to the left they are simply recalling the facts. not sure how true it is.

lol. People use your brains. If you ask someone something and you think they’re lying truly tap into your intuition. Every person is different and to generalize like this is just ignorant.

OOO, this is really helpful! With this, my two suspects that I suspected of lying has done all of these things. And yes, I was suspect at the soprano…or falsetto. LOL
