Using gestures to see if the other person is lying

Psychologists point out that gesture is a kind of unconscious action in many cases, which can more truly reflect the psychological state of the speaker.

If your partner is doing the following actions in front of you, you should be careful, he may be lying.

(1) Cover your mouth: when a person speaks, covering his mouth with his hand or fist is likely to indicate that he is lying.

(2) Touch the nose: This is a kind of cover up from the mouth, do this action to cover up, generally shows that the liar is more sophisticated cover up action, some gently under the nose rub a few times, some with almost invisible subtle action, quickly touch.

(3) Rub your eyes: rub your eyes when you speak or avoid looking at the other person's face when you lie to someone. This is a way to prevent eyes from leaking secrets. For example, a man often rubs his eyes hard. If he tells a big lie, he will turn his eyes to other places, usually to the ground. A woman usually touches her eyes gently under her eyelids, maybe because she is afraid of making up her eyes.

(4) Scratching the neck: scratching the neck below the earlobe with the index finger of the right hand also means that the speaker is lying. Psychologists observed this posture and found an interesting fact: liars rarely scratch their necks less than five times. This gesture may be a sign of doubt or uncertainty, indicating that the person is thinking: can the other person believe what I said.

(5) Touch the ear: This is a more sophisticated action. It seems to be an inadvertent action, but in fact, it is to cover up one's inner uneasiness.

In addition to touching the ear, some people will rub the back of the ear, pull the earlobe or pull the whole ear forward to cover the ear hole.

(6) Pull the collar or zipper: in the process of conversation, if you see the other person inadvertently pull the collar, you need to be more thoughtful and ask him to repeat what he said to you for not hearing clearly.

If the other party said a lie before, there will be a phenomenon of hesitation and hesitation in the following repeated answers. At this time, you can observe the other side's look again, whether the other side is lying or not, and you can judge whether it's all right.

Researchers in the United States used the form of role play to investigate nurses who deliberately lied about the patient's condition. The results showed that lying nurses used these gestures more frequently than telling the truth to patients. Thus, when people lie, their gestures will show a subconscious silent signal. If you pay attention to these signals, you will know how to distinguish truth from lies.
