   How to Spot a Liar: 7 Clues Anyone Can Use    
      
   Who hasn't heard the old saying "Liars never look you in the eye"? Here are a   
   few more tips from the experts on how to spot a liar, even if he is lying   
   right to your face.    
        
      
   1. Is her face giving it away?    
   You may think a smile can easily disguise your true feelings, but the   
   expressions that flash across a liar's face will give away what she's really   
   thinking--whether she knows it or not. Experts advise paying close attention   
   to hard-to-hide micro-   
   expressions; these clues are often so difficult to detect that even trained   
   experts have trouble discerning them. But you may be able to spot a liar by   
   the red color on her cheeks, since anxiety can cause people to blush. Other   
   indicators of lying?    
   Flared nostrils, lip nibbling, deep breathing, and rapid blinking, which hint   
   that the brain is working overtime.    
      
      
   2. Does the body language follow the story?    
   It's more important to examine a person's entire demeanor, as there's no one   
   feature that's apt to give away a liar. Honesty is characterized by features   
   that are in sync with one another--so besides posture, note the fit between   
   face, body, voice, and    
   speech. Like an animal avoiding detection, a liar may pull his arms and legs   
   inward or keep his movements to a minimum--anything to appear smaller. Liars   
   often shove their hands behind their back because those fidgety digits might   
   give them away.    
      
      
      
   3. How is the person smiling?    
   A smile can sometimes mask a person's true feelings. Pay close attention to   
   how a person smiles as well as other facial movements. You may be able to   
   detect the emotions he or she is trying to hide--such as fear, anger, and   
   disgust. A true smile will    
   incorporate both a person's lips and eyes.    
      
      
   4. How is the person speaking?    
   Although a change in voice can be the tip-off to spot a liar, experts say that   
   to be sure, you should also pay attention to a person's speech rate and   
   breathing pattern--if either speeds up or slows down, chances are you're not   
   hearing the whole truth.    
      
      
   5. What is the person saying?    
   Liars tend to avoid exclusionary words like "but," "nor," "except," and   
   "whereas," because they have trouble with complex thought processes. Also,   
   they are less likely to use the words "I," "me," and "mine." In their attempts   
   to distance themselves    
   psychologically from their tall tales, liars will tend to communicate using   
   fewer personal pronouns.    
      
      
      
   6. Is your subject behaving uncharacteristically?    
   Experts believe changes in a person's baseline--how she generally conducts   
   herself--are worthy of your attention. You should weigh rate of speech, tone   
   of voice, posture, and hand gestures against what you know, along with the   
   context of the situation.    
   When your husband says "I loved the tie you bought me" while he's wearing a   
   tight smile that doesn't reach his eyes, expect to see him in a turtleneck.    
      
      
      
   7. Is the question simple or embarrassing?    
   It's normal for someone to look away when asked a difficult question. But when   
   someone avoids your gaze when asked a simple question, you should be   
   suspicious.
