| To tell if someone is lying to you
Posted: 3/25/2008 8:43:39 AM | Unless I see first hand stats, I cannot honestly say that I believe this, because when I lie, or have tried to lie about why I was late for work (I hate my job...), I don't think I look to the left. I look to the left if I am sitting near a wall, which means I look to the left because there is a wall to my right. LOL.
It's an interesting article you introduced us to, but I am not sure if I believe this to be fact.
Most people, if not all people, cannot look someone straight in the face when they are lying. Some however, have mastered this, and can, and some I bet, don't look left when they are lying. | |

Posted: 4/6/2008 8:37:42 PM | Given: Tribes A and B are cannibals. Either tribe A or tribe B is known to always lie. How to tell which tribe lies?
Answer: Ask both tribes if they're cannibals.

Posted: 4/7/2008 1:44:52 AM | | lol, i have to comment on this one, right , left,, has nothing to do with lieing or telling the truth, as ex law enforcement i can say thats a crock, we have tactics and or our own body language signals well look for, stammering, eyes darting from one direction to the other as a caged animal would, no direct eye contact, repeating a question, or answering with a question or something totally off topic, crossing and uncrossing legs rapid motions, tone of voice changes, evsive answers, there are literally hundreds of things that can to the trained eye and ears detect deception. the only people to dispute your so called lie detector are themselves liars? while this may work in some limited way for you, it is by no means fool proof, before you say that anyone who disputes this is a liar, i suggest seeking counseling. its simply not the case. | |

Posted: 4/7/2008 2:50:56 AM | | I thought we had to use the hot knife on tongue method...hmmmm I guess that would bring too much attention to you. I was talking with someone once who used to do what one of the ladies on this post did and cut and paste everything I said. We argued all the time. It was as though anything and everything I said was under the microscope. You said that last Tuesday you worked on your car, ohh so now you say that you had a drink down at the bar....hmmm I guess if I tell you everything I did that would not make me a liar. Last Tuesday I worked on my car and then had a drink, oh wait I need to tell EVERY word I said on that date too..... Do you see? I agree with the law enforcement guy. You tell by their body language and whatnot. I don' t understand why every tidbit of information has to be so scrutinized. You are just dating!! If you thought he or she was a liar why are you with them? It seems to me that you want a fight!!!! "Can' t we all just get along?" | |

Posted: 4/7/2008 5:15:00 PM | To the person who wants to know how to tell if somone is typing you a lie, its easy, you need to use your intelligence, it is quite simple, a perosn who is dishonest is mroe focused on what on they are telling you than what you are saying, they are focused on themselves and answereing questions and generaly not asking any, they are too busy on the lies they are trying to get you to believe and not bothering to get to know you or suss you out, they are not generally interested in you, just in trying to put one over on you.......

Posted: 4/7/2008 5:21:53 PM | It can vary from topic to topic, they may be telling the truth about family, so they will ask about yours, if they are lying about their job, they will either do one of two things, change the subject and say little or nothing and redirect the question to you. or go on in detail and forget to ask about you.......
Dont get caught up by talking about yourself alot as some people often do, ask questions and listen carefully, lies dont generally add up, alot of people hear what they want to hear and that is why they can be easily fooled, especially people who talk about themselves all the time, and dont listen to what to other person is saying.....
If your hearing everything you want to hear, examine it very carefully, if its too good to be true then its usually a lie..... | |

Posted: 4/8/2008 6:40:25 AM | I agree with msg. 20 as far as:
The best way to catch a liar is to pay close attention to what they say and keep mental notes....or even write things down when you can.....Save emails and encourage them to write about themselves; then compare them later....anything you can do to catch the contradictions. No liar, no matter how smart, can keep track of it all for long without contradicting himself/herself.
...and would add this element: when the words are not in line with the behavior, good indicator the person is lying.
Body language is a tool (and only a tool, as the referenced poster indicated that there other reasons that could impact on a person's body language that don't necessarily indicate the person is lying) for discernment as far as an unskilled liar. However, IME, the more personality disordered skilled liars don't display the body language normally indicative of lying. It's very true that no matter how skilled a liar is, they do in fact lose track of their lies and over time, figuratively hang themselves with their own lies.
JMHO | |

Posted: 4/8/2008 8:06:35 AM | Thanks Steeler-fan-n-indy I agree can't we all just get along. I dated someone recently that kept lying, at first I couldn't tell but things started sounding fishy and then when I would call him on it he wanted to fight all the time so I high tailed it out of that relationship before weapons of mass distruction came out.  | |

Posted: 6/17/2008 4:46:01 AM | | I totally agree with thundergod71(d1379860). I am quite shy and have a hard time looking people in the eyes when I talk with them. I am also very nervous at times, especially during an interview...my facial expressions and body language can be quite deceiving alot of times...so I don't really base things off these two as much as I do to HOW one approaches the situation, verbally speaking. | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 3:56:39 PM | | Lies are like roaches. You see one, and there are 10 others you don't see. Look at your own lies before you attack someone else. My brother says honesty is what you do when no one is watching. | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 9:14:19 PM | I have to say, being very dominanly left-handed, and aware of this tendency... there are, indeed, exceptions. It doesn't matter what I'm thinking/talking about -- a fictitious story, a patient whose lab-work was interesting or difficult, the knitting pattern I'm working on -- I tend to look almost directly forward, but with a slight cant to the left. I've actually asked friends to observe my body language and let me know, impartially, if I tend to favor one side or the other, and what the conversation was, and it was unanimous -- no matter what I'm talking about, who I'm talking to, and where the conversation is taking place, I tend almost entirely to the left.
I'm not disputing the validity of this report, but I am saying that there are a few exceptions out there, and please, be aware that they are there. Those of us who tend left would appreciate it. | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 9:57:12 PM | | I suspect some truths are moments of euphoria inspired by Bud, Jim, and Jack. Yes, it's better to tell the truth and only have one story. Someone might be listening! | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 11:58:39 PM | Ummm I'm ambidextrous....
Does that mean that when I'm lying I stare straight ahead?
In truth, a good liar, always wins because he/she believes their own lies....
Then there is the 'false tell'. This is when you condition through prior setups, a fake signal that you are lying...
for example...
I let people perceive a twitch on my left eye, when telling an obvious lie... They associate the twitch, thinking it to be subconcious, with me lying...
However, later by controlling the twitch, and using at will, it becomes a method of validating my statements by it's absence.... | |
