Just as a person's words can say a lot about him, appearance and gestures can end up revealing some things also. No need to pick up the lie on the phone or wait for it to tell you the truth. Facial expressions and leg movements can indicate the exact moment when she is not being honest with you.

Believe it or not, but sometimes it is enough to know how to observe the various and small signs that the body – of the one who is lying – sends to start suspecting that that person is blatantly lying. Stay tuned!
10 main signs to detect a lie
A host of factors and attitudes can give clues as to the honesty or dishonesty of a report or the good intentions of a particular person. The main ones are:
- the eye movement
Usually when a person is right-handed and needs to remember something, they tend to look up and to the left. If she is left-handed and lying, she will look up and to the right. That's why this mechanism is important to reveal whether someone is telling something from memory or making it all up.
- The way the person speaks
There are several signs that may end up revealing a lie. In this case, it depends on how the person speaks. Use too much detail? Do you talk too fast and change your voice tone? Do you repeat your words? Careful. Especially if she doesn't directly answer the question that was asked by you. Also pay attention if she uses more difficult words, which she normally does not use in everyday life, if she avoids making certain statements and things like that.
- fast breathing
When many people lie, they also tend to breathe heavier. That's why they raise their shoulders more and speak in a higher pitched voice, different from how they speak in everyday life.
- look away
When they are uncomfortable, they tend to look away, so they don't keep it fixed on you.
- sweat a lot
The body usually perspires more after the discomfort and nervousness of telling a lie.
- Respond very quickly
Since most people who lie create a whole story first, they tend to respond much more quickly to a question asked rather than thinking of something to say.
- Restlessness or immobility
Those who are lying tend to stay completely still or the opposite: they don't stop moving. When they are restless, they tend to tap their feet, shake their heads, or rock their bodies from side to side.
- Rigid and repetitive movements
When trying to maintain control of the situation, they tend to move repetitively and mechanically.
- Try to get away from the speaker
As the person will probably be very anxious about lying, they will tend to physically move away to try to control their nervousness.
- Blink slower
Liars tend to blink more slowly, as an unconscious effect. Therefore, the eyes tend to stay closed for longer.
After this list of tips, we hope that we have helped you to understand when someone tries to be dishonest.
