GOTCHA!!!

          Sometimes, non-verbal messages contradict verbal messages. For example, you will be able to see if a person is lying or not just by looking at his or her body language. It is actually quite easy to detect whether a person is lying to you or not just by looking out for this signs in them :-

BODY LANGUAGE

• A person who lies will avoid eye contact.
• Constantly touching his face, mouth or throat.
• Scratching the nose or behind the ears.

INTERACTIONS AND REACTIONS

• A liar is uncomfortable facing his questioner and may turn his head away.
• A liar also gets ver deffensive if he is found guilty.

EMOTIONAL GESTURES

• Gestures and expressions don't match the verbal messages. For example, frowning when saying " I Love You."

VERBAL CONTEXT AND CONTENT

• A liar may leave out pronouns and speak in a monotonous tone.
• Liars sometimes avoid lying by making not making direct statements. They imply answers instead of directly denying something.

         To sum up, just because someone exhibits one or more of these signs does not mean that the person is lying. However, if you are suspecting a person and the person constantly tends to react in this manner, then, there are possibilities that the person is lying. Always remember, look out for a person's non-verbal movements when he or she is talking because it can actually convey a lot of messages to you.
