5.3. How to Spot a Lie

Disclaimer (And it’s not in fine print). This is not an exact science. Use it only to choose whether to investigate further or not.

Lying is said to increase flow of blood to the facial region and it said to cause itching
Look for these signs to probe further. An increase in the blood supply to the nasal region
An increase in blood supply to the ear lobes
An increase in blood supply to the area around the eyes
An increase in blood supply to the head
Also gestures like turning away; ‘closing up’
Speaking without Blinking
Words and emotions tell a story too; overly detailed answers to simple questions
Being more deliberate. For instance Isn’t, didn’t, won’t, shouldn’t become Is not, did not, will not, should not
Visible relaxation when the topic is changes
Delay in-between the words and the emotions

These are merely cues. Use them only to choose whether to investigate further or not. Don’t base your judgements on these.
