How to detect lies

People lie for various reasons, be it power, advantage or money. Sometimes we lie out of fear. Sometimes we tell a white lie and we console ourselves that the lie is for a good cause. Lie whether white or otherwise is still a lie.

Body Language Of A Liar
A person who is lying will tend to avoid eye contact and does not look straight in the eye. The body language in term of physical expression is limited and stiff with few arm movements. When a right handed person looks to the top right before he answers a question, he is accessing the creative part of his brain - therefore he is lying. However there are people who are `reverse organised' - those who look to the left when they lie and vice versa. So do not be too quick to jump to conclusion.

Interactions and reactions
A liar tends to be defensive. A liar tends to turn the body away and feels very uncomfortable when faced with a questioner.

Something for sharing.
