Sometimes it's difficult to tell if someone is lying, but some studies have shown that when the eyes dilate this is a sign the person is not telling at least the whole truth. 'The eyes are the windows of our soul!'

Here are some signs:

  • When confronted the person who lied may protest in a rage. They just got caught in a lie!
  • They may shuffle from foot to foot.
  • They may not look you directly in the eyes.
  • If they do look you directly in the eyes then check out those pupils!
  • Go red in the face.
  • Pick or bite their nails.
  • Stomp off to another room or slam out of the house, etc.
  • Twisting things so it appears it's your fault.

These are but a few. Instead of aggressively challenging the person be smart and trip them up. You can do this by talking about something completely different and then ever so carefully slip in something about the lying and catch them off guard. The first reaction you get from them should tell you the truth one way or the other.

How can you determine if someone is lying by body language?

Contrary to popular belief there are no common signs to detecting deception through body language. Body language is used to measure comfort levels, lying often causes the person to show signs of stress. Obviously if you observe someone looking stressed that doesn't mean they're lying To determine if someone is lying you must understand how that person thinks, what is going on their lives, what is their opinion on the subject, what is their opinion of you etc. Body Language is just one of many factor you need to consider.

Can you detect lying with body language?

There are no nonverbal signs exclusive to lying. Body language, at it's most basic, can only tell you how comfortable a person is. When a person lies they typically show signs of distress however it is impossible for the observer to accurately conclude that those stress signs are as a result of deception. In order to figure out if the person is lying you must take numerous variables, other than body language, into consideration; that persons typical behaviour, that persons current emotional state, that persons opinion of the subject, that persons personality etc. There are dozens of these variables. Some people have a natural ability at compiling these variables and can accurately predict if a person is lying (see "Wizards Project"). It is, however, possible to tell if a person is hiding their true emotions through observing slight facial expressions. See "Telling Lies" by Dr. Paul Ekman for more information.
