THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU CAN NOT FIND OUT IF A PERSON IS SPEAKING THE TRUTH OR NOT.THEY SOUND SO CONVINCING THAT ITS HARD TO FIND OUT.\nWHILE IN OTHER CASES IF YOU HAVE A DOUBT IF SOMEONE IS LYING TO YOU THEN KEEP ASKING THEM QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE TALKING AND NOTE THE CHANGE OF VOICE AND THEIR TONE.\nA PERSON WHO LIES TO YOU WILL KEEP STARING AT YOU TRYING TO CONVINCE YOU THAT THEY ARE SPEAKING THE TRUTH OR THEY WILL LOOK DOWN TO THE GROUND.AT THAT POINT THEIR ORIGINAL TONE OF VOICE WILL ALSO CHANGE.\nI HAVE NOTICED THIS WITH MANY PEOPLE.

I agree that asking would not work.  If you try asking here are some clues that he may be lying.  He says "What" when you ask him.  He asks for more details (what do you know) like "When" or "With who", he takes a longer time to respond (he's thinking of a lie), also it has been my experience that people are actually more calm when they lie, think about it if someone asks you if you did something wrong that you didn't do you'd be like "No Way!" and you'd get more agitated if they persisted.  But if you did do this bad thing you'd be kinda calm/monotone/Homer Simpson-like "No, I didn't do that" and you'd get more nervous if they persisted.  I would try spying on him first and see what you can dig up before you go asking questions that make you look distrustful.

sense his tone \nor remember a thing he told u and u think its a lie then ask him about it latter like a week or smt\nusualy ppl don't remember there lies for more than a cople of days ;)\ndo more than once and make it look like a casual Q. \ndon't make him feel ur investigating him or that u don't beleave him

I would. Most pathalogical liars do not want to be telling the lies they are telling, it's a compulsion. If they tell you it would most likely be because they want your acceptance and understanding of the situation.

No there is not.\nIn all of my years of lying and being lied to in various walks of life I've learned that everybody lies, everybody gives it away, and detecting a lie is more detective work than "dead give-away".\nYes there are lots of bodily quirks to pick up on when someone lies. These (like the eyes for example) reflexes really do not indicate a person is lying. They rather indicate that a person is nervous. Very often that is because they are lying but sometimes it is for any one of many other reasons. For example a murderer might pass a lie detector and even fool seasoned detectives, but you might fidget and cry and do all sorts of strange things if the cops stop at your door and ask where you were yesterday even if you were home quietly minding your own business.\nThe truth is to get to the bottom of a lie you have to be aware of what a particular person does when they lie. To do this you must be calculated and patient. \n1.)Wait to be told a lie that you know is a lie and begin to note any significant or slightly unusual behaviours (such as body language and voice tone out of the ordinary).\n2.) Engage the liar in a conversation where you request as much detail about the lie as you can. Make careful note of body language etc., and note the details of the conversation. Sound interested and convinced and you should get enough info for later.\n3.) Be patient. Find more proof.\n4.) You have to wait until the "LIE" surfaces a second time. You can elicit this it can be in the same conversation.\n5.) Make sure you heard right, ask them to repeat the lie. Make note of all body language etc.\n6.) Make a note of time date or other significant information at the time so you can remember enough to be certain for yourself that you know they have been caught.\n7.) Now this is where this all pays off. You sit your liar down and YOU initiate the conversation about any suspected lie. This time you start talking like your convinced and get them to repeat the suspected lie yet again. Watch the body laguage the whole time. You do not ever have to confront them.\n\nPLEASE NOTE:\nThis is a little trick meant to find out what a PARTICULAR PERSON does when they lie. It is meant to help determine the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN nervousness due to lying and other nervous behaviour one might exhibit when they are not lying. It is not meant to find out a lie. The liar always gives it away you just have to figure it out for your own liar.\n\nYou need a lie you know is a lie and they must think you believe it. The more you talk about the lie you know the more you have to watch and see. The more lies you do it with the more accurate you will become. This is something you can do dozens of times with a coworker or nieghbor before you confront them. The more often you do it before confrontation (if you choose confrontation) the more likely  you will be accurate. \nIf you make all of this happen (which could be done with someone you know but probably not a single encounter with a stranger) you should have a solid list of reflexes, behaviours, etc, that you can apply to ONLY THAT PERSON\nYou should be able to have no more than 95% odds that you can detect A person lying. If you want to keep your friends and family don't do this to them.\nYou will be surprised (and not too happy) to know who is really lying to you and about what. But I hope this helps and hope the lie is not too big. \nREMEMBER THE HUMAN MIND IS INCREDIBLE AND NOTHING IS FOOL PROOF.

It is in the details.  Guys lie in color.  They give you details you didn't ask for, want or are not part of the conversation.  If you pay attention they will slip up in some manner.  They always do and the truth comes out.  Be patient and you will find out soon enough.

it all depends on who they;re talking to. like if talking to a stranger u might or might not tell the truth. n if ur talking to a friend or a family member, then ur problee gonna be telling the truth unless u realy have to lie.

I don't believe anything that moron says. Best way to tell if Bush is lying is if his lips are moving.

You should ask him directly something you know he will lie about and you have proofs about the lie. I dont think you necessarily should do it in front someone else, but tell the liar next time you catch him lying there you will tell relatives and friends about his behavour and spread all around that he is not reliable.

They will avert their eyes or fidget, They will also have to spend longer thinking about a lie and either provide too much detail of non at all.\nThe best thing to do is to observe them and the way they act while you know they are not lying. Then when they do lie it will be obvious to you.

The first step to not lying is to quit doing those things that you feel you need to lie about. For instance, if you secretly smoke cigarettes and hide the fact from your mother/father/wife/husband, then it would be easier to just quit smoking. That way you would have no REASON to lie.\n\nThe second step is to become aware of your own lies. Often we lie, as you said, as if it was a small thing. Many people lie so much about 'small things' that at times they don't realize they are lying. You need to listen to everything you tell someone and then consider if it is a lie or not. You might be surprised at how much you actually lie.\n\nKeep in mind that often we begin lying before we realize it. For instance, if your friend asks you how big the fish was that you caught, most people will instinctively give a size estimate that they KNOW is bigger than the actual fish. However, in mid-sentence they may become consciously aware of their lie. If so, stop the sentence and say something like, "...wait a minute. Now that I think about it, it was only THIS big." There is nothing wrong with changing your answer to correct a lie. As far as the other person is concerned, you are just trying to remember the actual size.\n\nLastly, wake up every morning and commit yourself to telling the truth about EVERYTHING. Keep it in your mind throughout the day. Put something like 'TRUTH' as your screensaver or write 'FACTS' on a piece of paper near your desk to remind you. The more aware you are of lies, the less you will tell.\n\nI hope this helps. \n\nCafeZ

you have to watch their facial expressions. if they cant look at you in the eye when they say it , its probably not true. or if they beat around the bush instead of answering directly they are lying there is a ton of things to look for. the only time its hard to pick out a liar is when you first meet them then you dont know how they act at all much less when they are liars so just pay attention to detail when you are talking to someone and you will see what i am saying.  hope that this helps

Sometimes you have to lie to save peoples feelings. Other times you lie to save your neck. As long as it doesnt cause major problems or hurt someone its no big deal. I lie on this all the time...who cares? Noone knows me
