We offer you another TED talk, where Pamela Meyer, author of the book LIESPOTTING, talks about techniques for recognizing a person who is lying to you and why we all lie on average from 10 to 100 times a day! The video is quite long, and therefore we have outlined these rules below.
[ted id=1246 lang=ru]
- a liar always tries to distance himself from an uncomfortable topic. Bill Clinton lied: «I have never had sexual relations with this woman.» Double reinforcement of non-involvement only emphasizes that the person is lying;
- liars often say «...honestly...»;
- repeating a question before answering is a common indicator of a lie;
- a liar always looks too much into the eyes. They do not freeze, but often do not move the upper body;
- liars smile falsely;
- liars accompany the story with a lot of details;
Watch the episode «The Big Bang Theory » (rewind to 7:50) where Sheldon Cooper wove an unraveling web of lies :)
- liars can never tell their stories backwards;
- liars often turn to face the exit.;
liars always try to sit down and stand up so that there is a physical obstacle between them and the interlocutors – a table, closed hands or a long distance.
