  • Choice of words: Generally liars ask you to question again or says the same words that you said to them before answering something. 

3. Body language: A person’s body language has much to say about them. you can see their body language changing as the sign of lying.

  • Sweating: Generally people start sweating while they lie. But it can’t be termed as concrete sign as some people sweat due to nervousness or shyness.
  • Nods: It happens that when a person lies, he says yes and head nods like no or vice-versa. This can be helpful in clearly watching the intensions of next person.
  • Fidgeting: When people lie, their nervous energy is released in the form of fidget. Either they start to fidget with handkerchief or with something near to them.
