Have you ever told lies? In the world we´re living in sometimes we need telling lies to survive or to grease the wheels of social discourse o even to get payoff cases in our lives. For example, you can´t tell your friends that their shirt seems tacky and garish as well as you can´t tell your boss that his/her presentation was insipidly mindless. But there are lies that are bold and blatant and there are so many people who tell it all the time to take advantages from each other. On the other hand there are lies which are told to cover situations like an extramarital affair while there are other ones which are told to avoid hurting the feelings of someone like the feelings of your granmma who just gave you that uggly socks and that itchy sweater but you couldn´t tell her the truth about what you really thought of those gifts, could you? Anyway, lying is a behavior and we actually starts developing this from our childhood when we learn, in “the art of deception” how to fib or tell lies with our mam and dad who most of the time encourage us to do it. Is it possible to spot a liar? In fact, there´s no surefire way to catch a liar, there are signals that most people show when they are deceiving, though. These signals can be detected through a single talk. How? It is easy, most people who are fibbing or telling bold lies can be catched thinking about what they will say or they can´t even look straight at other people´s eyes. And also, when you ask a question these people usually starts embroidering facts and spining around it over and over again. Besides that, usually liars cannot go straight to the point. However, what about specific signals that liars usually show? Well, there are so many clues that we can figure out to uncover a deception. By observing these people you will see that most of them show anxiety signals like fidgety and stiff arms. They cross their arms, slide their hands on each other, avoid looking at your eyes, their pulpills get dilated and also they start to stutter and to itch. So, these are just some specific signals you can notice when a person is telling untruth stories. What about you? What about me? Are we liars? So, to help you with you judgement, think about this: "Anything that is not accurate is a lie. You can argue that a lie done to make someone else feel better is relatively minor. But they have an effect. The bottom line is that a lie is a lie." Robert Feldman - University of Massachusetts psychologist. So now, are you a liar?
