Top Ten Ways to Know If Somebody Is Lying

The Top Ten
1 They Don't Make Eye Contact

I believe that eyes can lie. To me the greatest lie is when people try to avoid their own truth and they focus on their distrust to other people, omitting their own lies. That's rather unfair and upsets me. I like clarity. Eyes are deceitful. Certain things that one person does or does not makes him/her a liar or not...

You can see the fear and the nervousey in their eyes. That's a dead give away.

Yeah most of the time they'll look away and not pay attention to you

2 They Say No Then Yes

I'm really bad at lying and this yes no thing gives me away.

3 They Pause Before Answering a Question

Yeah this one is blatant, or they don't know whether to tell the truth or not.

They might be panicking, or trying to come up with a lie.

I don't know about this one.

4 They Start Fidgeting

They'll do whatever it takes to bring attention away from the conversation

5 They Put Their Hands Behind Their Back
6 They Tell You Things That Make No Sense

Yeah they try to connect the dots of what happened without telling the truth but it doesn't add up

7 They Start to Sweat
8 They Don't Give a Simple and Straight Answer

This makes things confusing and indicates that they have something to hide and they're trying to draw attention away.

9 They Don't Want to Talk

If they don't want to talk about something and start getting agitated they probably have something to hide.

They will just walk away and avoid conversation then it's a for sure lie

10 They Can't Remember Details

Normally they'll say they can't quite remember something and then proceed to make no sense at all.

The Contenders
11 They Move the Suspicion Away From Themselves

Example:
Bill, did you do (insert accusation here)?

It could have been John because (insert reason here).

Yeah...

12 They Cry
13 They Try to Change the Subject

Best reason right here

14 They Say that They are Lying

Chances are, they won't say that.

15 They Put Their Hand Behind Their Neck
16 They Are Desperate to Go Home
17 They Get Red in the Face

A pure humiliation is coming they (a liars) way.

18 They Blink
19 They Look Down at Their Phones
20 They Touch Their Nose or Cover Their Mouth

People tend to touch the nose more when lying and a great deal less when telling the truth. This is perhaps due to a rush of adrenaline to the capillaries in the nose, causing the nose to itch.

21 They Talk in a High-pitched Voice
22 They Smile
