5 Signs Someone Is Lying To You

Sometimes it's hard to spot a liar. Especially if they are as good as I was. I could convince even the biggest skeptics to believe my lies, because I studied Nonverbal Communication in college and became very good at it. With the help of Business Insider here are 5 signs someone is lying to you.

1 - Their head jerks rapidly: You're having a conversation with a friend about something and you ask that person a direct question. If their response contains a rapid head jerk, they are lying to you about something.

2 - They repeat things: There are two reasons a liar will repeat things. First is to convince everyone that they aren't lying and secondly, it buys time to come up with better thoughts.

3 - The mouth is covered: It's an easy way out. If you don't want to tell the truth, cover your mouth and the conversation is over. It's also a great way to mumble your way through a lying conversation.

4 - Too much info: This is my favorite one, because I could never stop myself from doing it when I was lying. Sure, details are great, but too many details is a great indication of a liar. The liar thinks it makes everyone feel like they are open and honest. NOPE!

5 - No blinking: Typically, liars will break eye contact, but a GREAT liar will stare you right in the eye and not blink. It's a form of control and manipulation. Just make sure the person your talking to isn't staring you in the eye for too long without blinking.
