Lies are painful and deceptive.

That’s why we don’t just hate it, we also avoid those who lie to us.

When someone lies, they’re doing so to weaken you, to get an upper hand in some way, whether it’s in a relationship, business negotiation, or any other context.

Unfortunately, knowing when a person is lying can be a bit hard.

In fact, we’re better at identifying truths compared to spotting lies. We tend to over-assume that what someone is saying is the truth. This is called the “veracity effect.”

The truths is simple know. Lies are covered in layers of complexities. So, how do you know when someone is being untruthful or telling you bare-faced lies?

It would have been great if we had an in-built lie detector; an internal lie-o-meter.

But since we usually don’t, we have to rely on learning a set of skills that can help us spot lies quicker.

You can improve your odds of detecting when someone is lying by paying attention to these little details that most people miss.
