In interpersonal interactions, we sometimes encounter situations where some people are insincere and cover up the truth. These people may use all sorts of tricks to deceive us and make it difficult for us to detect their true intentions. However, liars often mess themselves up and can't hide some subtle clues. This article will explain what people who cheat on you often show their feet and explain the reasons behind these signs from a psychological point of view.
1. Eyes flickering.
When a person lies, they often don't dare to look the other person in the eye because of their weak hearts. This is because the eyes are the organ that best reflects a person's inner emotions, and liars are afraid that their gaze will reveal the secrets of their hearts. Therefore, when a person's eyes twinkle in front of you, it is likely to be hiding the truth.
2. Speech is too fast or too slow.
Liars sometimes speak too quickly because they are nervous, or deliberately slow down to hide their inner turmoil. When a person is speaking in front of you, if the rate of speech is abnormal, it can be an important clue that they are lying.
Third, the sound is unnatural.
Liars sometimes change their voices because of weakness, such as stammering suddenly or deliberately lowering their voices. This unnatural change in voice is most likely intended to cover up the inner panic and uneasiness.
4. Unconsciously touching your nose or ears.
Some people unconsciously touch their nose or ears when they lie. This is because when lying, the brain releases a chemical called "catecholamines" that causes the liar's nose to become congested and itchy, so they tend to touch their nose unconsciously. Similarly, the ears are one of the areas where liars tend to feel discomfort.
5. Avoid using affirmative tones.
Liars tend to avoid affirmative tones in their speech and instead use vague or uncertain expressions. This is because the liar lacks self-confidence and is afraid of being found out by the other party, so he will try to avoid giving a clear answer.
6. Change the subject often.
Liars are often unable to concentrate on the same topic for long periods of time because of their weak minds, and they will change the subject frequently or abruptly. This may be to cover up the truth or avoid being questioned.
7. Overemphasizing certain details.
Some people lie by overemphasizing certain details as if they want to prove the truth of their words in this way. However, this excessive description often appears stiff and far-fetched, lacking real emotion and detail. This is because liars are often unable to truly imagine specific scenarios and plots, and can only mechanically repeat pre-prepared lies.
8. Inconsistencies in behavior.
Liars often exhibit inconsistencies in their behavior. For example, they previously claimed that they had never done something, but later could not explain why the evidence was present. This is because liars are often unable to justify themselves and are prone to loopholes and contradictions in details.
To sum up, people who lie to you often can't hide the above eight clues. These signs, while subtle, are a manifestation of the inner turmoil and fear of the liar. Understanding the psychological reasons behind these signs can help us better identify lies and protect our interests and safety. At the same time, we should always remind ourselves not to be one of the liars, and that honesty and integrity are one of the most important principles in interpersonal communication.
