Very few
people are skilled at covering lies, either they have an extensive knowledge
about human behavior or they are psycho killers. This post is written keeping
in mind, that neither of you fall in one of those categories.
"I have read the terms & conditions & I agree to them."
Everyone lies. You do, your friends do, your parents do, if there was a God, I'm sure he'd tick the terms and conditions box without actually reading them. Of course, there's a certain psychology involved behind that.
There are lies that 93% of the population says at some point or the other and make very similar gestures to give away the fact that they're lying.
One of the
most common lies being, "No mom, everyone got horrible marks on the
test." When in reality, you know that you're the only whose flunk the
test in the whole class, your mom knows that too. In fact she said a similar lie
to her mom at some point yet nothing happens to you and you get away with it.
But this is a lie which we are actually nervous of while telling it. So the sentence is usually accompanied by your hand being raised to a part of your face. Either to scratch your nose rubs your ear, touch a part of the forehead or something along those lines. Why do we this movement? Simply because when we lie, there's this awkward silence when no one is saying a word. We feel that silence because we are the ones who are lying and are nervous, however, the person we are lying to will NOT feel that silence most of the times, unless we shows signs of nervousness by doing one of the actions mentioned above.
If
however a lie is of bigger proportions, like telling your boyfriend or
girlfriend that you haven't cheated on them when in reality you have, the
rubbing of the nose, ear or forehead will also be accompanied by swallowing of
your own spit. So if you want to catch someone while doing this, look at their
throat and see if it moves
.
There will be times when you're telling a serious lie, could be anything and to anyone, to a friend or family, you'll notice your breathing rate increases and when that happens obviously your chest begins to heave. If you think someone's lying to you, this could be another way to figure out. Just stare at their chests, and risk being considered as a creep.

These are
some of the basic behavioral changes that occur when someone is lying, and by
reading this post, you can sort of begin to make sense of how easy, we as human
beings can be to read. So what should you do to control it? Simple, NEVER bring
your hand to your face while lying, try to breath as less as possible, try to
be drinking water or something else which is non alcoholic while telling the
lie so that the swallowing motion is covered.
Also, just so you know, the people who lie the best are the ones who continue talking non stop. And can tell a tail as it happened and can also recollect the events that supposedly occurred in reverse order. Every liar practices a story; no one practices it in reverse.
And yes, I HAVE read the terms & conditions once in my life, just so you know, they're utterly pointless.
