A noticeable change in regular behaviorAlthough wed like to think our loved ones couldnt fool us, thats not always the case. On the flip side, though, if you do know someone well, theres a better chance youll be able to detect if he or she is lying.Ask Mensays, "If shes usually animated and a fast talker, but today shes sitting with her arms crossed and speaking slowly, maybe theres something you dont know. If she rarely looks people in the eye and now shes practically drilling your pupils with her stare, you may want to get the truth out of her." When a person is lying, their behavior can be irregular, as they might be nervous, feeling guilty, or crafting the lie as they go. If your sweetie is acting off, something might be up.2. Your partner has something to gain by acting against your interestIn a Psychology Today article, Marty Nemko, Ph.D., discusses how you can tell who you can and cannot trust."More important, Id want to see if a person acts justly even when its inexpedient," Nemko says. "This is especially key if the person has much to gain by acting against your interest and youre unlikely to detect it."In his example, Nemko recalls an experience he had in his own life in which his dentist recommended getting a crown. Suspicious, Nemko sought a second opinion. This dentist advised him that his tooth was fine and he hasnt had any issues with his teeth. The point is the first dentist was being untruthful in order to benefit his business.Similarly, if your partner tries to convince you of something that doesnt have your best interest in mind, yet presents a significant gain for him or her, you should be wary.3. Verbal dodgingIn her TED Talk, How to Spot a Liar, Pamela Meyer, author of "Liespotting," delivers insightful tips on how to recognizedeception. She explains verbal dodging is when a person uses formal language, rather than contractions, as well as distancing terms and phrases. Meyer uses Bill Clinton as an example, pointing out his choice of language as he denies his affair with infamous White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. In his claim, Clinton said, "I did not have sexual relations with that womanMiss Lewinsky." The takeaway here, Meyer says, is Clintons use of "did not," rather than a less formal contraction, and "that woman," rather than a reference that seems more familiar. If youre trying to detect whether or not your partner isnt being truthful, pay special attention tohis or her language.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
