Lying allows a person to gain perceived control over a situation by manipulating it.
This is a defense mechanism that a liar thinks allows him to avoid opening up and revealing his true self to another person for various reasons.
Where does a person look when he or she lies and when they remember
If a person is lying, as a rule, he avoids making eye contact so as not to give himself away.
However, some liars, on the contrary, try to make eye contact with their interlocutor as often as possible.
A direct “eye to eye” look always gives credibility to the story, which is successfully used by many sophisticated and experienced deceivers.
If a right-handed person looks up and to the right while answering, his brain uses his imagination, which means he comes up with an answer.
When a person lies about what he heard, he looks clearly to the right.
If you ask a right-handed person what he heard, he will look in the direction of his left ear, trying to remember the auditory information.
What does it mean if a person looks away when talking
The person will look away to be “in his head.”
There is accurate data: in order for interlocutors to experience psychological comfort from communication, the “eye to eye” look should last 2/3 of the entire conversation time, and a single meeting of the pupils should last about 20 seconds.
Next you need a break.
How to understand that a person is lying by intonation
Simply put, understand what is normal for him: he tends to slowly draw out his words or he jabbers, he has expressive intonations or a monotonous “mumbling”.
You need to pay attention to pronunciation features, special terms, filler words and the frequency of their use.
