INTRODUCTION:
Most times, it is very painful when you think someone is lying to you, but you don’t have any means of proving that they’re being untruthful. Sometimes, you badly need to know if a person is lying or not, yet you have no technique to achieve that. Since everybody cannot be Pinocchio whose nose increases in length whenever he tells a lie, catching a liar is often difficult.
On the bright side, it is possible to indicate if a person is lying or not through their body language. Though it is not absolutely certain that the person is lying through examining their body language, it could be very likely that they are being untruthful.

This could be done by the following steps:
1. Take note of if the individual holds their body with odd rigidity.
For the most part during a casual discussion, an individual’s body is loose. Individuals fold their arms, shift postures, and perform hand motions. They may likewise make use of loads of hand language by showing hands and on the off chance that they do this, all things considered, they are not lying. Nonetheless, if the individual you’re communicating with appears to be rigid and keeps their body in one position, it’s conceivable that they’re lying to you.
Contrary to that, a few persons move uneasily or shift when they’re lying and feel nervous.
The various practices are both likely because of the individual’s “fight or flight” reaction provoking them to hold their ground (“fight”) or act apprehensive (“flight”).
2. Hope to check whether they move their head into different positions.
The fundamental dependable guideline is that individuals are uncomfortable when they lie, and that this inconvenience may convert into some odd body language. Watch the individual’s head and check whether it stays in 1 position for at least 10 seconds at a time. In the event that it doesn’t, and if the individual moves their head between a few distinct positions, they might be lying.
For instance, on the off chance that somebody is deceiving you, you may notice that they cock their head to one side for a few seconds, at that point slant it up to take a glance at the ceiling, then jerk their head to one side before inclining it down towards the ground.
3. Observe whether somebody covers their mouth while they’re adding to you.
In many discussions, individuals possibly cover their mouth when they cough or sneeze. In case you’re conversing with somebody and notice that they hold a hand over their mouth as they’re talking, there’s a decent possibility that what they’re saying is obviously false, particularly on the off chance that they repeat the act more than once. This act is a natural reaction to an individual’s hesitance to tell the truth. Consider it like this: they’re covering their mouth to stop communication and try not to tell the whole truth.
4. Watch the speaker’s feet to check whether they shuffle or shift them.
This is an extraordinary indication of untruthfulness. On the off chance that an individual is deceiving you, they’re more averse to remain with their feet solidly planted. This isn’t to imply that that an honest individual never moves their feet while talking. In any case, if you notice that someone is by all accounts moving the position of their feet like clockwork, you’ll have motivation to speculate that they’re lying.
In case you’re strolling with somebody who you suspect of being dishonest, pause and stand still while you’re talking. This will compel them to do likewise and permit you to watch their feet.
5. Observe if somebody gets aggressive and begins to point.
On the off chance that a liar feels like their untrustworthiness is being discovered when you question their story, they may double down on their protections. To do this, the individual may make forceful hand gestures and point their finger at you accusatively. In this way, if you question the reality of somebody’s story and they noisily defend their innocence while pointing a finger in your face, they’re probably lying.
On the off chance that the individual you’re dealing with gets nervous, begins to yell, or is by all accounts considering physical violence, it’s advisable to end the discussion.
6. Remember that everybody’s body language is unique and that circumstances can affect body language.
Culture, disability, and personal characteristics can influence an individuals’ body language. Become more acquainted with the individual’s standard prior to making hurried decisions about their genuineness. Likewise look out for circumstances that might be influencing them.
CONCLUSION:
At this point, you must be able to infer if that person you suspect of being dishonest is telling the truth or not by studying their body language. Now, go get ’em liars!
