How can I tell if someone is lying to me?
assistant
One way to tell if someone is lying to you is to look for signs of deception such as a lack of eye contact, fidgeting, or hedging (avoiding direct answers). Pay attention to inconsistencies in stories or details that don't quite add up. If someone is lying, they may suddenly be evasive or overly accommodating in an attempt to hide the truth. Ask follow-up questions to dig deeper and look for further clues. Ultimately, trust your gut – if you think someone isn't being truthful with you, it's probably a good idea to investigate further.
