When you tell a little lie, what small gesture is the one that.. .....

Question

..."betrays" that you are not being sincere ??

When I tell a little lie, I usually avoid looking them in the eye!

Answer 1

Lies don't come in sizes nor do they come in colors!  I know when someone is lying to me just by watching their body language, especially their not being able to look me in the eye.  

Answer 2

I focused on getting rid of mine, so now no one knows when I lie.

Mine was running my fingers through my hair.

Answer 3

My inflection usually is the thing which betrays my lack of conviction. I can look someone in the eye if I have to, but as phoenix noted earlier my tone of voice doesn't convey that I really believe what I'm saying.

Answer 4

I teach "microexpressions" to my psych class.  If you search that term on youtube you will find some cool videos.

Answer 5

i m********e

Answer 6

I smile and laugh...and usually end up telling those closest to me as to let them see right through me.

Answer 7

........never in my life....

...i don't even know what lying is....

Answer 8

Haha, I like this question!! It's good. :) It's fun to answer...

Hmm...for me, when I tell a lie, either big or small, I'm moving, lol. I start occupying myself with things but sometimes it becomes obvious because if I have nothing to do, I start fidgeting, lol. :) But I try to stop myself =/

Answer 9

I sit on my hands

Answer 10

i usually give a smile, cuz i can't stop laughing, id it's mum, otherwise, i turn more serious...

Answer 11

when I tell a lie I usually have a frail voice... it's not the gestures which betray me, but my voice...  

Answer 12

I heard that when little kids lie, they usually scratch their legs. People usually avoid making eye contact, and there might be a slight change in the tone of voice. Facial expressions and body language, like shifting in seats, pulling at hair, jewelry, and clothing can also give it away.

Answer 13

As a lawyer I have had a very good trainning in telling lies without being "betrayed"....
