You may think a smile can easily disguise your true feelings but the expressions that flash across a liar's face will give away what she's really thinking. Even if he or she is lying to your face, there are some tips on how to detect the lies.

A few of the potential red flags the researchers identified that might indicate that people are deceptive include:

Being vague; offering few details
Repeating questions before answering them
Speaking in sentence fragments
Failing to provide specific details when a story is challenged
Grooming behaviors such as playing with hair or pressing fingers to lips.

1. Note if someone maintains unbroken eye contact.

When two people speak to one another, it’s normal to hold eye contact for 5–10 seconds and then to look away for several seconds before resuming eye contact. If someone holds your gaze without looking away—and especially if they hold it without blinking—you may have reason to suspect that they’re lying

1. Observe if someone blinks more or less than usual.

For this step, you’ll need to have an idea of how much someone blinks during a conversation in which they’re telling the truth. If you’re speaking to them about an issue that you suspect they’re lying about, watch their blinking. In most cases, a liar with either blink much more or much less than normal.

1. Observe if someone holds their body with unusual rigidity.

Usually during an informal conversation, a person’s body is relaxed. People cross their arms, shift poses, and perform hand gestures. However, if the person you’re speaking to seems stiff and keeps their body in 1 position, it’s possible that they’re lying to you

1. Look to see if they move their head into a variety of positions.

The basic rule of thumb is that people are uncomfortable when they lie, and that this discomfort may translate into some odd body language. Watch the person’s head and see if it remains in 1 position for at least 10 seconds at a time. If it doesn’t, and if the person moves their head between several different positions, they may be lying

1. Watch the speaker’s feet to see if they shuffle or shift them.

This is a great sign of dishonesty. If a person is lying to you, they’re less likely to stand with their feet firmly planted. That’s not to say that an honest person never moves their feet while speaking. But if you notice that somebody seems to be shifting the position of their feet every few seconds, you’ll have reason to suspect that they’re lying.

1. Note whether someone becomes aggressive and starts to point.

If a liar feels as though their dishonesty is being found out when you question their s tory, they may double down on their defenses. To do this, the person may make aggressive hand gestures and point their finger at you accusatively. So, if you question the truth of someone’s story and they loudly defend their innocence while pointing a finger in your face, they’re likely lying.

1. Pay attention to whether or not the liar includes themselves in a narrative.

When an individual is telling a lie, they often remove themselves from the narrative in order to make it sound as if they weren’t involved with the incident they’re lying about.

For example, say you’re talking to a student who cheated on an exam. Instead of saying, “I was worried that I’d lose my scholarship if I failed the test,” they may say, “My parents said I had to pass the test, and my friend Mike told me my scholarship could be at risk if I didn’t.”
