Lie Detectors

by HarryT

Being lied to is an unpleasant occurrence
Check the following signals for assurance:

Avoiding eye contact by a head-turning speaker
Stuttering, pausing, throat clearing a clue-leaker
Shifting voice tone and volume, a shady nuance
Multiple excuses instead of just one response
A defensive stance, arms crossed over the chest
Be careful and question a talker’s shrill behest
Lying to a loved one may cause a relationship wreck
Indicators of untruth may be a reddening face or neck

The truth is lying is a probable way to lose a friend
Bringing a long-held friendship to an unfortunate end
