BODY LANGUAGE AS THE COMPETITION ADVANTAGE

“You never get a second chance to make the first impression”

Have you ever wished that you could tell when someone is lying to you?

Most people have lied one way or another in their life. In fact, lying has become part of human nature. Sometimes we have to tell lies in order to avoid hurting somebody else. As the saying goes, what the person doesn't know won't hurt him. However, if discovering the truth is what you're after, then these tips on how to detect a lie will help you find out if you're being duped or not.

AVOIDANCE OF EYE CONTACT:

When a person uses very little eye contact, they may also be lying and not

want to be detected; it also could be a result of coulter behavior.

• "The eyes are often called “the windows of the soul” as they can send many different non-verbal signals.

• Usually someone makes eye contact at least half the time they are talking to you. If you notice

them avoiding eye contact or looking down during a specific part of a conversation, they may well be lying

COVERING MOUTH

"I'm not so sure of what I am saying.”

This gesture may occur in situations in which the person is lying, hiding certain information, overreacting or is not convinced of what he/she is saying.

Turning the body away, covering the face or mouth, a lot of fidgeting of hands or legs can

indicate deception.

When a listener uses this gesture, it may signify distrust, uncertainty or doubt about things that

were said.

When it is accompanied by widening of the eyes, it signifies surprise at what is being heard.

LOCKED ANKLES

Hands, legs, objects put in front of body to form a

barrier (folding arms, crossing legs, etc.).

As a rule it is difficult for most people to control their legs since

they are far from the head. This is even difficult for those people

who are extremely aware of body language.

LYING FACE-TO-FACE

According to Cornell University communications researchers, people are most likely to lie on the

telephon In fact, the researchers say, phone fibbing is even more likely than when people use e-mail, instant messaging or even speak face-to-face "Some psychologists did not expect this.
