When I read your question I wanted to say I never really know if someone is lying- I sometimes look out for body language ect...
But it depends what they're are lying about???------------------

If you know them really well, you can tell their little "lie" habits. Sometimes their voice will change, or they'll look away as they "explain."Personally, I can't lie at all. At least without everyone knowing. Sometimes, if I'm really confident or feel my reasons for lying are valid, i can pull it off. But, not if I care. Same thing for omitting info, too, because it feels like lying. IP: Logged |

If its something important, you will surely find out with time like Dean said..just watch for the little clues. Usually they'll slip up at some point and say something that contradicts what they claim is the truth. Also when my boyfriend lied to me, he would always get overly defensive when i asked him about it.IP: Logged |

There are physical signs to look for. One of them is if the person looks left as they are speaking about something. Someone lying will look to the left. If they blink alot that is another one. Usually I can sense when someone is lying right away. I think intuition is your best bet in detecting a lie. But then there are people who actually believe their own lies. So are they still lying? To who? Themselves or you? Everyone sees things through their own eyes. What may seem to be completely false to you will be another persons truth. Honestly, I think for you to have asked this here, you are probably pretty sure the person is lying. Listen to your intuition. If you are questioning things about someone, such as if they are lying, or if you just get an uneasy feeling about something they said, go with it. That is your built in lie detector or warning system in action. You are being warned about someone and you should listen to it. The more you listen, the stronger it gets. It doesnt have to mean that the person is necessarily bad but that you should probably be avoiding them. Your intuition is a powerful thing, learn to develop it and listen to it always. And I agree with what Dean and Malkhouf said.  Time will tell. And really, what is truth? We all have our own. Who's right, who's wrong? Neither and both. IP: Logged |

OMG Zoso ... you said
"Same thing for omitting info, too, because it feels like lying."This is how i am ... or i feel like I am lying. I feel guilty. But it has come back and bit me in the azz a few times as well. Some people have said that "if the person gives to many details or too much info" so given that, people could think your lying because you didnt leave out the not so important details that you didnt want to omit because people would think your lying!... Another way ... supposedly (notice the times i've used it it was correct) is too watch the eyes ... if they look (even glance) to the left after saying whatever it is they are saying, they are lying. If they look to the right, they are in all probabilities telling the truth. Has to do with the right brain left brain deal. ------------------

Base some of the truth on what you already know about that person. How they communicate? Are they the type to elaborate anyways? If this isn't someone you know well, then, like it has already been suggested, time will tell. You know instinctively (gut feel, my stomach churns) if it's the truth or not. IP: Logged |

This is where I get confused: If I'm facing the suspected liar, would they be looking to THEIR left (my right) or MY left (their right)I'm thinking the former.... IP: Logged |

What is the best way for you to tell if someone is lying? perception
even if you are presented with a lie, priority to relying on whether or not it is truth is not necessary and deceit will lay on the way you perceive it once you remember that you are in control of how you perceive it. the importance of a lie is not giving someone else the power to overpower how you perceive/react to it. i believe even in a lie - you can find a truth.

This one is easy.If someone is lying,you can tell by the how they repeat back to you the very question you ask them.Example: Honey,what took you so long at the store"?
Responce:"What took me so long"
Of course the reason for this is they are stalling for time.
I can always tell if someone is lying because I can feel it.The voice(mouth)can lie,eyes can't.IP: Logged |

Merriti... truth lies in what you said about the stalling bit. My ex did that a lot, and yup, he sure did know how to twist the truth. IP: Logged |
