How to Actually Catch a Liar: A New Look at Lie Detection

🕵️‍♂️ Listen for Juicy Details (Or a Lack of Them)

Truth Tellers vs. Liars 🗣️
Honest stories are packed with specific details, even random or surprising ones. Meanwhile, lies sound clean, neat, and a little too practiced. Why? Because it’s hard to fake real-life messiness on the spot. 🎭

How to Spot a Lie

1. Ask for Details – Encourage them to share more. Liars don’t love getting into specifics. 👂
2. Notice Gaps or Missing Parts – A lie often leaves out exact times, places, or names, while truthful stories include more specifics. 🕒📍
