If she makes a pause that means shes thinking of what to say next . She might sound a little suspicious when she's lying .

You might notice changes in your friend's body language when you are talking; there's no point specifically looking for clues, but you'll get a feeling something's not right.

You'll also notice inconsistencies in your friends comments and statements over time and if you reply, 'but I thought you said something different last time we talked about this?' you could find your friend becomes evasive or even offended that you are questioning what they say.

But truly, you can't be absolutely sure if your friend is lying. The fact that you are worried about this indicates you've already noticed signals which make you doubt your friend; you need to think about what these signals are and why your first reaction is to consider dishonesty.

Your instincts are frequently correct.

There are quite a few ways to tell if someone is lying to you.

  • They may fidget while telling this lie. Messing around with objects surrounding you is a quite common thing to do, if you're nervous.
  • If you ask them questions to do with what they're saying, and they cannot answer these, it often means they're lying. This is because they have to actual answer to give you.
  • You find out through someone else that they're lying. You may actually be talking to someone else about what you were told by this liar, and they do not agree, which also means you have a witness.
  • You may find evidence that they're lying- whether it be through documents, people or something else, you can usually find evidence to do with whether or not this person is lying or not.

He or she will touch their face a lot while talking to you, or cross their ankles or arms. Also, he or she will most likely not look you in the eye for the normal amount of time.

If you are good friends you can easily read your friend's face. So, if your friend isn't telling the truth you can easily know it by looking into his/ her face.
