How to spot a liar?    

In this Ted Talk, let me ask you a question. Have you ever tried to spot a liar? Like whenever your best friend lies to you, or when your parents go out and say they’re coming at 8, but really come at 12 at night? You see, don’t you get frustrated whenever you get lied to? Well in the next few paragraphs I will give you some tips on how to catch a liar.

You know you get lied to about 10-200 times a day. Whenever you believe a lie you either make it worse or even better. Pamela Meyer discussed about ways of how to catch a liar and ways people lie that was really interesting because things that were in the Ted Talk about lying, was stuff that I never knew. Did you know that women lie to protect other people. Something that shocked me was that extroverts lie more than introverts, extroverts are people who are social and people who express themselves. Introverts are people who are the opposite, people who are quiet and are not social. 

We are against lying, and sometimes shockingly for it.  If someone has a sneaky smile they are for sure 100% lying. It is really obvious to catch someone lie just make sure to watch them when they are lying. For example, if someone doesn’t show emotion when they are talking then for sure they are lying, Also, honest people do show emotion when they are talking and always happy and willing to have the audacity to tell every truth. Anyways I hope you have tips now of how to catch a liar and so I hope you enjoyed my Ted Talk.

  1. I guess now I know how to spot a lier. Now I know what to do when I talk to teacher!!! Im just joking, this article really interested me. Now that i think about it many people have lied to me is that good or bad….. Like it says though everyone is lied to everyday at least 10 to 200 times so I think I’m good. I wouldn’t lie unless it was a life or death situation.
