[00:00:02]That's the mistake most people make. The real signs are quieter >> [music] >> and number four is the one most people miss. Number one, their timing changes.

[00:00:12]Lying takes more [music] mental effort, so they may pause too long or answer too fast because the lie was already prepared. Don't watch the pause.

[00:00:21]Watch the change from their normal behavior.

[00:00:24]Number two, they over explain.

"Where were you last night?" "Where was I [music] last night?" Sometimes it's just a habit, but sometimes it's their brain buying [music] time. Number four, the story is too perfect.
