YOGYAKARTA Lies can never really be covered up. There are always signs of people lying that others can know. Someone who lies will show certain behaviors that come from their psychology.

A person who lies always shows certain movements that can be seen even though a certain person who behaves can be called absolutely lying.

Reporting from forensics, there are several signs that someone is lying or is covering up something according to science, which is as follows.

The behavior that makes a person not say the truth is a changing pattern of speech. This pattern refers to the order of a person when speaking.

FBI criminal profiler Gregg McCrary explains that a person's voice or style of speech can change when someone talks.

A movement that is irrelevant to the information said can also indicate that the person is lying. For example, someone will shake the head even though the answer is yes.

Clinical psychologists at the Center for Anxiety and Disturbance related to Boston University explained that body movements that do not match spoken statements are able to show the truth.

Someone who lied will also not tell details of something. For example, he told a theft incident. When he was a witness, he did not reveal many details. He only shared general information.

Unlike honest people, they will definitely tell details that can provide more interesting information, people who lie will be more silent.

Researchers from Harvard Business School also revealed that a fraudster would overestimate the truth with too many words. This condition is more inclined to storytelling but excessively.

Liars also often use dirty words or third people's pronouns like him, them, or mention names. This is done so that suspicion does not twist into the first person's pronoun, namely me.

The vocal tone that goes up and down could be an indication that someone is lying. This change can be discovered after the person suspected of lying has finished explaining or telling something.

Mata can always show a person's heart. Another sign of lying is that there is no eye contact or throws away too often. In addition, there is a study that says that someone who lies will blink more even though he maintains eye contact with his interlocutor.

Someone who lies will try to cover up their facial expressions with pseudo movements such as closing their eyes or mouth for no apparent reason.

Lies are always accompanied by excessive anxiety. This anxiety is usually raised by someone unconsciously which has an impact on certain behaviors.

The attitude of pointing or approaching someone else can be an indication that the person is lying. This behavior is done to shift focus and try to find scapegoats.

People who claim to be good at lying are actually not trustworthy. So, when someone calls himself a reliable liar, it should be a signal for others to be more careful.
