An Introduction to Reading Liars

In order to appreciate mind reading (and telling if someone is lying) we need a clear cut definition of what it means. I am not going to give a thorough run down of existential philosophy here but the old notion of mind reading, where you tap into someone elses subconscious and ”hear” their thoughts will have to go. That is their experience and for them to have. So don’t expect anybody to be able to know what you really think when you say one thing but mean another. Also, it is not taking your own values and putting them inside someone else like thinking that you know how they will act when you do something and therefore you don’t do it.

What we have to do instead is to acknowledge one of the biggest scientific realizations over the last few hundred years. The body-mind. Scientists have now proven how our body and our mind are connected. What our body is put through, our mind subjectively experiences. What our mind subjectively experiences, our body shows. A thought is always represented by the firing of neurons in your brain. It always has a physical representation. That is a powerful statement and has far-reaching consequences. Our Nervous System is spread out over our whole body and is connected to our brain. Our brain and the NS are both made up of neurons. As a neuron fires, it sends out chemicals that reach other neurons that might or might not fire their electric impulses. This has the representation as a dry mouth when we are nervous or afraid. Feeling all tingly as we see a certain person. These are all thoughts, that have an effect on our body. The reverse is also true, we have mental experiences when our NS interacts with the world, getting input from our surrounding.

In conclusion, what you see and hear on the outside, also takes place on the inside. You just have to know what to look for. When you can internalize these concepts and understand their implications and effects fully, then you have come a long way.

In the beginning things may seem like a clutter and you can’t make any sense of things. You read one thing and another happens in reality. My advice is, learn the basics. People have a real need to show off and want to learn all the advanced techniques. They love to treat their ego with thoughts of them becoming this lurking shadowman who can get anything he wants by shear manipulation. Master the basics! I have a friend who plays in the NFL, he told me that they practice on fundamentals all the time... fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals. Master the basics before you move on! First you need to learn the rules. See when they apply. How they apply. When you can use them to your advantage and when not to. Break them on purpose a few times. An interesting thing happens once you have mastered the basics. You begin to see how you can bend the rules to your advantage. That’s when things start to get real interesting. But do not hasten!

There are different attitudes and approaches you can have to this. In general, try not to analyze people too much. That would leave you highly frustrated as you can find whatever you want in anyone if you look hard enough. Faults included. Just learn these things, memorize them, so when someone does something that catches your attention, recognize the action and make a mental note of it. There is no need for overreacting here as you don’t always know what a single signal means. It could just be a habit. But, once you find that you need to confront someone, to question their honesty, I really recommend a thorough analysis first. More on this later.

Reading your victim.

This is only a brief summary. There are enough books written on this subject alone that you could fill a whole library. My intentions are not to fill this report with fluff but to get straight to the point.

When we suspect that someone is lying, we usually put more emphasis on what is being said rather than the other way around. If we really want to know what a person is telling us, we must put less effort on hearing what the actual words are, and more onto what the whole body is telling us in combination with the words.

In general what we are looking for here are contradicting signals. We want to find clusters of actions that contradict what is being said. At first this might sound like an obvious thing. But when you have the capability to analyze this in detail you will have gained a tremendous advantage. Not all things are obvious to the untrained mind.

We have unconscious signals that we send out only under very specific situations. One is when we are attracted to a person. The other is when we lie.

Here are some general guidelines to be aware of: We are best at lying with our words. Somewhat good at lying with our faces, but horrible at lying with our bodies. Look for twitches that occur when a certain topic is brought up again and again. That means that there is something going on.

You have to take into account the present situation. Is it an emotional situation? Is the person aware of your intentions of figuring out whether or not he/she is lying? Are they under a lot of stress? Perhaps economical stress? Can others hear what you are saying? Then we have instant environmental factors like, is it cold or warm. Noisy or calm. Then you must start to take into account long term factors like, where are they in life? What are their long term goals? What values do they have? What are their goals? What have they shown you in previous occasions? Then we have more complex factors like homrones.

As you can see, there is an endless supply of information that can affect or change the behaviour of the person you want to inquire. And we haven’t even touched upon personality types or any psychology yet. The better you are the more factors you can account for. The biggest mistake you can do is to jump to conclusions, basing your judgement on incomplete information. Be aware of these factors and try to set the situation to your favor. If you can, isolate them so that it is only you two in the room. Give them a sense of comfort, no one is natural when feeling that they under the suspicion of being a liar. Listen first, then talk.

The big question is of course, can you really see if a person is telling a lie or not? Well, sort of. We can detect signals that are sent during specific types of lies, those that are done under emotional stress. So what we see is that a person is under emotional stress or is nervous, rather than actually lying. But sometimes, those signals are all that we need in order to be able to come to a conclusion. There are also signals that arise only when lies are told.

But be aware of this, just as you can get used to skydiving, bungy-jumping, or even listening to country music, you can get used to lying. Once this takes place, the emotional signals will be far more difficult to notice.

Do note that there are many different kinds of people. Some are absolutely incapable of lying, and others make a living off of it (read poker players). No matter which one you encounter, they are always showing it, you just have to train yourself to find what makes them tick and to be able to register even the most subtle signals.
