Can you tell if someone is lying to you? I have always been told you watch their body language and you can definitly tell if they are lying. EX: If they won't look at you or they figit with their hands or hair. But I still can't ever tell, can you? Or what are some other clues to look for?

I never can tell when I'm being lied to. It's frustrating. i'm oblivious to so many lies when people try to get things past me. Usually i'll realize it at some point but it's almost always too late. I think people talk differently when they lie though. Their voice goes up in pitch or they talk faster or they rearrange the wording to talk around the actual point.

I can tell sometimes but i usually just go your lying! and then they admit to it lol. I always get away with my lies though! Guess i am just a good liar or people are gullible around me? Who knows. I would like to say i know when people are lying to me but i probably don't oh well because sooner or later i usually catch people i know if their own lies.
