7 señales sutiles de que te está mintiendo (y tú te lo crees)

It’s hard to spot a liar, especially because some people are too good at it. No matter what situation you put them in, they know how to tell you a believable story in a matter of seconds.

Ponen cara de póquer y mienten para librarse de cualquier cosa que les incomode. Si tu novio te hace estas cosas, or you suspect that he’s lying, it makes you feel like crap.

Not only that you feel that way, but he causes you to have trust issues after you’ve hardly even begun to trust him in the first place.

You can’t have firm proof that someone is lying to you unless you catch them unprepared with their shield down and actually catch them in the act. However, there are physical body language signs that can help you cast aside your doubts.

No, he won’t grow a nose like Pinocchio, but he will present certain gestures and behaviors that will blow his cover.

1. His lips and mouth don’t match

It’s been scientifically proven that every mood has its own facial expression. For example, when you’re sad and crying and tears roll down your face, your mouth gets shortened to match with your eyes.

Or when you’re happy and you’re laughing, your mouth gets wider for a smile and your eyes perk up and glitter like they are smiling too. But when you’re dealing with a liar, his eyes and his mouth don’t get along.

That’s why lying does not have a natural response from your body to certain situations, as it’s a controlled reaction to the outside input. If you see this difference on his face while he’s talking to you, he is probably lying.

2. Está nervioso

He starts fidgeting or tapping nervously with his fingers or his legs because he’s trying to hide something. He wants to appear calm and relaxed, but he is showing completely the opposite behavior.

He’s probably trying to hide something from you and his lying presents itself in the way he behaves. His body actions give him away.

3. Juega con la oreja

Cuando la gente miente, su cuerpo hace cosas de las que ni siquiera son conscientes. Su cuerpo rechaza esas palabras que salen de su boca porque no son naturales, son mentiras.

Dicho esto, su cuerpo está literalmente luchando contra su mentira, quiere impedir que escuchen la mentira que acaban de decir.

That’s why with men, your guy starts pressing and playing with his ears, pulling them and scratching the insides. It’s a common telltale sign that someone’s lying to you.

Now, if he’s on the border of being a sociópata, he will be aware of these telltale signs and he will control them, but if he is just a regular liar, these things he does subconsciously will show he’s lying.

4. Evita mirarte

He avoids looking you directly in your eyes because he is scared his eyes might give away the fact that he’s lying. He’s scared that you might recognize the unease he feels deep inside from just one look into his eyes.

So, the next time you see he is avoiding eye contact, you can be sure he has done something wrong and doesn’t want to face you because he’s lying.

5. Cambia de voz

The tone of his voice becomes different and this is probably due to the fact that his heart races and his feelings become a bit more passionate inside. He is telling a lie and again his body is fighting it because it’s not its natural state.

His voice can become higher or lower, that depends, but make sure to pay attention to that the next time you ask him something you think he’s lying about.

Si su voz se vuelve diferente a la habitual, probablemente tengas un problema que debes resolver con él.

6. Su respiración cambia

La falta de respiración aparece cuando te enfrentas a situaciones desagradables que te ponen nervioso y ansioso.

When your guy seems to be gasping for air when talking to you, it probably means that his heart is racing and his pulse has gone up because he’s telling you a lie which has caused a shortage of breath.

Esté atento a este signo porque puede pasarlo por alto fácilmente y ser víctima de otra mentira más.

7. Esconde las manos

O para ser más precisos, esconde las palmas de las manos, o al menos lo intenta. Sabes que cuando un chico quiere compartir algo sincero contigo, te cogerá las manos y te mirará directamente a los ojos (uno de los más valiosos consejos de citas para mujeres). 

But when he’s lying to you, he will hide his hands behind his back or put them in his pockets.
