10 indícios de que ele está a mentir-te na cara
A mentira é dolorosa. There is no doubt about it, even if it’s a little white lie.
Eventually, it’s bound to break someone’s heart, especially if someone is lying straight to your face. And if it happens to be that that someone is your significant other, it hurts even more.
It’s like he is punching you in the gut and throwing away the trust you worked so hard to build. Because trust and love both take time.
Requerem devoção, carinho e empenhamento. Deitar tudo a perder por causa da coisa mais banal é realmente, honestamente, não vale a pena. Por isso, para saber quando ele lhe está a mentir, procure estes sinais.
1. Evita o contacto visual
If he’s avoiding eye contact while talking to you or instantly looks away when you ask him a question, that could be a sign that he is about to tell a lie.
There is a good reason our parents used to ask us to look them in the eye when we were answering questions. An honest person doesn’t have any problem keeping eye contact while telling a story, because they’re doing nothing wrong.
But liars try to hide the fact that they’re lying, so they will avoid eye contact in order to avoid the feelings of blame and guilt.
2. Os pormenores são praticamente inexistentes ou exagerados
He will either avoid giving out any details of the story, so it’s easier for him to remember it and think of it while he’s talking or he will go over the top.
You will soon find yourself hearing about the crazy colors of three strands of hair that showed up on a nun’s forehead while she was crossing the street. It’s a true story bro, he saw it with his own eyes. Sure.
Don’t buy his stories just because of his looks. If he’s lying no início, imaginem o que ele poderia estar a mentir mais tarde.
3. Alterações no seu padrão de discurso
Regarding his usual speech pattern, if he is talking too fast or too slow, that’s also a sign he might be lying.
If he’s going too fast, he’s just trying to get it over with. But if he’s taking his time while talking, he could still be working on the story in his head.
Preste atenção ao seu comportamento habitual e padrão de discurso. Se algo parecer estranho, é porque normalmente é.
4. Ele parece nervoso
One of the greatest signs of lying is nervousness. It’s simple; he’s so nervous about getting caught, about knowing that he’s doing the wrong thing, that his heart is racing and he starts sweating.
You will notice the difference in his breathing too, as if his breath is running short, he could be hiding something. Unless you’re discussing kinky topics, blushing is also a sign of lying.
5. A história tem a incrível capacidade de mudar de cada vez que a ouvimos
Every time he tells a story, there are new details and events that lead to the ultimate end of the story. And even when you notice that the story is changing, he will make an excuse like he forgot one part, you weren’t paying attention, he already said it, he had no time to tell you everything, etc.
Don’t think he will admit that the story is changing, instead, it’s your fault that you’re not listening carefully enough.
6. Hesita em dar informações
When we are honest and someone asks us about details, we don’t stop and think about them for a while; we start talking and even if there are some things we don’t know, we still make sure the story is complete once we’re done talking.
Mas os mentirosos nunca serão capazes de mudar de assunto e responder de imediato, porque os mentirosos são conhecidos por serem egoístas e fechados.
7. Linguagem corporal
A sudden head movement when you ask him a question, crossed arms, twitching or sitting completely still—it all depends on his usual behavior. Any changes that will tip you off that he’s nervous more than usual can tell you that he’s lying.
While sometimes nervousness can be a sign of attraction, together with other signals on this list it’s a straight giveaway of someone lying to your face.

8. Ele repete-se
It’s not just because he wants to convince you, it’s because he wants to convince himself of the lie too. He will often repeat phrases and parts of the story, so you can remember it pretty well.
It’s also a technique a liar tends to use to gather his thoughts. He will stutter and repeat certain words a few times until his brain catches up.
9. Tocar e cobrir a boca e os locais vulneráveis
Ele toca e tapa a boca para evitar responder a uma pergunta ou a uma proposta. Além disso, quando os homens estão a contar mentiras, tendem a cobrir os locais mais vulneráveis, como a garganta, o peito, o abdómen ou a cabeça.
That’s something he does instinctively because he will always take care of himself first. Lying goes hand in hand with being selfish, because he will always colocar-se em primeiro lugar.
10. It seriously doesn’t make any sense
Even if he has no other signs, the story still makes no sense. Something seriously seems off, even if you have nothing to point to. But if he’s usually shy and in his stories, he is this badass fuckboy who can have any woman out there, he’s lying.
Or he’s known as a fuckboy and suddenly he’s talking about this shy, gorgeous girlfriend you all need to meet – but you never do – then do you need any other sign?
