Discerning Deception
Discerning Deception
Intuition and scrutiny, everything you need
Just read the following, if your sure you want to see
They're saying yes, while their head shakes no
Their hands are often moving around their face and throats
If they shrug their shoulders only one goes up
The words they like to use are except and but
Their body language doesn't match the words
They often face sideways, not forwards
They give way too many unnecessary details
Their feet are moving, their fidgeting with their nails
Their breathing is rapid, hands behind their backs
Their mouth is dry, their voices crack
They never touch there palms to their chests
They avoid eye contact, may look up to the left
Their mouth does all the expressing
The rest of the face is stiff and repressive
They want to make their bodies small
Time between answers, lots of ums and ahs
There is redness in their cheeks
Leave out pronouns when they speak
It's a lot to observe and not all people are the same
It could be fun in a poker game !
