Once A Cheater, Always A Cheater? with Chris Fields

okay so You have body language experts, per se.

You'll see them on TV or the news.

And really, it's just for hype.

Because the truth is, you have to know the person before you can really distinguish whether...

What a body language expert will give you is a little bit better than flipping a coin and it being on heads or tails.

And that's just the honest truth because what they don't have and which is very significant to understand whether or not a person is being disingenuous is Do you know the person? Do you know how they typically act? You have to have a baseline.

And if you can't grade off whether they're lying or not off the baseline, you have nothing to go by.

You might just be speaking to someone that's constantly frantic or maybe someone that's autistic.

If you chose a random person to ask them questions and they happen to be highly autistic you're gonna think oh this person's fidgety they must be lying and all these all these they must be lying type of shoot from the hip quotes or statements they really don't count for anything so the body language expert if you see on the any type of news and they're looking at some high celebrity profile cases I can tell by the way they're doing this and that

it's

usually not true at all you took a lucky guess if you end up being right and So the truth is you got to know someone typically.

Now, I will give you this.

The two things that are pretty spot on.

Now, you can study microexpressions.

You can buy books on them all day long and tell you how the face moves, how the hand moves, and blah, blah, blah, what typically may lead back to lying.

But again, you need the baseline.

But I can tell you two things that I have picked up that – to my knowledge, have never been incorrect is when you ask someone an important question directly and they take the pause and then they say, what? Really, they're stalling.

And the stalling is typically an indicator that whatever they're going to say next is not true.

Okay.

And something that I never learned or read about, something I just picked up, I think I might have even written a blog about it a few years ago.

I can't recall.

But something that I've noticed, and it's been dead on every time, is when you ask somebody a question, you'll see, which would be a micro-expression, you'll see their jaw drop.

It'll unclench in their mouth.

So they'll have their mouth closed.

And it would barely drop where their teeth are not connected anymore.
