1- Inconsistency.

Inconsistency is when, a person can't keep their story straight. You can ask the person to repeat their story again and again, until they notice that some details are inconsistent.

2- Ask them to tell their story backwards.

When someone is lying, they will have quite some trouble telling their story backwards. Because they make up stuff while telling it and they'll probably forget some stuff while telling it backwards.

3- Not remaining eye contact.

When someone's lying, they'll be nervous. So they'll make less eye contact and maybe look away a few times and asking "what?"

4- What they say and how they sound when you look at them.

After the person tells their story, look at them. Do they look back? If so, what do they do? Sometimes when they are lying, they'll look at you from the side nervously and smile while asking "what? It's not
me I swear!!" Yeah, nice try. But on the other hand, half of the people will instead become defensive and keep telling their story until people start to believe them.

5- Who they tell.

When you confront them, what do they do? Do they try to convince everyone else including YOU that they're not lying, or do they look at you and realise you're the one who's lying and then tell everyone.

6- Ask them unexpected questions.

You could ask simple questions like: "What shirt were you wearing?" If they look surprised and start gulping, start saying, "What kinda question is that?I don't need to answer that." and trying to think something, they're probably lying.

7- Shrinking body language.

If someone's lying, they'll get a bit uncomfortable and start hunching, fidgeting, and other stuff.

I'll create the next chapter later
