Former CIA Officer Will Teach You How to Spot a Lie l Digiday

"Have you ever asked someone a question and they've talked for 10 minutes and then you realized they've never answered the question you asked?" Yeah, they're called politicians.

The biggest lie I tell myself is "you don't need to write that down you'll remember it".

I've been called a liar by a government investigator, and I knew perfectly well I wasn't lying. The air of confidence that people like this speaker present is how they convince decision-makers that they know what they're doing. But they can be wrong too, and their mistakes cost careers.

I hate liars and find it extremely difficult to lie. In my life I found that people do not believe you're honest because they themselves are dishonest.

Here’s one of the best pieces of general advice I’ve ever been told; if someone is asking you a specific and/or detailed question, it’s because they already know the answer, and that they are testing you and your honesty.

Any former CIA officer should be able to spot a liar. They are surrounded by each other all day.

I worked for a particular retail company for a long time, and I sat in on many interviews with the guy who was in charge of loss prevention for almost 200 stores. He was very good at getting people to admit that they stole cash and merchandise. Then we found out HE was stealing!

Matthew 5:37 - All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. - best advice ever

She is describing 98% of politicians perfectly when she is explaining how liars behave.

23:51 When you ask someone a question and they talk for 10 minutes, & then you realize they never answered the question...this means they passed the First Practical Test for becoming a POLITICIAN!!

She is describing the system that lies to us

A politician is only lying when their mouth is moving.

Easy lesson, If a politician, salesman, or lawyer are talking, its a lie,

I have awful social anxiety and ADHD. I'm an AWFUL liar, so I don't tell lies that'd get me in trouble. But I swear I probably exhibit all of the red flags in just a normal conversation. There's no way this can be used universally.

Mr. Navarro, who has conducted many, many hundreds of interrogations, says there really is no way to tell for sure if a person is lying. i believe him! 🌷🌱

I worked as a correctional officer. For 30 years I worked amongst the world's best liars. I took a course in body language in college before my career. Alot of telltale signs of liars. But some prisoners are so good... those signs were not present due to lying being second nature to them. One thing liars can't control, is remembering their lies. Too many of them to keep tab of. THAT'S when you catch them. But they always have an explanation for the contradiction. VERY good con artists. It takes good instincts to uncover them.

How can I lie ten times a day if I don't talk to anyone for weeks lol.

Truth is ..we all lie Some more than others Yet lies are saving circumstances . Truth sets one free but chains the others .. Balancing is the very key here

When I was little (and to this day) I get angry if I am being accused of something I didn’t do. And I get sheepish and blush if I am guilty. I am unable to hide a lie, my face gives me away immediately. My mom was able to determine this right out of the gate because of course she knows me best, but teachers would always tell my mom and I that my anger was proof of my guilt, because that is classic textbook behaviour. It is definitely important to form a baseline for each individual before forming opinions.
