Gesture #3: Create a Barrier
A person who is
dishonest may even use
objects such as a bag or
a cup to create a barrier
between the two of
you.


Gesture #4: Denying Eye Contact
Denying eye contact is often a sign
of discomfort.

Usually people make eye contact for
about half of the conversation, so
if you notice their eyes constantly
wavering, especially during a
touchy subject, you may be dealing
with a liar.


Gesture #5: Covering Mouth
Covering mouth is usually a
sign of discomfort and can be
related to stress.

When you see someone
suddenly cover his or her
mouth or rubbing the chin,
it’s probably a sign he or
sheis uncomfortable.


Gesture #5: Rubbing lower eyelid
Rubbing lower eyelid is like
saying: “I'm not so sure about
what has been said.”

The deeper the finger rubs,
the greater the discomfort
and disbelief with what is
being said or heard.


Gesture #5: Touching the Nose
• Research shows that, when a
person is dishonest, they tend
to touch their nose often.

• The theory behind touching the
nose gesture is to mimic the
person covering their mouth as
if they are telling lies.


Remember, it’s never one gesture that detects a lie,
some of these gestures however can have multiple
meanings such as doubt, uncertainty and
exaggeration so make sure you detect multiple body
language gestures.
