? 1. Covering the mouth
Remember the three monkeys? I don't see anything, I don't hear anything, I don't say anything. One of the gestures of deception is covering your mouth.
? 2. Touching the nose
Remember the story about Pinocchio, where his nose began to grow rapidly when he lied? In fact, physically, this process really happens - in the body, special substances catelohamines are released, which lead to irritation of the nasal mucosa, pressure also increases, blood flow increases and the nose really increases slightly. But this is not noticeable, but it is noticeable how your interlocutor begins to reach for his nose and scratch it.
? 3. Rubbing eyes
When a child does not want to look at something, he closes his eyes with his palms. In an adult, this gesture is transformed into rubbing the eye. Thus, the brain tries to block something unpleasant for us (deception, doubt, or an unpleasant sight). In men, this is a more pronounced gesture - they rub their eyes, as if a speck had hit them. In women, this gesture is less noticeable and may well pass for correcting makeup, since ladies usually rub their lower eyelids gently with their fingers. But here, too, you should be careful - suddenly, indeed, a speck or an eyelash has hit!
? 4. Rubbing the earlobe
Let's go back to our monkeys! This is a "I hear nothing" gesture. It is usually accompanied by a sideways glance. Variants of this gesture: rubbing the earlobe, scratching the neck behind the ear, picking (excuse me) in the ear, or twisting it into a tube.
? 5. Scratching the neck
Typically, people do this with the index finger of the hand with which they write. On average, a person scratches their neck 5 times a day. This gesture means doubt. That is, if a person says to you something like “Yes, yes! I completely agree with you ”and at the same time reaches out to scratch his neck, which means that in fact he does not agree and doubts.
? 6. Pulling on the collar
A familiar gesture, right? As if it becomes stuffy and it is hard for a person to breathe. Cheating leads to increased blood pressure and increased sweating, especially if the cheater is afraid of being caught in a lie.
? 7. Fingers in the mouth
The most striking character with a finger in his mouth is Doctor Evil from the film about Austin Powers. He almost always keeps his little finger near his mouth. This is a person's unconscious attempt to return to the state of security commonly associated with infancy and sucking on the same nipple. An adult sucks on a cigar, pipe, temples, pen, or chews gum. Most of the touching of the mouth is associated with deception, but it also suggests that the person needs approval. Maybe he’s lying because he’s afraid you’ll not like the truth.
