Can you detect when a person is lying?

Post Reply New Topic

Nowadays my paranoia works for me, I seek some proof, treat many things as jokes. I am usually good enough with words to cover up my lack of believing them

I have a tendency to be suckered--- unless it is REAL obvious.
However, sometimes someone will try and lie to me when I already know the actual truth--- this makes me angry, since I know they are lying then.

play dumb then bash them with a brick in thier sleep

I can tell if someone is lying or being fake that's one of my gifts I can tell if another aspie is trying to manipulate me.

I'm a person who always has doubts about people its tiring, I'm always suspicious and wary of everyone unless I get to know them, there are times I remember when I could know when the person is lying to me.

I can usually tell if a person is lying. But I often end up doubting myself and believing them anyway, especially if they are very persuasive.

I can tell when a person is lying to themselves.

However facetiousness often goes right past me. I tend to take it literally.

Since it's very difficult for me to tell, I just assume that pretty much everyone is lying (or at least embellishing the truth) until I find out otherwise. Saves a lot of hassle and disappointment that way.

In many circumstances, I'm quite the BS detector. Unfortunately, there's just so much of it to detect! Ugh.

I can't, and I can't detect sarcasm either.

I am terrible at telling lies myself and always look guilty when I try. I am even worse at telling when someone else is lying. When I am lied to it seems to create a "that does not compute" cognitive dissonance in me leaving me utterly confused.
