10 Clear Signs Somebody Is Lying To You. A Simple Way To Spot a Liar.
image via – shutterstock.com
We all tell lies, it’s a part of our human nature. Sometimes they’re harmless, even well intentioned, and told to avoid hurting someone that we care about. Other times they’re not so minor. Instead of being trivial, they end up truly harming others and lead to nothing but trouble. We even lie to ourselves, we just can’t help it. As often as we hear them, one would assume that we’re quite adept at detecting a lie when we come across one.
While that may be the case for some people, for the majority of us it’s not. Thankfully there are signs to look for that can help us detect when someone is telling a lie. That way we can minimize any possible negative effects of the ones we happen to come across. Here are the top signs you need to know on how to spot a liar:
1. They hide or cover their mouth. A liar will often touch their face and mouth area when they’re being deceptive. It’s as if they are subconsciously attempting to cover up and shut down any further conversation about it.
2. They stare and maintain eye contact for an uncomfortable amount of time. This is classic behavior of a liar who is very likely consciously trying to deceive you. They believe that by staring and not blinking they are showing real honesty and are thus offsetting any suspicions others may have of whatever it is they’re lying about.
According to the accompanying video, honest people maintain eye contact for a little over half of the entire conversation. Someone who lies will gaze steadily at you for 70-100% of the time.
3. They blink rapidly. People who are uncomfortable tend to blink rapidly 5 or 6+ times in a row on average. This is a manifestation of the stress they’re likely feeling. It may also be an indication that they’re attempting to be more convincing, either way it’s a red flag you should pay close attention to.
4. They point. This can be both physical and verbal. They may be trying to deflect attention away from their lies by pointing your attention elsewhere. It’s also a way to shift the blame and defend themselves. Literally waving a finger around and becoming aggressive shows that they sense they’ve been caught in their lie and are attempting to distract you in a last ditch effort.
5. They give you too many details. Over sharing and offering up more information than is necessary is a sign that whoever is talking too much has a guilty conscience. They think that by being so forthright you’ll perceive them as open and honest, and will buy whatever line of bs they’re feeding you.
6. They fidget. While we all can be a bit restless at times, moving around more than average or nervously is a sign someone is lying. People will adjust their clothing, loosen a tie, play with a necklace, tuck hair behind an ear, wipe their glasses, twiddle their thumbs, clean up the immediate area surrounding them, straighten a pencil and pad, wipe the swear off their brow, and do just about anything else as they squirm their way uncomfortably through a lie.
7. They have trouble swallowing, clear their throat, and purse their lips. All of these indicate that the person is stressed and anxiety has set in. When that occurs our bodies slow salivary production which causes our throat and mouth to become dry and uncomfortable. Liars will appear to gulp before speaking, pinch their mouths closed, and purse their lips in vain attempts to get past this.
8. They display verbal and non-verbal disconnects. Our physical actions tend to naturally match the words that come out of our mouth. As such, when we agree with someone we nod in agreement, and when we disagree with someone we shake our heads from side to side as if to say “no.”
When there is a disconnect, a person will nod in denial while saying no, and/or shake their head from side to side in agreement while saying yes. These are unnatural movements that do not match up and are a strong indication that someone is lying.
9. Their voice changes. Depending on the liar, they may do a number of things with their tone of voice. They may speak rapidly or slow down, talk quietly or become much louder than usual, and maybe even stutter over details that they should be able to recall effortlessly had they been telling the truth.
Some people will just sound nervous or agitated at inappropriate times where they need not be. Others may be jumpy and defensive or hesitate before answering questions.
10. They start sweating more or breathing harder. A liar’s body will often give them away. Lying is stressful and causes both our heart rate and blood pressure to increase, which in turn makes us breathe more heavily and perspire. These two physical changes are highly noticeable within the setting and circumstances, so watch out for the obvious signs!
By honing in on a person’s body language, actions, voice, and their overall manner of speaking, you should be able to discern if they are lying or not. Simply training yourself to notice the above signs will give you a clearer overall picture down the line and help you figure out the truth.
The accompanying video covers these and a few additional signs so check it out and be sure to use them to your advantage. Call out the lies and the liars when you see or hear them, whatever comes first!

Husband Films A Bear In His Yard. But Then He Sends Out His Wife The Intimidator To Get It To Leave.

The Grillo family has been getting an unexpected visitor on their porch for the past few weeks. They weren’t really sure what their best course of action was to going to be to handle this specific situation. Everyday a black bear would show up around the same time of day and take a nice stroll through the backyard, exploring the Grillo family’s property. A few times the bear got a little too curious and caused a little bit of damage and left a mess. Finally on this day they had enough of their new neighbor taking over their property when ever he felt like it.
The patriarch of the family Mr. Grillo grabbed his video camera and started filming the bear doing his usual walk across the property like he owns the place. Then the bear ascends the staircase on to the porch which he likes to do most of the time. Mr. Grillo knew his wife was sick and tired of this big old black bear taking over their backyard so he yelled for his wife when he saw the bear about to make himself comfortable on the porch.
At first there was no response, however soon Mr. Grillo’s intimidator/wife Mrs. Grillo swings the door open like she is ready to have a championship boxing match against Mike Tyson in his prime! She comes around and you can tell by her body language and voice she is not messing around and she means business!
Mrs. Grillo makes her presence known and stands up to the black bear with absolutely no fear. Instead of running the opposite way like most people would do if they were standing toe to toe with a big old black bear she walks right towards the confused animal! I know if I was her I would be terrified and immediately run back inside, but she doesn’t even flinch.

Mommy Tells Giant Great Dane To Get Out Of Bed But He Proceeds To Throw a Silent Hissy Fit Instead
image via – facebook.com
Oftentimes our four legged friends are by our sides when we wake up in the morning. Some are eager to start the day off and get in a morning walk while others are there to kindly ask for a tasty treat. Then there are those animals who are less enthusiastic about the prospect of leaving their perfect, cozy, warm beds. If they had a choice they would much rather stay in bed than get up or go outside. The following video features a huge goofy white and black spotted Great Dane who just does not want to get up at all. His mama tries almost every trick in the book to get the big guy out of bed. However, the big guy won’t budge and doesn’t want to partake in mom’s plan and schedule for the day…
The giant puppy, named Reeza, is clearly in no mood for a morning walk and would rather stay put on his well cushioned couch bed. Reeza only wants to snuggle further into the couch, before he finally lets out a big yawn and sits upright on his hind quarters, but then he lays back down to try and get a little more shut eye. In the background his owner pleads, to no avail, for him to start moving and get out of bed.
She even threatens to dump him out of his spot but he could care less. When she moves in closer to him he fakes another try at getting up and for a brief moment it looks like he’s about to jump out of bed. However, he has second thoughts and goes back down on his belly for more blissful rest. At a point near the end of the video Reeza begins to see that there won’t be anymore peaceful time for relaxing as his owner keeps up her urging and renews the threats to pull him out of bed. After a few snuffles, wide yawns, and mushing his face into the cushions he makes a few more false starts before he finally gets up on all fours legs and leaves his bed.
I know all too well how this tired puppy feels. Sometimes you just want to sleep in and when someone is trying to get you out of bed all you can think is ‘go away and leave me alone.’ We have all felt like Reeza at some point in our lives and had moments where getting out of bed is the last thing we want to do.

WATCH: At First It Just Looks Like a Creepy Spider. But What It Is Capable Of Is So STRANGE!
If you have arachnophobia, a fear of spiders, then look away. This video features the colorful and exotic looking Maratus volans, or peacock spider, which is a species in the jumping spider family. They are found in certain parts of Australia, including the island of Tasmania, and pose no threat to humans. These types of spiders don’t even need to spin webs because they have the ability to jump and snatch their prey straight out of thin air.
In this YouTube video uploaded by Peacockspiderman, an oddly beautiful coastal peacock spider puts his colors to work when trying to attract a female mate, hence the comparison to a peacock. This particular type inhabits the coastal dunes around Perth in Western Australia. The blue, red, and black colors it displays are on a flap like extension of its abdomen, which can be raised and lowered.
They also have a third pair of legs that can be raised in display and clapped to further help attract the ladies. When the male approaches a potential mate he vibrates his abdomen while simultaneously waving his raised legs and tail. As if that is not enough he also dances from side to side. This mating ritual can last from as little as four minutes up to as many as fifty.
When the female, the brown spider at the end of the video, views this complex display she may be interested and choose to mate with the male. There is the risk that she may already be carrying eggs, or just not impressed. If she is not interested she may attack, kill, and feed on him, but if he is quick enough, he can escape by jumping long distances to get away from the angry female.
Check out the video to witness the bizarre and intricate mating ritual. You may just learn a new dance move and appreciation for the cute tiny spiders!

Daddy Tells His Pup He Just Got a New Pet From The Pet Store. He Then Decides To Throw a Hysterical Fit.
image via : facebook.com
When it comes to canines and felines, it seems like they either get along great or they can’t stand each other at all. You never know how they are really going to act until you socialize and introduce them to the other pets. When a pup and kitty initially meet the general belief is that the earlier in life they do that, the better they will get along with each other. Sometimes the initial meeting between the pets goes smooth as silk. Other times, the first meeting can go terribly wrong and keeping an eye on them and being prepared for lots of intervention is necessary before the two animals are comfortable enough to be alone together..
Every animal is different and just like their human counterparts, some of them are more solitary and like to be alone, while others prefer having company and are more social in nature. In general canines are more likely to be social just because from an evolutionary standpoint they are more of a pack animal. With cats you almost never know what you are going to get. They pretty much do whatever they want whenever they want!
The adorable black and white pup in this video falls under the more social category, he would absolutely love and adore to have a feline companion by his side. Well, at least that’s how his human imagines his dog’s thoughts and feelings to be! Although most likely these are this cute dogs precious wish to have a new best cat friend! He especially doesn’t want a snake, hamster, guinea pig, mouse, gerbil, newt or a parrot. This dog makes it very clear that all he wants is a new kitty cat!
He gave his dog a voice and dubbed it with perfection as the conversation between the two of them is executed flawlessly. He felt that his pup would be absolutely delighted and ecstatic at the mere thought of getting a brand new addition to his family and would welcome a little fuzzy kitty cat to call his little sister. An adorable tabby kitten would perhaps be the perfect addition to their lives, and so maybe it is time they get one!
The hysterical video of the energetic and happy looking black and white dog talking excitedly about finally getting a new kitty has already captured the hearts of well over 6 million people. It’s easy to see why, the clip is just hilarious and enjoyable to watch over and over again! Everything from the conversation to the dog’s actions, words, behavior and movements are high quality and totally spot on. If you have ever talked to your pet, or had pretend conversation in your head with them, then all of this may look, sound, and seem very familiar to you. No matter how many times I see this video, it never ever gets old!

6 Clear Signs You’re an Old Soul and Don’t Not Know It.
image via – shutterstock.com
There are many people in our lives who are old souls, you may even be one of them. They are wise beyond what their physical appearance or actual age let on and their innate knowledge has given them a very developed understanding of the world. They are often quieter, preferring to observe and learn from a distance, while internalizing the lessons and all of the experiences they go through in life. There is a certain vibe that is hard to put into words but when you are in the presence of these old souls you can totally feel it.
Old souls radiate a certain frequency that is peaceful and stable, they are naturally calming to be around. Many believe that they have acquired their wisdom from the past lives they’ve led and that through this they’ve been gifted with an enlightened view of the complex world we live in.
As it follows, old souls both experience and see things differently and this sets them apart from what everyone else goes through. In turn, they also do things differently and here are some of the ways in which this shows:
1. Old souls travel their own path through life:
They are not followers in any sense of the word and never do what may be expected of them. The typical goals and materialistic inclinations of life are of no interest to them. Instead of success and power, they are after self-realizations and happiness. That’s why they’re often more connected, spiritual, and grounded.
2. Old souls have only a few true lifelong friends:
They often have difficulty connecting with people around their age because they aren’t interested in many of the things those people do or talk about. Rather, they gravitate towards a select few friends who are able to truly understand them and their intense nature. They don’t waste their time getting to know people that they just cannot relate to and it can be said that old souls look for friends whom they see as kindred souls.
3. Old souls have an unquenchable thirst for learning:
Their passion for all things intellectual and informative is clear from the get-go. They love critical thinking and any experiences they go through they will examine in depth to extract important life lessons from them. For an old soul, knowledge brings happiness and power. Having their thoughts challenged is what they live for.
4. Old souls adjust to new situations and surroundings with ease:
They don’t like to stand out or make a scene and prefer to hang back and observe. While they aren’t anti-social per se, they do view themselves as a sort of misunderstood social outcast. Their natural curiosity leads them to ask many questions and from this deeper conversations follow. However, if talk turns idle or superficial, they immediately lose interest. If they’re unable to steer it back to more meaningful topics, they will simply end it abruptly and move on.
5. Old souls look beyond the mundane and see the bigger picture:
They filter out the basic everyday details that tend to cloud the thoughts and minds of everyone else. Their vision is clear and uncompromised by material things or selfish vanity, which they see as senseless and unproductive. Instead of being focused on the here and now, they look right past it, way down the line into the future. Thinking far ahead about all of the possibilities, or the consequences of ones actions, is what gives them a wider perspective and understanding of the world beyond the present.
6. Old souls are spiritual:
This doesn’t mean they are religious devotees, or even a part of any organized religion. Instead, they are more in tune with a variety of ancient rituals and traditions which by practicing brings them happiness. Old souls are always seeking enlightenment through knowledge, and spirituality both encompasses and fulfills a major part of this.
