Are you good at spotting liars?

[Lollyfalalalalalalalalaaahhhhh]

I'm pretty good at spotting inconsistencies or outright lies, tall tales etc.

I used to find it absolutely maddening when other people stuck their heads in the sands and made excuses for said liar, only to later be shocked/disappointed.

With age I've chilled out, and have learnt to just nod and smile and wait for my suspicions to be confirmed without losing my shit.

Can you spot a lie or are you the more gullible/trusting type?

U can spot a liar a mile away too.
I'm also very good at spotting horrible insincere people too and bullies.

I'm very good at spotting liars / schemers / lazy people especially in a work context - to the extent that I'm annoyed with myself on the rare occasion I'm initially fooled.

Sadly most people fall for it and most liars get away with it with no comeback.

Yep I can spot an inconsistency a mile off, and also as a pp said, fake/insincere bullies too.

I'm often baffled when others fail to see what is obviously clear to me, and I have to stop and remind myself that not everyone has a bullshit radar as finely tuned as mine.

It depends on the person.

Having said that yes I fired somebody for unprofessional behavior this year permanently.

No. I married one.

I’m autistic and over the years I’ve had the piss taken out of me for being ‘gullible’ and ‘naive’. I take things at face value and I’ve been manipulated before. I’ve also walked away from what I thought was a normal conversation and then I’ve been told later that the person was being mean to me.

I’m not sure of the science behind it but apparently it’s really common amongst autistic people.

No, I have believed and trusted people that I really shouldn't have but once it's pointed out to me I can't unsee it and it's obvious

Yes, I can spot lying, manipulation and insincerity a mile off and it always surprises me when others can’t.

No 😭 I’m terrible at it. I think I just want to believe that people are good too much.

I'd like to think so, but maybe I'm only good at spotting the bad liars - those who give inconsistent accounts, or whose body language is clearly at odds with what they're saying.

I suspect the good liars, who remember what they've said and don't keep changing their story, or who can act what they say rather than what they feel, get right past me.

Yes, I am excellent at it

It doesn’t improve my life though, unfortunately. I wish I could be more like my H who sees the good in everyone and seems to get more joy out of life consequently
