8. What’s a Micro-expression ?
A micro-expression is a brief, involuntary facial
expression shown on the face of humans when one
is trying to conceal an emotion.
Unlike regular facial expressions, no one can
fake a microexpression. Because when you try and
hide your emotions, they just leak out at fifth of a
second.

25. Self-comforting gesture – Often when people don’t
believe what they are saying.

26. Men have special tissues their nose. If they
lie, often their nose will itch.

28. Break a myth
Most people avoid eye contact when they’re lying. ( False )
The truth is, quiet often, they make more eye contact to
watch and see if you believe their lies.

29. #TIP
Ask liars to tell their stories backwards.
When they’re lying, it’s hard to tell a story backwards,
because there’s no real memory of what happened. Liars
rehearse their stories in order. They don’t think to rehearse
them backwards.
