Former CIA Officer Will Teach You How to Spot a Lie l Digiday

"Have you ever asked someone a question and they've talked for 10 minutes and then you realized they've never answered the question you asked?" Yeah, they're called politicians.

The biggest lie I tell myself is "you don't need to write that down you'll remember it".

I've been called a liar by a government investigator, and I knew perfectly well I wasn't lying. The air of confidence that people like this speaker present is how they convince decision-makers that they know what they're doing. But they can be wrong too, and their mistakes cost careers.

Any former CIA officer should be able to spot a liar. They are surrounded by each other all day.

Here’s one of the best pieces of general advice I’ve ever been told; if someone is asking you a specific and/or detailed question, it’s because they already know the answer, and that they are testing you and your honesty.

I hate liars and find it extremely difficult to lie. In my life I found that people do not believe you're honest because they themselves are dishonest.

I worked for a particular retail company for a long time, and I sat in on many interviews with the guy who was in charge of loss prevention for almost 200 stores. He was very good at getting people to admit that they stole cash and merchandise. Then we found out HE was stealing!

She is describing 98% of politicians perfectly when she is explaining how liars behave.

biggest lie "i have read the terms and conditions" Edit:too many likes

it's fascinating how an individual understands all the benefits of a lie, yet the body and mind is against it.

CIA : "Everything you say is a lie except what we want you to say".

How can I lie ten times a day if I don't talk to anyone for weeks lol.

This would've been so much more valuable if it had actually included the slides she's referring to as "this", "that over there", "this one", "that one" etc.

I remember one time my dad slapped me across the face and accused me of lying. When he found out that I wasn't lying, he never apologized

I don't need the CIA to help me spot a liar. I've lived with one and I live with 1 now and he is the true definition of a Narcissist.

A politician is only lying when their mouth is moving.

23:51 When you ask someone a question and they talk for 10 minutes, & then you realize they never answered the question...this means they passed the First Practical Test for becoming a POLITICIAN!!

That moment when you realize that you have invested 17 minutes of your life on a random video only to discover that they never actually SHOW the list of behaviors. I want my time back.

I worked as a correctional officer. For 30 years I worked amongst the world's best liars. I took a course in body language in college before my career. Alot of telltale signs of liars. But some prisoners are so good... those signs were not present due to lying being second nature to them. One thing liars can't control, is remembering their lies. Too many of them to keep tab of. THAT'S when you catch them. But they always have an explanation for the contradiction. VERY good con artists. It takes good instincts to uncover them.
