There are several signs that can indicate when someone is lying or trying to deceive you. Some of these signs include using filling words (e.g. um, like, you know), avoiding direct eye contact, speaking in a monotone tone, being inconsistent with their stories and changing topics often. Other warning signs can be if the person starts making up excuses for their actions, does not follow through with agreed upon terms or begins playing the victim even if they have caused their own issues. Knowing how to recognize these signs could help you identify potentially deceptive people and be better able to form trusting relationships in the future.

You can look for signs of deception, such as evasive answers or body language such as excessive fidgeting or averting their eyes. If someone refuses to answer a question directly, this could also be a sign that they are trying to deceive you. Additionally, if their story doesn't add up or you spot inconsistencies in what they are saying, this could suggest that they are being untruthful.
