lol dont mess up like I did and tell them how you know they are lying or they will become better at fibbing to you

If someone looks up and to the left when they are giving you an answer its because they are going to the creative side of the brain to look for an answer which means they are lying. If they look up and to the right its because they are recalling a real memory.

Is this really true? Im going to start watching for this!

That's great info. Thanks.

I learned this is psych or sociology class. When a person is recalling a memory they look to the thought process of the brain. When they fabricate, or lie, they look to the creative side to tell the lie. Body language is big in psychology and sociology.

I can tell a lot from body language because I was very shy when i was a kid and just observed people and became very good at ready the situation when nothing has been said. Not ever kid has this skill but most parents should and your wisdom can prevent a bad situation from getting worse.

has anyone ever heard of if they look up and to the left they are trying to create a lie?
