00:00How to spot a chronic liar. 10 according to psychology. Number one, your gut knows before

00:07your mind does. Pathological liars repeat fabrications until they feel true. Conviction

00:13persuades minds, but guts detect inconsistencies. Trust unease. Number two, their stories sound

00:21like movie plots. Watch for dramatic, unlikely tales about celebrities or awards without evidence.

00:27When proof never appears, suspect fiction over facts. Number three, they flood you with unnecessary

00:35details. Excessive, unasked for details make lies feel real and obscure truth. Sustained deception

00:42relies on elaborate, distracting information. Number four, the truth would work, but they lie

00:49anyway. They lie about trivial matters despite no benefit. Compulsion outweighs honesty, resembling

00:56obsessive urges beyond deliberate choice. Number five, their story changes every time

01:03they tell it. Details shift with each retelling. They construct narratives, not recall truths.

01:10Record versions to expose accumulating inconsistencies. Number six, your memory never matches theirs.

01:19They recall conversations that never occurred and appropriate your experiences. Apparent sincerity

01:24misleads. Document important events and trust yourself. Number seven, watch their body language when they

01:32speak. Liars gesture less and sometimes contradict themselves. Defensiveness under questioning emerges

01:38and behaviors diverge from claimed words. Number eight, they claim your experiences as their own.

01:46Early shame and fragile identity drive them to appropriate your achievements, presenting your experiences

01:52as theirs to seem worthy. Number nine, words and actions never line up. They promise much but rarely follow

02:01through. The curated image eclipses reality. Judge reliability by consistent actions, not words. Number 10, they

02:10deflect when you ask questions. Expect vagueness, blame shifting, and irritation when pressed for specifics.

02:16Maintain calm focus. Restating questions to prevent deflection.
