How to Spot a Liar

What happens here

The video explicitly dispels the common belief that rubbing the back of the neck is a universal sign of lying. Instead, this gesture typically indicates that the person has a question or something they wish to bring up but are uncomfortable doing so, or they are self-soothing due to general discomfort, rather than direct deception.

Goal: Correctly interpret neck rubbing as discomfort or an unasked question, not necessarily a lie.

that I asked that I want to dispel a myth on was rubbing the back of the neck to me that always meant that hey you know what I think somebody's lying to me if they're talking to me they can't look at me they're rubbing their back of the neck really what it means is they have a question it's not they're lying it's that they're uncomfortable they have something they want to bring up to you they don't know how to do it and this is a way to soothe themselves so a lot of fun things that you can learn out there and I know we're we've covered body
