    I’ve heard that when you ask someone something and they look up, they’re remembering, or searching their mind. WHen they look down, it’s emotional, or they’re searching their heart.

    I heard something similar one time but it was more along the lines that if they looked down it meant they were really saying you can mount me if you want to.

    HAHA. THis is wrong moving eyes indicate that they are telling the truth. Direct eye contact- lies.

    No this guy is right, this is pre-school body language, people have been told so often that direct eye contact is telling the truth that a liar will look you right in the eye and say there lie, if they lose eye contact with you ( in a comfortable situation) then there trying to remember something and/or are comfortable in the conversation.

    To tell if someones lying about a story ask them to tell you it backwards, liars never bother learning the story backwards only forwards.

    their right / left or my right / left?

    Also the eye contact thing can vary. Human nature isn’t so banale you can judge the truthfulness of a statement depending on where the persons eyes goes. Even WHILE there might be a correlation between eye movement in one particular direction and telling or not telling a sincere statement, this can be COMPLETELY opposite if the person is for example left-handed or simply is neurodiverse.

    If you put common sense and bullshit into a blender, the result would be Howcast.

    Pfft, I ALWAYS look at people’s lips when they speak, and I’m not deaf either, it doesn’t mean I’m sexually attracted to everyone I talk to.

  14. bustedforever

    I have a problem focusing my eyes, so when i look at people directly in the eye, it over appears to them that I’m a liar

  15. jonnygmo

    i was looking at a guys mouth because his teeth were strange…. that doesn’t mean I’m sexual attracted to them

  16. sepreioth

  17. Mystro1989

  18. pearl4453

    I knew all of this since I started watching tv i mean seriously

  19. Bendyboy3921

    if you seriously want to learn to read body language, you’d do better to totally ignore this video. It’s full of half-true facts and some totally wrong info.

  20. 13charachters

    Same here.

  21. 99ranger202

  22. hectorandrespv

    his right or my right ?

  23. tonyriper

    Well I believe this is an awesome brief of my human behavior class (I’m looking to the right). What I take for myself is that it’s important to find out further on a body sign to avoid miscontrueding a nervous habit but also watch out for all the people that have watched this video as they may try to fool you with their body language but I think that a good round of rapid fired questions would do

    i have a gf but she always looks away, we only met recently and apparently her girl friends told me she is a shy person….

    but she only looks away when we first meet, by the end of the day we end up people telling us to get a room

  25. rorymorris1

    I read that when a person looks right when lying, its also relative to weather they are right or left handed, the left handed person will look left when lying.
