Spot a Liar on the Phone—Here's How!

Ever wondered if someone's lying to you over the phone? 🙈 I’ve been there, and it’s TOUGH without those face-to-face clues! But I’ve learned a few tricks to catch those sneaky fibs. Here’s what I listen for: • Throat clearing or a voice that suddenly sounds weird (creaky, high-pitched, or loud) • Awkward pauses or slow answers—like they’re making up a story on the spot • Tons of filler words: “um,” “well,” “like” (count ‘em!) • Vague or super short answers—no details, no names • Overly defensive or trying to change the subject FAST • Laughing things off or dodging yes/no questions Trust your gut! If something feels off, it probably is. I always try to stay calm and ask direct questions. Sometimes, people lie because they’re scared to be honest—so I keep it chill and open up the convo. ❤️ Don’t let phone lies stress you out. You’ve got this! 😅 #CommunicationTips #TrustYourGut #PhoneConvos #Education
