One Rule: "Everyone is willing to give you something, ready to give you something. Whatever it is they are hungry for."

What is it that I am hungry for? Lying is a cooperative act. We are filling these gaps in our lives with lies. We are deeply ambivalent about the truth. And we don't understand the gaps in our lives. Freud said "no mortal can keep a secret." We all chatter with our fingertips.
  • non-contracted denial (formal language - over-determined) - "did not"
  • distancing language: "that woman"
  • qualifying language: "in all candor"
Real smiles are in the eyes, not cheeks. We rehearse our words but not gestures. Withdrawn, looking down, pause, pepper it with way to much detail, in a very chronological order. Head shakes. They then get away with, known in the trade, duping delight. Making one expression, while masking another that is just leaking an expression of anger in a flash. 

Watch out for an expression of contempt. When anger turns into contempt, you are dismissed. It is associated with moral superiority. Marked by one lip corner pulled up and in. It is the only asymmetrical expression. In the presence of contempt, look the other way, go the other direction, reconsider the deal.

Shift their blink rate. Point their feet towards the exit. Take a barrier object and put it in front. Change and lower vocal tone. When you see a cluster of them, beware. Walk into that curiosity mode.
