Do you have any ways you can tell when someone is lying?

One way is that people tend to add extra details to lies. So if I ask "where's Bob?" a truthful answer might sound like "Bob went to the drug store." A lie might sounds like "Bob went to CVS to buy cough medicine and some shampoo." Cough medicine and shampoo aren't useful details, they''re included as a distraction.

So when something seems too detailed, just ask yourself if those details are actually important for you to know.
