You can tell if someone is lying by their body language. Some of the telltale signals that someone is lying include avoiding eye contact or maintaining it for too long, touching their face, scratching their head or touching their mouths. Sometimes people who are lying may mirror what the person asking the question says in order to buy more time to think of a lie. Also, right-handed people may look to the right when lying and left-handed people may look to the left when they are lying. Overall, most people who are lying will show it on their face without knowing it but still you need to be careful not to take things too far.

When someone crosses their arms across their chest, it could mean that the person is putting up a barrier between them and the other person.
When someone stands with their hands on their hips, it could mean that they feel in control or possibly aggressive.
When someone is listening to another person and they rub their ear or scratch their chin, it could mean that they don’t believe what the person is saying.
When someone is listening to another person and they tilt their head to one side or their eyes glaze over, this could mean that they are bored by what the person is saying.
When someone purses their lips, it could mean they disapprove of something or distrust someone.
When someone bites their lips, it could mean they feel stressed or worried.
