To spot a liar in email and text, look for:
1. *Overly formal language*: Using overly formal language to sound more convincing.
2. *Vagueness*: Avoiding specific details or using vague language to hide the truth.
3. *Emotional language*: Using emotional language to manipulate or distract from the truth.
4. *Inconsistencies*: Contradicting previous statements or providing conflicting information.
5. *Evasion*: Avoiding direct answers or sidestepping questions.
6. *Overly defensive language*: Using defensive language to justify or rationalize behavior.
7. *Lack of personal pronouns*: Avoiding personal pronouns like "I" or "me" to distance themselves from the truth.
8. *Grammar and spelling mistakes*: Making unusual mistakes to appear less sophisticated or hide their identity.
9. *Inconsistent tone*: Using a tone that doesn't match their usual communication style.
10. *Avoiding direct questions*: Dodging direct questions or not providing clear answers.
Keep in mind that these signs don't necessarily confirm deception, as people may exhibit them due to nervousness or discomfort. Trust your instincts and consider the context.
