You've the most calming manner and soothing voice-- yet you're brutal in your analyses!! Brilliant 👏

I always pick up on the “I’m going to be honest with you” or “to tell you the truth I..…” or “I’m not gonna lie to you”. When I hear that stuff alarms go off

My Grandfather always said: listen carefully to people and they will tell you everything about themselves..

I had a "friend" and business partner who was a pathological liar. It was easy to know when he was lying: he was talking.

Being able to read people is a ability you must gradually gain.

Excellent as always…my first husband was the best liar because he just never elaborated. I really had no way to prove or disprove his story. Me: “honey, why are you so late coming home? I was worried about you?” Him “ I had a late table..but it was worth it look how much I made!” (He was a waiter) I had no way of checking his story. I found out later he was having quite the night life!

"I'm an engineer." Wow, that must have been a very intensive two semesters of an engineering course.

Spot on!! I am a retired Law Enforcement Officer, and I have conducted countless interviews with alleged suspects of serious crimes. One of the best ways to get the “truth” is to allow the speaker, or in this example the alleged suspect, just keep talking and talking. Active listening and watching for kinesthetic body language cues are 💯 crucial to catching inconsistencies. Written statements will review lies as well: the slight change in handwriting slant, pressure (almost feels like Braille on the reverse side due to being under stress and pressure), and verb tense switching is a good way to pull apart truth from lies.

Martin, this video was amazing!!! I would love for you to share with us some real cases (closed cases you can speak about) whereas your skills read right through statements and/or interviews - you may have already done this on your channel ??

Our staff are encouraged to listen to Martin at home as a means of self improvement. No ones expected to draw conclusions, just get insights and practice focusing on meanings of representations. I like the shorter ones which you can listen to two or three times to pick up more. This is a good really good one. Thanks Martin.

I notice when people say, “love you. “ Lack of Self-Reference”
Omitting the pronoun “I” removes agency and hence, accountability. Martin De Coder. Thank you for teaching us. 🌻🌻

I noticed that instead of answering a question, he would say, “What’s that?”

[nineteenfortyeight]

We were supposed to notice how indirect and passive Holme's language is. I was distracted by "I'm an engineer." She's no such thing.

[jessieessex]

Leaving off the personal pronoun “I” is one thing that I have always felt was either a sign of laziness (to a degree that makes me feel I don’t want to associate with the person) or deception. Thank you for the confirmation.

[JerseyLynne]

I love the info followed by examples. I learn a lot that way. This is harder than body language channels.

[Jay]

The question is, does sociopaths have those generic "tells" in body language since they are probably not nervous about lying?

[mainzergirl]

Funny how Elizabeth holmes starting her circuitous non-answer with the lie "I'm an engineer."

[olafweyer]

I don't use "I" often because I don't like talking about myself. It makes me feel being arrogant.

[gabe-poyi]

What you do is so helpful. I believe that what we often describe as instinct or “just a feeling” is in actuality us picking up on verbal and non-verbal cues, either unconsciously or subconsciously. But, because we’ve not been taught how to explain what we’ve seen or heard, we’ll talk ourselves out of what we should do. It’s like being uncomfortable around someone, but not being able to say why. I guarantee you if brought to conscious mind and knowing signals and indicators like what you teach, people would be able to determine why. It’s extremely valuable, for it guides one to the appropriate action to take when action is needed, like getting away from someone who’s a threat to your safety or not pursuing a relationship. (I had a visceral dislike of Elizabeth Holmes the first time I ever heard her speak, and it was in no way gender-related. Thanks for helping me understand why; it validates the negative reaction I had toward her.)

Fascinating! I love listening to your analysis and always feel like I've learned something.

I woke up this morning thinking about why 90% of all the men I dated lied to me and unfortunately, I married a liar. I guess I am concerned that I don’t know how to handle a liar. Honestly, thats what was on my mind. I grabbed my journal and wrote it down. Then, I went on YouTube and Martin’s video appeared. Thank you for sharing your work with us!
