A US lawyer and communications expert has shared a technique to identify liars during conversations, claiming that truth-tellers and liars react differently to unresolved claims. Jefferson Fisher, who runs a law firm and has over 1.5 million followers on TikTok, said liars hate 'unresolvedness' and will push for immediate acceptance of their story.
In a recent video, Fisher explained: 'There is nothing a liar hates more than unresolvedness. They want you to buy the lie now... When you don't, and you say something doesn't feel right, people who tell the truth go, 'Okay, no problem.' But liars will react defensively, asking, 'What do you think? You think I'm not telling the truth?' and escalate the situation.'
Fisher advised that truth-tellers are happy to provide details and references, while liars dislike prolonging the discussion. The video garnered thousands of likes, with many viewers finding the advice useful.
In another post, Fisher outlined three signs of fake behaviour: 'bestie bombing' (excessive instant friendship), over-compliments, and self-centred conversation. He said secure people do not attach instantly, and most people can sense insincere praise.
