Alpo Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 You are talking to someone. They tell you that, "it would be so easy to" kill you right now, or steal all your money, or cheat on you with another guy. Something terrible like that. And you respond, worried, "You wouldn't really do that, would you?" They immediately say, "No, of course not", or they take a few seconds, before saying, "No, of course not". To me, answering immediately is not something to necessarily believe. It's like, you tell someone you love them and they immediately reply "I love you". They do this because it's been ingrained into them over the years that when someone says I love you you say it back. Like "thank you" and "you're welcome". You don't think about it, you just say it. But the little hesitation, where you actually think before speaking, seems much more believable to me. Like the white wolf said - "I had to think about it".

Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 There is more to it than just answering quickly or after thinking. I would look for other tell tale signs that a person is being deceptive. Body language, facial expression, eyes are more reliable to discover deception. Just my humble (?) opinion.

Subdeacon Joe Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 If talking with an anti in either case I take it seriously. With anyone else I figure that they are just using common figures of speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
