2. Their Stories Constantly Change
When a person lies, they often can’t keep the details straight. One of the most telling signs of dishonesty is when their version of events shifts depending on who they’re talking to or when you bring something up again later. Maybe they said they were at home one night, but later mention being out with friends. The small inconsistencies add up fast. This trait shows a lack of grounding in truth. Most people can recall honest moments with relative consistency. But liars need to keep track of fabrications—and few can do it well. They might even accuse you of misremembering when you question the difference. If their stories feel like a moving target, it’s often because they are.
