How do I know if someone is telling the truth or not?
This might prove a bad blog subject for me as I am the most gullible person I know. Tell me anything, and I will outright believe you, I promise. I feel like only in the last year have I been developing critical thinking skills and skepticism. Anyway, to know if someone is telling me the truth, I would counsel with my gut feeling. It has always tingled when something is amiss (that or I'm just hungry). Intuition. Cross-checking someone's testimony is a way to prove the truth. I go about doing that by asking someone else that is involved or that would know. Do the stories match? That is one way to catch a lie. As always, researching or consulting information resources like the internet, or books, or a third party sustain another person's truth or lie.
Hey, there is always knowing the answer before asking the question--you know for sure that way if someone speaks the truth or not.
